Kirk with Ruskin Construction is installing 700 wood piles for the Sooke Bridge Retrofit Project on Vancouver Island. Because of the limited headroom, conventional methods for installing the piles located under the active bridge would not work. The shortest hydraulic impact hammer available on the market was the best choice.
Kirk and his crew assembled the equipment making use of all available headroom-right down to the inch.
The 7.5 low headroom hydraulic impact hammer can be installed on an excavator or forklift in leads or flying.
