Grundomat driven piles

[GB_Groundworks]

anyone got one or know about them, we've got bad ground at this joba nd engineer recommending for a cost based approach to pile with 150mm piles,

can get a 130mm grundomat for £2k on ebay and then got a compressor, got mobile 12 kva welder so thinking of adding this to our tool shed although we might mass pour concrete instead, but be nice to offer this.

no? no one? erm.... further investigation required, seem to be cheap when you take into account muck away etc, then just a ground beam ontop of them

To pile with a 130 you would probilly need 2 compressors,the tube has to be a couple or three mm bigger than the mole to allow sand to be put down tube so you can reverse it out,1 man wont lift a 130 mole, i own a 110 and that is a very heavy 6ft long,give TTUK a ring in bedford and as there advise on it they the uk mole center for grundomat,good bunch of guys

130mm mole goes in 150mm pointed pile, with dry mix etc then 1metre sections welded on as you go, looks like a good system we'll see what the grounds like today

Needs 3.2m3 of air/minute
