Restoring Laurel Hill Park: A Success Story Powered by Hydrauli-Flex Hoses

At The Hose Company, we take immense pride in our role in supporting projects that require precision, reliability, and power. One such project recently unfolded at Laurel Hill Park in Hudson County, New Jersey—a place beloved for its breathtaking views of the Hackensack River and its status as an “ideal open space” within the Meadowlands.

This picturesque location was facing a challenge: its dock, a vital access point for visitors looking to kayak and explore the river, had deteriorated due to aging and unstable wooden pilings. The safety of the dock needed urgent attention, and the solution came in the form of a replacement project carried out by T. R. Weniger, Inc.

The Project: Stabilizing the Dock with Precision

Weniger's team was tasked with replacing the damaged pilings with two new wood piles. To get the job done, they turned to the reliable ICE® 14 Vibratory Driver/Extractor and the ICE® 40 Damper, critical pieces of equipment that ensure the project was completed smoothly.

The ICE® 14 Vibratory Driver/Extractor is a high-performance tool that allows for the efficient installation and extraction of pilings. It is equipped with elastomers on top of the suppressor housing that serve as the first line of defense against vibrations. However, the project team went even further to optimize the operation by using the ICE® 40 Damper.

The Role of Vibration Control

The ICE® 40 Damper plays a crucial role in ensuring minimal impact on the crane's structure by providing secondary suppression. The elastomers featured in both the ICE® 14 Vibratory Hammer and the ICE® 40 Damper help to further isolate vibrations, offering enhanced protection to the crane and the equipment. For crane operators, these solutions are invaluable as they help extend the life of the machinery while enhancing performance during demanding tasks.

Weniger’s crane operator, who used the ICE® 14 Vibratory Hammer along with the ICE® 40 Damper with their Liehbierr hydraulic crane, reported a high level of satisfaction with the vibration reduction and operational efficiency. The tools performed flawlessly, ensuring that the pilings were replaced without unnecessary strain on the crane, and the project was completed on time and to the highest standards.

Restoring Access to the Hackensack River

Thanks to the expertise of Weniger's team and the combination of quality equipment and hydraulic solutions, the dock at Laurel Hill Park has been successfully repaired and is once again ready to welcome visitors. The Hackensack River is now more accessible than ever, allowing kayakers and outdoor enthusiasts to continue enjoying the beauty of Hudson County's natural environment.
