™As part of Mexico's strategic infrastructure initiative, the Port of Guaymas in the state of Sonora is undergoing a sweeping modernization and expansion. Located along the Gulf of California, this vital commercial hub is being upgraded to improve efficiency, strengthen trade capacity, and reinforce aging marine structures.  

Helping to anchor the project, both figuratively and literally, is an ICE® 66C Vibratory Driver/Extractor from International Construction Equipment, Inc. (ICE®), a robust and reliable machine ideally suited for demanding marine foundation work. Known for its exceptional driving power and precision, the ICE® 66C is being used to install piles critical to dock reinforcement and expansion. 

SG Cimentacions and Ports, a 100% Mexican firm with a top-tier reputation in deep foundation and maritime-port construction is the contractor leading this mission-critical effort. Their experience in marine environments, coupled with innovative equipment, has made them a key player in shaping coastal infrastructure across the region.  

Leveraging the ICE® 66C brings to the job 6600 in-lbs of eccentric moment, offering the strength needed to drive into often challenging subsurface conditions typical of coastal sites. The machine's performance is further enhanced by the critical support of high-pressure, durable hydraulic hoses, which ensure uninterrupted operation in high-load cycles under rugged marine conditions. These Hydrauli-flex hoses play a pivotal role in maintaining system integrity and safety, especially when working on or near water where operational risks are heightened.

This project is not just a milestone in Mexico's coastal development; it is a testament to what can be accomplished when trusted equipment and expert engineering come together in one of the most demanding environments in construction. Bravo, SG Cimentacions and Ports! International Construction Equipment looks forward to continuing to support this project and many others along the coast of Mexico.
