High demands on performance, reliability and safe integration into ongoing construction operations
THE TASK

Micropiles during ongoing construction.

In Belgium, micropiles are being installed for a new power transmission line as part of an infrastructure project. The foundation works place high demands on performance, reliability and the safe integration of the drilling technology into ongoing construction operations.

A EURODRILL RH32X is being used for the project. The collaboration with Franki Foundations Belgium demonstrates how EURODRILL technology delivers in European specialist foundation engineering: with reliable performance, a wide speed and torque range and a head solution that offers economic advantages even as power requirements increase.

Positive feedback from the ongoing operation highlights the strengths of the RH32X: powerful technology, precise configuration and reliable collaboration for demanding foundation work.

IN ACTION

Performance you can rely on, even under high loads.
