26 CORPORATE New SR-100 model

Soilmec… means innovationBauma 2010 proved to be a real success although the problems linked to the air traffic kept many customers at home, both across the ocean and in the Far East. That’s why we are really hoping to meet them soon at the Bauma China and at Conexpo…. And, in the meantime, here you are the Report with all the news Soilmec has just exhibited in Germany. As you can see, after so much work on the new products, new services, new technologies and new accessories, the time finally came to show them all to you, dear loyal clients, who never failed to trust us. There was a bit of emotion before the Bauma exhibition, because it was the time where the final synthesis of a long and demanding work of

analysis, design, production and testing was going to be disclosed. Moreover, Bauma 2010 was right after the celebration of the 40th Soilmec Anniversary and we wanted to point out our presence at the exhibition with the slogan “is innovation”. A synthesis, translated in many languages, which was aimed at underlining the instinctive attitude of our company to always look ahead, to explore new paths, to think about solutions that are more and more suitable for meeting the requirements of our customers. This was in the past and this will be in the future. Since innovation doesn’t exclusively come out from the core of the Technical or the R&D Departments, but from everywhere. It’s a cultural approach, a way of being and of interpreting one’s own work. Simone Trevisani

new productsPremiere at Bauma for the first Soilmec crane with electro-hydraulic proportional control system that provides accurate and simultaneous movements

At Bauma 2010, Soilmec has introduced the new SC-65, the latest of the “heavy

duty” crawler cranes. SC-65 is the first Soilmec crane with an electro-hydraulic

proportional control system that provides

accurate and simultaneous movements.

Regarding performance, the maximum

capacity is 65.7 tons with a working

radius of about 3.5 m; the diesel engine

power (403 kW) and the hoisting force

(240 kN) are greater than those of the

main competitors’ cranes.

Another advantage is the new Soilmec cab (read the

article at page 11), very comfortable for the operator and,

especially, its innovative control panel. Finally, we have to

highlight the different possible operating configurations

(crane, hydraulic grab, cable grab, hydraulic rotary, etc.),

which allow the SC-65 to be suitable for a large range

of building yards.

The new H-8 hydromill is applied for the first time on

the SC-120 with a DMS controlled electroproportional

installation. On the module displayed at the exhibition,

major internal improvements were carried out in order to

rationalize the correction system, clearly improve the hydraulic

seals pertaining to the underground portion and implement

flotation control through the DMS system. Other main and

clearly visible changes can be found on

the new hydraulic cylinder-based milling

drum orientation system and in the

introduction of a quick disassembly

system for the drum motors, designed

with the goal of reducing replacement/

maintenance downtime significantly,

while preserving the uniqueness of the

Soilmec milling module, which must

still be equipped with inclination plate

for the single milling drums, a further

correction system in addition to the spacers. Another innovation

concerns the reduction in the number of hydraulic hoses feeding

the cutting module.

new products

The SR-30 with the guided hydraulic

grab (GK5) widens and completes the

range of equipment dedicated to the

execution of diaphragm walls. The new

series is particularly suitable for working

in medium/easy soils where productivity,

excavation verticality and easy handling in

narrow spaces are the main requirements.

These features are possible thanks to

the telescopic Kelly bars made of four

elements (one is fixed while the other

three are telescopic) and to the mast

which can rotate by +/-45°. The main

advantage offered by the SR-30 rig is

that it can be transported complete

with the mast folded on the rig and

the grab frame already assembled,

so that, as soon as the rig arrives on the site, it is ready to lift the mast and for the

rig to immediately start work, hence reducing the assembly time. It can carry out

diaphragm walls with a thickness variable from 400 to 800 mm (the optional kit for

thicknesses of 300-600 mm is also available), width from 2,000 to 2,500 mm and a

max depth of 31 m (with a 5 m extension).

new productsSoilmec completes its microdrilling line by expanding its product range to the field of renovation and limited space consolidations

Thanks to the new SM-3 and SM-5 microdrilling rigs, the Group has now the capability

of meeting the needs of subsoil engineering with machines sized between three and

thirty two tons.

The new SM-5 is a compact drill rig weighting 5.5 tons, available both with a

combined kinematic mechanism that includes a telescopic arm, a +/- 90° side

tilting and a slewing ring on mast (standard version) and, in the G version, a fixed

kinematic mechanism and coring rotary, for soil-investigation.

The significant installed power, 72 kW, allows achieves high performance despite

small dimensions, thanks to a wide rotary selection with torque values ranging

between 690 daNm and 2100 daNm.

The new SM-3 microdrilling rig.

SM-3 is a new micro drilling rig specially designed to satisfy those customers who

need to have high-range performance even in narrow and constrained

spaces. The main unit shows up expandable crawlers (780 mm-1130 mm), outriggers,

telescopic zoom, mast tilting +/- 15° and slew ring for working area +/- 180°. The

SM-3 can be equipped with a wide range of rotary heads (up to 900 daNm) to meet

different drilling works requirements. Its modular mast offer the chance to have three

different strokes for 1, 1,5 and 2 m long rods and is complete with a hydraulic-

motor-crowd-system (also a cylinder-crowd-system is available). The main unit comes

with a separated 2.5 ton weight power pack (75 kW electric or 85 kW diesel or 115

kW diesel) equipped with expandable crawlers as well (800-1150 mm).

The versatility of the micro rig is even proved by the possibility of installing a

special mast light extension given way to the Jet Grouting technology and able to

use JG rods up to 90 mm diameter.

new productsSoilmec presents the new SMT-500 and SDM-35, mud treatment system and sludge treatment plant with an innovative design

In decades of activity, the know-how acquired by the Trevi Group with regard to the

execution of diaphragm walls by means of hydromill, as well as the direct experience in

the oil field, have allowed the Group’s R&D to develop a new Mud Treatment System

(SMT-500) which covers the most updated and advanced technical solutions, in order to

offer a dedicated company unit to be used as alternative to the conventional ones. The

problem linked to the space availability in metropolitan sites is a recurrent reality

and, for this reason, our experience has allowed the execution of a unit which covers the

system of tanks and mud stirring in order to reduce as much as possible the overall

dimensions on the map and gain vertical space. The unit is assembled on

the top of the tanks and it is conceived in such a way as to be compact and

functional with regard to the operator’s activities. The innovative design of

the mud treatment unit, which is characterised by the remarkable height

at which separated solids are unloaded, has also allowed to develop the

project ‘Detritus Management’ (SDM) where the excavation debris are

destined to be piled up. This unit is schematically characterized by

SMT-500 & SDM-35

Soilmec Mud Treatment & Detritus Management

a hopper provided with a controlled unloading system through

a screw conveyor placed on the bottom. The installation in the

doorway allows to transit behind the hopper

of the vehicles in order to make automation

possible during the loading phase. The

debris’ storage capacity is sufficient to

guarantee the unit activity: the exhibited

version shows a storing capacity of 35mc.

This solution has the merit of avoiding the

construction of storing tanks during the

works, but, especially, of further reducing

the overall encumbrance within the site

and its increased cleaning requirement.

Moreover, the adoption of the SDM

allows elimination of a rig (excavator

or bucket) and relevant operator, hence

cutting site costs. For both exhibited units,

the “folding” solution allows the maximum

optimization of volume and transport

logistics, but without compromising the

easy and quick set-up on the site.

SM-18 JG Microdrilling Rig

Soilmec SM-18 multipurpose drilling rig was developed from the fusion of Trevi Group

jobsite experience and Soilmec technological research, thus perfectly responding to

the needs of professionals worldwide. This rig offers higher performances: greater

drilling depths due to higher hoist force (more than 11 tons), and engine power totally

transmitted to the tool through a rotary with a power capacity of 160 HP. Soilmec

SM-18 is faster: load-sensing control system on hydraulic power; over 500 l/min

oil flow given by twin piston pumps; higher speed on any drilling movements.

Last but not least, Soilmec SM-18 is safer: the control of all operations is hydraulic

and proportional; remote control board for each function to find the best working

position in any condition; noise reduction thanks to engine speed set to only 1,900

rpm; innovative emergency stop for drilling functions, safety light for active drilling

mode, telescopic counterweight and telescopic stabilizers for increased stability, easier

maintenance c/w faster fault checks.

accessories

The layout of the containerized cement mixer is

a classic design, built taking into account site

maintenance and operational needs. In terms

of controls, the plant is available in several

configurations ranging from the simplest one,

which allows monitoring only

the plant, up to the most

sophisticated with touch-

screen controls that allow a

more intuitive management of

the plant and the equipment

(pumps and drilling machines)

interfaced with it. The most

advanced versions include

the Soilmec DMS. The

configuration shown at the

exhibition also displays a pair of high capacity silos (up to 58 m3)

featuring a 61% increase compared to previous models, greatly

boosts product management flexibility and optimizes the logistic

supply of materials.

7T-600J High Pressure PumpThe 7T-600J high-pressure grouting pump with separate fluid-end

is the result of the long experience gained by Soilmec in this field. The 2

speed gearbox, developed in cooperation with Drillmec in order to meet

the site requirements, offers a simple product which can cover all load and

pressure needs set forth by the various technologies in just two speeds and

without having recourse to more complex automotive commercial gears

that are usually employed. The automotive gears make

use of 8 or 19 speeds in order to cover the same ranges,

involving higher risks for the operator when choosing the

proper speed. The engine with a maximum power of 600

HP achieves a maximum flow of 500 l/min with the Soilmec

gear (also available with ZF ASTRONIC gear – maximum

capacity 772 l/min), and a maximum pressure of 650 bar.

The upgraded version will include the 3 speed gearbox

for higher performances. Another innovation in this sector is

the introduction of an interactive display where the operator

sets the delivery and pressure values required by the project

and then obtains the selection of the gear and the diesel

engine rotation speed. The equipment can be provided with

a remote control and also with a DMS system.

The Drillmec HH-102 is a fully hydraulic drilling & workover

rig, semi-trailer mounted and able to handle either range 3 or

range 2 drill pipes, with a maximum static hook load capacity

of 100 metric tons. The HH-102 has been manufactured fully

in compliance with eC rules and related aTeX certifications

and aPI Specifications. The main innovations of this hydraulic

drilling rig are aimed to enhance safety, performance and

environmental sustainability, to improve the ratio of actual

drilling time vs. moving and rig up down time, to increase the rig

efficiency and to reduce the cost of drilling. The operator works

from a comfortable and ergonomic drilling console. Most of

the routine operations are completely automatic. The hoisting

system is based on a single hydraulic cylinder telescopic mast

with an integrated hydraulic top drive. The HH-102 is equipped

with an innovative vertical racking system, made of two

bins mounted on low bed trailer, which contain all the drill pipes

and drill collars. The vertical pipe racking system contributes to

quick rig up and rig down and reduces the rig footprint

allowing to work in small locations. The two pipe bins can be

transported and handled full of tubular. The rig is also equipped

with an hydraulic power tong, automatic power slips and an

hydraulic power wrench, which speed up the tripping time.

Soilmec SR-90 hydraulic rotary rig in TTJ configuration.

Following the positive global market feedback, Soilmec proposes the

SR-90 in a new configuration: the TTJ Twin Turbojet. This new solution

for soil mixing consists of double TJ string mounted on the same rig

designed for best breaking-up and mixing of the soil and for maintaining

the vertical direction of the treated panel. The second gear can

range from: 126 kNm @ 16,7 rpm to 36 kNm @ 58 rpm. The

depth of the rig will reach 24.5 m using two 1,600 mm diameter tools.

The distance between the two drilling axis is adjustable from 1,200

mm to 2,000 mm. An important innovation introduced on this new

model is the DMS monitoring system combined with an innovative

GPS positioning system for drilling works. Further more, the SR-90 TTJ

is provided with a system suitable for dialoguing by radio in order to

operate the controls’ rear-action of the high pressure Soilmec pump.

new applications

The versatile SR-80 drilling machine used both with telescopic bars and

Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) is here on display in its double rotary

version for Cased augered Piles (CaP). This technology maintains the

typical speed of auger drilling while adding the privilege of the casing

protecting and driving the hole, which makes the machine particularly

suited to perform cased secant piles (CSP). Ultimately this technology

is proposed in some cases as a winning alternative to the traditional bored

pile. The lower rotary featuring a large passageway allowing the separate

extraction of the auger whenever required, leaving the casing in place.

Finally, in order to ensure jobsite safety, the SR-80 is equipped with a

spoil collecting and conveying system. This system is characterized

by its simplicity and the fact that it does not hinder the drilling stroke,

which can still reach the maximum depth afforded by the machine.

new applications

GC-11 Cable Grab

Soilmec, in line with its past policies, introduces

the use of the crowd winch system also on

the SR-30. The application incorporates new

features present on top of the line products

in terms of quick LDP / CFA conversion, as

well as the innovations

introduced on pull down

rope tensioning. It is also

possible to remove the

lower portion of the mast while maintaining the pull down ropes

in position, so that it becomes possible to drill diameters that are

greater than the below mast centre-to-centre distance. The mast with

its foldable lower and upper portions allows limiting overall dimensions

for transportation purposes. Of particular interest are the jib which

positions by “gravity”, as well as some rotary locking solutions

performed through pins. The fold-down lower and upper mast portions

allow limiting overall dimensions for transportation purposes. The new

mast design allowed implementing the pull down double connection

in the crowd cylinder version so to increase the clearance in case of

casing driving, at the loss of the rotary stroke.

The last mechanical (cable) grab created at Soilmec

allows producing diaphragm walls with a thickness

ranging from a minimum of 600 mm to a maximum

of 1,200 mm, and a width from a minimum of

2,500 mm to a maximum of 3,000 mm. The grab

body can be extended by 3 meters, by inserting

an optional extension. Additionally, extra

counterweights to increase the weight will also

be available. The equipment has a weight ranging

between 10.5 tons and 18 tons depending on

its configuration. The 30 mm diameters handling

rope allows closing

the jaws through a

5-line pull (there

are 6 sheaves).

innovationSoilmec at Bauma 2010 has introduced at its exhibition booth an “Innovation area” dedicated to the presentation of their newly developed technological innovations

The innovation historical itinerary will display a section dedicated to a variety of

Soilmec patents that since 1983 are a synonym of the Group’s constant attention to

research and technological development. Over the course of the event a series of tools

developed and tested in 2008/2009, dedicated to specific technological applications,

will be introduced; the fields of the applications are:

• DEEP SOIL MIXING (DM)

• DISPLACEMENT PILES (DP)

• VIBRODRILLING (VD)

TCT (Tensioning Compaction Technology) - A TCT Soilmec displacement piling

system (DP) provides improved soil strength and load transfer to the surrounding

ground. The TCT tool penetrates in the ground as a simple continuous flight auger

tool, with a minimum power requirement to achieve the drilling rate. During the

extracting phase, a counter rotation closes the bottom of the tool and the conical

shape moves out the surrounding soil. As the TCT tool is extracted, the granular soils

are displaced resulting in a localized increased relative density and strength around the

pile, depending upon soil conditions. Minimal soil quantity comes to the surface.

TJ (TurboJet) - The Turbojet is a Deep Mixing Method (DM) realized through the

combination of mechanical mixing and jet grouting techniques with the target to increase

the daily production rate of mixed soil and to guarantee the column diameter. During the

down stroke phase, the cement-based grout is ejected at high pressure through nozzles

innovation

to desegregate the soil which is blended by the specially designed tool. The column

diameters vary from 600 to 2,400 mm, the max depth is over 30 metres, and both

cohesive and loose soil can be successfully treated. A special telescopic extension (TKTJ)

has been designed to increase the consolidation depth without modification of the standard

rig. The relevant advantages are: higher drilling depth, lighter rig for deeper hole, continuous

jetting during handling time, greater depth specially in low headroom works. When refering

to the to SR- 90 the depth is increased from 24.5 m up to 32 m using the TKTJ.

eJG (elliptical Jet Grouting) - This innovative Jet Grouting process enables the

execution of thin diaphragm walls guaranteeing reduced construction time, less cement

consumption and reduced spoil. A theoretical reduction of 50% in number of columns

executed with elliptical jet with respect to the initial projects where cylindrical columns

were foreseen can give a total reduction of the time execution work over than 40%.

Easier connection and control with the new DMS-Jet monitoring control.

eTJ (enhanced Trevi Jet) - ETJ is the new generation of enhanced jet grouting

monitor. ETJ has been developed by Trevi Group experience, in order to increase the

jetting efficiency in terms of performed diameter or power requirement at the high

pressure pump. Benefits are: Mono-fluid - diameter variation 25-50%, treated volume

60-100%; bi-fluid - diameter variation 15-20%; treated volume 25-40%.

VD Head (Vibrodrilling Rotary) - The VD head is assembled by combining one

conventional rotary to a Vibrator unit: Rotation & Vibration reduce the friction in

cohesiveness soils ensuring an high drilling rate, comparable to top hammer or DTH

performances. The reduction in the skin friction between soil and tools, produced by the

action of the combined vibration and rotation, allow reduction of the needed torque

and avoid the string getting stuck in the hole.

Vibro technology for geothermal drilling - Vibrodrilling technology can be easily

adapted for Geothermal drilling. VD-212 can perform a geothermal hole using a

simpler tube, with lost bit, displacing the surrounding soil. A lost bit allows to insert the

geothermal heat exchanger loop before retrieving the casing. If compared to traditional

system, the reduction of the drilling time is around one half.

DPS (Drilling Positioning System) - As other innovative technologies, also DPS, has

been developed by joint collaboration between Trevi and Soilmec. DPS can control the

drilling deviation of the hole, specially for ground improvement works, bottom plugs,

and for any jet-grouting application.

DPS is an innnovative system to control the drilling deviation

of the hole.

EJG is an innovative Jet Grouting process.

Vibrodrilling technology can be easily adapted for Geothermal drilling.
