That was your good experience i think, i like the sound when the piston hitting the pile and the pile going deeper into the ground. I record this video and my camera and cloth covered with oil too. Thank you for watching and greeting from Java, Indonesia.
My dad was a crane oiler on a pile driver , for the rest of my life I will never forget how he smelled of diesel and grease every night when he came home.
That is a diesel hammer. One winch on the crane draws the piston up to top of stroke. Operator pulls one rope to open fuel source then another rope to release piston which then falls, strikes, fires and returns to top of stroke. If it doesn't fire, winch is lowered to catch piston and rise again. The piston is excess of 1 ton and probably 8 or more feet tall. The holes part way up exhaust and intake on each stroke. I'm not confident the hammer is s link belt, not sure they made them. Most common brand is APE.
I can't figure out what's that. But here we still using two type diesel hammer for construction. Thank you R B for watching my video, greeting from Java, Indonesia. Stay safe....
I’ve been a concrete contractor for 26 years and I’m still in awe that the concrete doesn’t shatter, I would have bet that all the fiber, rebar, and wire in the world wouldn’t have held it together
Bornapatriot BythegraceofGod I think the whole thing is cast over a full length I beam with rebar attached all over it then the beam sticks proud a bit on the one abused end.
Concrete is strong in compression. The drive head is a soft material like wood or rubber that softens the impact energy and distributes uniformly through the piling. Like the other guy said, they do break!
Thank you for watching my video, happy new year 2020. Greeting from Java, Indonesia. Another Diesel hammer newest video : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XogF71R5yRI.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7HtjiUncylg.html
Correct, 800 meters is the Indian ocean, there is another video you may like to watch : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XogF71R5yRI.html Thank you for watching, greeting from Java, Indonesia
Which is the ram weight mass of your pile driver hammer? is that a Linkbelt 520? which crane is that and the capacity and which is the weight of the pile? interesting video
We have just acquired one, and cannot get it to fire more than two times. Trying to get it working, it has good compression. Does the Driver on the Bottom of the unit have to be compressed for continual firing? I know it has to be compressed to get it started. It is getting plenty of diesel, but won't fire more than two times sequentially.
You know Guys, Diesel hammer will not fire continuously when the bearing power of the soil in relation to the pile is too small (soil is still soft). It needs more penetration and bigger value of bearing power in order to react the piston or hammer to its minimum piston rebound to continuously firing. The more the soil become hard the more the piston rebound to its maximum height and it will not stop firing unless you will pull the shutdown lever...
Interesting, but ever hear of a microphone windscreen? :^) The sound reminds me of when I was a kid in San Francisco in the 50's when they did a lot of pile driving in the downtown area.
Correct! Thank you for watching and greeting from Java, Indonesia. Another Diesel hammer video : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XogF71R5yRI.html
Por la maquinaria y el trabajo en si: EXCELENTE.... pero, lamentablemente el personal es tratado como mano de descartable.....no tienen los elementos de SEGURIDAD BASICO, es decir: casco, audifonos, guantes, botines, etc, etc....
Thank you.... This videos below show the same method.

Similar of how diesel piston engine works. The hammer fell striking the piston along with the pillar. High compression of air occurred in the chamber due to piston pushed by the pillar when the the chamber "hammer" falls. Thus creating high temperature of air and injecting a spray of diesel mist in right time creating an explosion repelling both chamber back upwards and the piston along the pillar sticking together downwards. And the cycle repeat by the chamber started to falls again
No they don't do it in this site, they only drive all the piles, then they put stone in wire mesh column for the reinforcement to prevent the wild water from the river, in other video, in toll construction, they use rebar over it then pour the concrete for the road construction. Thank you for watching and greeting from Java, Indonesia
I guess that's cool if you have deadlines to meet you need to meet them but still I think I would've waited anyway just because of the weather but then again I'm not a contractor I just watch videos
Well judging by the windspeed what you can tell by listening The wind is moving at 30+ miles an hour so that being said in the United States we have a law that says that heavy cranes like the one that was pulling up that piledriver cannot work in those type of conditions because the winds are too high for it to be safe because there's a chance that it could fall over but it would appear that they just had to get it done no matter what because the contractor said so
