Zep Construction

Mr. Jovan Zepcevski recently purchased a new APE Model 75 Top Drive Auger running from a new APE Model 350 Power Unit, he also purchased a Used J&M Model 416 Vibratory Driver to use with the APE 350 Power unit when it is not in service with the APE Model 75 Auger. This purchase gives Zep Construction more options with less initial expense. I look forward to helping Mr. Zepcevski continue to upgrade his Piledriving equipment fleet in the future.

APE Caribbean

Brothers David & Tony Cooper owners of Marenco LTD of Barbados W.I. recently purchased a New J&M Model 50 Power unit to run this Sand Dredge. The J&M Model 50 Power unit is used in conjunction with a 6” Sand Pump. When they have completed the Dredge work the J&M Model 50 P.U. will be used to Power their recently purchased J&M Model 218 Pile Crusher.
The Coopers once again have shown me you can build a very functional and profitable piece of equipment using what they have on hand and some old fashioned Caribbean Engineering.

Flat Iron Builds the John’s Pass Bridge

Flatiron Constructors Inc. are making excellent progress on the replacement of the John’s Pass Bridge. They are using a New APE 200-6 / 630 Power unit, which they purchased to drive Caissons and have been very happy with the performance of the new Vibro. They also have an APE 200T Vibro on site for the Sheet pile work and (2) D46-42 Diesel Pile Hammers for the Trestle work.

Flatiron also has purchased (2) D30-42 Diesel Hammers and a 200T for their joint venture project in Tampa, FL. On that jobsite they also have a J&M 44-50 on rental and a J&M Model 5050 Auger.
We at APE wish to thank all the great people at Flatiron for their continued business. It is a pleasure to work with such a professional organization.
