Introduction of Vibro Hammer

A vibro hammer, also known as a vibratory hammer, is a piece of construction equipment used to drive piles (like sheet piles, pipes, or other elements) into the ground or extract them using vibrations. It works by creating vertical vibrations that loosen the surrounding soil, reducing friction and allowing the pile to be driven or pulled with less force.Vibratory hammers can be divided into CRANE HANGING VIBRO HAMMER, SIDE GRIP VIBRO HAMMER, EXCAVATOR MOUNTED VIBRO HAMMER and RESONANCE FREE VIBRO HAMMER.

How it works:

Vibration:
Vibro hammers use eccentric weights (weights that are not centered) in a gearbox to generate high-frequency vertical vibrations.

Soil Loosening:
These vibrations cause the soil particles to move and become less dense, reducing the resistance to pile penetration.

Driving and Extracting:
The hammer is attached to the pile, and the vibrations facilitate the driving or extraction process.

Crane or Excavator Mounting:
Vibro hammers can be mounted on cranes or excavators, offering flexibility in different construction settings.

Common Applications:
Foundation Construction: Building foundations for structures like bridges, harbors, and buildings.
Sheet Pile Installation: Driving sheet piles for retaining walls and cofferdams.
Pipe Piling: Installing steel or concrete pipes as foundations.
Marine Structures: Constructing piers, docks, and other structures in or near water.
Urban Areas: Vibro hammers are often preferred in urban environments due to their relatively quiet operation compared to impact hammers.

Advantages of Vibro Hammers:

Faster Installation:
Vibro hammers can drive piles significantly faster than traditional methods.

Reduced Noise:
Generally quieter than impact hammers, making them suitable for urban environments.

Versatility:
Can be used for driving and extracting a variety of pile types.

Reduced Ground Vibration:
Modern hydraulic hammers can minimize vibration transfer to surrounding structures.
