Powering ICE® Equipment for Groundbreaking Construction Projects in Chile
At The Hose Company, we are proud to be a trusted partner of International Construction Equipment, Inc. (ICE®), providing Hydrauli-Flex hoses that deliver exceptional performance in some of the most demanding environments. Our hoses are designed to meet the high standards required in construction projects worldwide, and our collaboration with ICE® has significantly contributed to the success of countless deep foundation projects.
One such project involved the ICE® 22 Water-Cooled (EMIN) Vibratory Hammer, a cutting-edge piece of equipment that has transformed deep foundation work, particularly in the installation of stone columns. The ICE® 22 features an advanced water-cooled system that ensures the hammer operates efficiently, even during extended use in challenging conditions. The ability to maintain optimal operating temperatures for long periods is essential in preventing overheating and ensuring that the hammer functions continuously at peak capacity, making it the ideal solution for ground improvement projects that require stone column installation.
A prime example of this technology in action was a recent project in Chile, where the ICE® 22 hammer played a critical role in improving soil stability through stone column installation. The combination of the ICE® 22's advanced technology and the precision of a Liebherr rig ensured that the project was completed with unparalleled efficiency and reliability, even in tough soil conditions. The Liebherr rig’s renowned stability and power provided the perfect foundation for the ICE® 22, making it a preferred solution for contractors seeking high-performance equipment for challenging environments.
To complement the power and precision of the ICE® 22, the project also incorporated the ICE HB-55 Hydraulic Rotary Drill. This high-torque, high-speed drill further enhanced the contractor's ability to execute ground improvement tasks efficiently, ensuring that the project met its goals with exceptional precision.
In addition to the sophisticated machinery, the integration of Hydrauli-Flex hoses into the setup significantly contributed to the success of the project. Here's how:
Durability: Hydrauli-Flex hoses are built to withstand extreme pressures and temperatures, reducing the frequency of replacements and minimizing downtime on the job site.
Performance: Our hoses ensure consistent pressure and flow, which is critical for the hydraulic systems to operate at peak efficiency. This level of reliability is crucial when working with heavy-duty equipment like the ICE® 22, especially when precision and power are essential for tasks like stone column installation.
Safety: Hydrauli-Flex hoses are engineered to reduce the risk of leaks and bursts, improving the safety of the entire worksite. With safety being a top priority in construction, our hoses provide the peace of mind that comes with knowing the equipment is functioning at its best.
By partnering with ICE® and incorporating Hydrauli-Flex hoses into their equipment, construction teams are able to achieve greater productivity, efficiency, and safety on the job. The combination of ICE®'s advanced equipment and Hydrauli-Flex hoses sets a new benchmark for reliability and performance in the deep foundation industry.
