Gene Cole with Knutson Diesel needed a piledriving leader system and hammer that could be cost effective for a small number of piles they needed to install at a Coos Bay Waste Water Treatment Plant.
Having only two available lines on his crane and the cost of a fixed leader not in the budget, two pendant lines from the crane boom to the top of a mid section of lead priced out just right. This freed up the lines to allow for a hammer and pile line.
A drag line was used to control the leads for pile splicing. By retracting the bottom of the leads, the need to lay down the leads to pick up and process the pile was eliminated.
Hammer: APE D12-42 with a standard throttle and small pipe insert.
Pile: minimum 65’x12 3/4″ x .375-wall conical tipped pipe pile for minimum 35 ton bearing.

The 815 Vibratory Pile Driver/Extractor with Model 570 Power Unit has been put back into production. The 812 and later updated version called the 815, was invented by King Evarts of J&M Hydraulics. J&M introduced the 812 in 1974. The 815 was replaced years ago by the newer designed Model 44 but this hammer is too wide to fit on many sheet pile sections. The machine has been updated with new features but still retains its narrow profile. Sale price for Vibratory Pile Driver, Extactor, sheet clamp, and Model 570 power unit is $225,000. Call APE or J&M for prices.
