TAETS 380 Pile Breakers - Circular pile breaker (Full link)
Pile breakers dramatically increase productivity and safety when compared to conventional jack-hammer breaking.

Thyssenkrupp Steelcom has supplied Abigroup the TAETS Type 380 required for the breaking of up to 400 concrete piles at the Kooragang Island project, some of which have a strength of 50 MPa and 10 reinforcement bars. The concrete piles ranged from 600mm to 900mm in diameter.

The TAETS Type 380 performed very well in this job. The minimum diameter that the 380 can crush is 550mm. For this particular job it was breaking four (4) concrete piles in 20 minutes.

Taets Pile Breakers were used to make easy work of the cast in-situ concrete piles of the box drain and swimming pool. A Type 314 circular pile breaker with infill links was used to break both the 400mm and 600mm diameter piles.

Rapcivic were attracted to the speed and low noise operation of hydraulic pile breakers given the dense city location of the development. The Type 380 is the largest hydraulic pile breaker available, capable of breaking circular piles from 600mm to 1800mm in diameter.
