Combi wall clients often use an ICE vibro to extract the casing piles of a combi wall, and chose the excavator mounted vibro for the extracting of the shorter sheet piles, mainly because the excavator is an efficient lifting and handling tool and because changing the clamps from single to double is a big job. Did you know that ICE offers a tool that makes it possible to switch from single to double clamp in minutes without removing a single bolt?
All you need is a transition piece that allows the double clamp to clamp the single clamp.
We propose using the ICE vibro to do the hard work to loosen the sheet pile and pull them up a few meters so that the exactor mounted vibro only needs to pick them up. This combination will have the highest efficiency and will reduce the wear on the excavator mounted hammer.
Summing up, even clients that are already working with an ICE free-hanging vibratory and an excavator mounted hammer on site, profit from the enhanced efficiency of letting the vibro do the hard work and the excavator the maneuvering work.
Just as the sheet pile combi wall is a combination of the two best properties of each pile (strength of casing vs. cost effectiveness of the sheet pile); so the combination of vibro (speed) and baby vibro (handling speed) is a winning combination.
