Hydrauli-Flex: Powering Precision with ICE® Vibratory Equipment
For over 40 years, Mumford and Miller Concrete, Inc. has been a trusted name in servicing both commercial and residential projects. When a residential client with five acres of prime riverside property needed a durable and functional boat ramp, they turned to Mumford and Miller for expertise. To tackle this challenging installation, the team brought in ICE® (International Construction Equipment) and their reliable ICE® 216 Vibratory Pile Driver/Extractor. Central to the success of this project? Hydrauli-Flex hoses.
The Project: Creating a Riverfront Boat Ramp
The task was straightforward but demanding: drive 25-foot vinyl piles into the riverbed to form a sturdy barrier wall, providing the foundation for a new boat ramp. The ICE® 216 Vibratory Hammer, powered by Hydrauli-Flex hoses, delivered the precision and power needed to efficiently drive these piles—sometimes in pairs—into the riverbed. Once the barrier wall was in place, the homeowner poured concrete to shape the ramp and added stones for additional reinforcement.
This self-sufficient approach saved the property owner significantly, with total costs coming in at around $25,000. In return, the newly installed ramp added an estimated $100,000 to the property’s value. Additionally, the vinyl piles now act as a protective shield against erosion, ensuring the longevity of the ramp against the coursing river waters.
Designed for Performance
At the heart of this successful project were Hydrauli-Flex hoses, engineered for durability and reliability in demanding applications. These hoses provide the hydraulic power that ICE® equipment depends on, ensuring:
Consistent Performance: Hydrauli-Flex hoses maintain optimal hydraulic pressure, enabling the ICE® 216 to perform flawlessly under heavy loads.
Durability in Harsh Environments: Resistant to wear and designed for extreme conditions, Hydrauli-Flex hoses withstand the rigors of marine and construction settings.
Efficiency for Cost-Saving Results: By ensuring seamless operation, Hydrauli-Flex hoses help contractors save time and resources, translating to better outcomes for their clients.
