| Problem | The job required a hammer with a heavy ram and short stroke capability. The job was to remove about 3,000 feet of existing trestle and replacing it with a new pier and trestle build from concrete cylinder piles 54 and 36 inches in diameter --- a toital of 350 piles averaging about 120 feet long each. |
| Solution | The I.C.E. Model 275 Hydraulic Impact Hammer was the logical choice. |
| What the Client Says | "We had heard good reports on some of the smaller I.C.E. Hydraulic Impact Hammers and we own several I.C.E. vibratory and some I.C.E. diesel hammers that we are using on another job in Richmond. We felt it was worthwhile to purchase this hammer because of the heavy ram and short stroke. In fact, the ram/stroke relationship makes it ideal for driving pre-stressed concrete piles."
