Extraction Of Steel Sheet Pile

Increasing pressure within the foundation industry to find means to extract previously driven steel piles without creating any noise or potentially damaging vibrations led to the development of the universal pile extractor.

Extraction of steel sheet pile.

Extraction of the pile with the application of vibration is usually effected with cranes. Realtop excavator mounted hydraulic vibratory pile hammer can drive and extract steel sheet pile cement pile rail pile h steel steel pipe etc. Incomplete installation of the pile to the projected mark is eliminated by one two fold raising of the sheet pile by 0 5 0 8 m and its subsequent reinstallation. This compact versatile and very powerful extractor consists of two hydraulic cylinders capable of generating up to 4 000 kn 450 ton of pile extraction force through a set of hydraulically actuated taper wedge jaws.

Passage of the sheet pile below the projected mark is corrected by its building up or plating. Pull the pile as soon as possible after driving it. When piles are used as a temporary means of earthwork support they can be extracted for re use. The longer the pile stays in the soil the more compact the soil becomes and the greater will be the resistance to pulling.
