IQIP’s powerful combination at work on the River Thames

News published on September 18, 2024

Earlier this year, we introduced our fully integrated Vibro-Hydrohammer combination—a solution that brings together the best of hydraulic impact and vibratory technologies. Our Vibro-Hydrohammer solution is optimized for challenging and complex project requirements. It combines fast, low-noise vibratory installation with the precision and power of hydraulic impact driving—all from a single supplier. The vibratory hammer enables rapid progress until refusal, after which the Hydrohammer takes over to drive the pile to final depth, even in hard soils.

Just recently, a Vibrohammer F8 and Hydrohammer® S-600 crossed the Channel to support the construction of a new berth at London Gateway. We’re proud to see our Vibro-Hydrohammer combination in action on this project, where a total of 187 piles will be installed.

The Hydrohammer spread includes a custom-engineered clutch sleeve fitted with non-metallic plates to comply with UK regulation and reduce noise during piling.

All equipment is available for rental or purchase, and every project is supported by our MIQIP portal. This online platform gives real-time access to pile driving reports, spread configurations, and 24/7 remote support from our expert technicians.
