Steel Pipe Pile Extraction by Vibro Hammer on Barge Crane – Safe and Efficient Marine Solution
Introduction
In marine and riverine construction such as ports, ferry terminals, embankments, or underground pipelines, steel pipe pile extraction is often a complex task. Traditional removal methods are time-consuming, costly, and may cause risks to surrounding structures.
Steel pipe pile extraction by vibro hammer on barge crane, provided by PLC Heavy Lifting Services JSC, offers a professional solution that is safe, fast, and cost-effective. With over 15 years of experience in heavy lifting and marine works, PLC has completed many large-scale projects across Vietnam.
What is Steel Pipe Pile Extraction by Vibro Hammer?
This method uses a hydraulic vibro hammer mounted on a barge crane. The vibro hammer generates strong vertical vibrations that reduce soil friction around the pile, allowing the crane to pull the steel pipe pile out smoothly.
- For piles only driven into soil: piles can be directly extracted by vibro hammer.
- For piles within a concrete foundation: the non-concreted section must be cut off before extraction.
Key advantages of steel pipe pile extraction by vibro hammer on barge crane:
- High efficiency: Shortens project duration, saves time and cost.
- Safety: Minimizes vibration transmission, prevents damage to nearby structures.
- Flexibility: Suitable for different soil conditions, pile diameters (up to Ø1200–Ø1500 and larger).
- Environmental compliance: Proper handling of cut sections, waste, and sludge.
Step-by-Step Process
Survey and Preparation
- Geological and hydrological survey, tide and current analysis.
- Assessment of pile dimensions, depth, and current condition.
- Development of Method Statement, HSE plan, and barge positioning scheme.
Mobilization and Positioning of Barge Crane
- Transport barge crane to the worksite.
- Position barge with anchors or spuds for stability.
- Establish safe working zones and traffic control on water.
Steel Pipe Pile Extraction with Vibro Hammer
- Align and clamp: The crane lowers the vibro hammer to clamp the pile head securely.
- Vibration: Gradually increase frequency and amplitude to loosen the pile.
- Extraction: Combine vibration force with crane pulling to lift the pile vertically.
- Special case – piles with concrete foundation:
- Conventional solution: Diver with mechanical cutter.
- Modern solution (recommended): hydraulic cutting machine with alignment system, safer and more precise.
- Pile handling: Place extracted piles onto barge or transport vehicle, secured properly.
Cleaning and Handover
- Collect cut sections and waste.
- Restore the site and waterways.
- Provide completion documents: daily logbook, pile location map, acceptance reports.
