Driving Success in the O’Hare 21 Initiative
At The Hose Company, we pride ourselves on manufacturing Hydrauli-Flex hoses that are engineered to meet the most demanding requirements of heavy construction and infrastructure projects. Designed with exceptional durability and unmatched performance, Hydrauli-Flex hoses are the ideal partner for ICE® vibratory hammers, ensuring consistent hydraulic flow and reliability under high-pressure conditions.
Hydrauli-Flex: Powering Excellence
Hydrauli-Flex hoses are purpose-built to complement the robust capabilities of ICE® vibratory hammers, such as the ICE® 110. Their reinforced construction minimizes the risk of leaks or failures, making them the preferred choice for high-stakes projects. With Hydrauli-Flex hoses, contractors can count on superior performance, safety, and efficiency, crucial for successful outcomes in challenging environments.
Our commitment to quality aligns seamlessly with ICE®’s reputation for innovation and reliability, ensuring the equipment operates at peak performance. This partnership delivers the tools contractors need to achieve project goals, even under the most demanding conditions.
Supporting the O’Hare 21 Project
The O’Hare 21 initiative is a transformative project aimed at modernizing Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. This ambitious endeavor includes expanding Terminal 5, constructing satellite concourses, and developing the O’Hare Global Terminal. At the heart of this project, E.C. Korneffel Co. (ECK) played a pivotal role, driving steel H-piles and pipe piles to depths of up to 125 feet to support new infrastructure.
To tackle the dense soil and clay at the site, ECK relied on the ICE® 110 Vibratory Hammer, a machine renowned for its driving force and advanced vibration isolation technology. This equipment, paired with Hydrauli-Flex hoses, ensured reliable and efficient operation throughout the piling process. The durability and precision of our hoses provided the hydraulic consistency required to meet the rigorous demands of the project.
Overcoming Challenges
Despite adverse weather, complex ground conditions, and the need to coordinate with multiple contractors, ECK successfully completed their portion of the O’Hare 21 initiative. Hydrauli-Flex hoses played a vital role, enabling the ICE® 110 to perform flawlessly under pressure.
The successful completion of this phase underscores the importance of reliable equipment and components. Hydrauli-Flex hoses ensured uninterrupted hydraulic flow, supporting ECK in achieving their objectives on time and within budget.
Building the Future
As O’Hare International Airport evolves into a modern global hub, the foundational work carried out by ECK, supported by ICE® equipment and Hydrauli-Flex hoses, will remain a cornerstone of its success. Projects like O’Hare 21 demonstrate the critical role our products play in enabling large-scale infrastructure achievements.
