IHC Hydrohammer
|
Frank's International Inc. also inventories the IHC Hydrohammer Model S-90. IHC calls the Hydrohammer "the intelligent hammer" due to its sophisticated electronic control system. This control system is capable of regulating the energy per blow. The net energy applied to the pile, which is measured during every blow is monitored and can be regulated from maximum to less than 5%. Since the measure of energy is precisely known, the force in the pile can be accurately computed. One particulary unique advantage of the Hydrohammer is the control system's ability to shut off the ram automatically if the pile starts to run faster than the hammer (in soft soils), if the hammer is not positioned correctly on the pile. If the stroke becomes too high or if the blow energy is too high. Other advantages unique to this hydraulic hammer are: - It can operate at any angle, even horizontally.
It is suitable for both driving and extracting piles. An optional printer is available to produce a report of the piling operation. Can be used onshore or offshore, in air or submerged under water. The model S-90 can pass through the rotary table of the drilling rig. All relevant components have been tested for piling at depths of up to 2,000 m. In principal, the hammer can operate in even deeper water
