First Machine Sold

Foundation Piling Purchases First DH10.3

After 1 year of design, conformance and construction, our first drop hammer piling rig is complete and sold straight to Foundation Piling. They were looking for a modern, efficient, and safe piling rig to add to their expanding fleet of equipment.

Foundation Piling already owned a GP Services D1000 that was becoming out of date and problematic due to the ever-increasing emissions and safety standards that have come into force in the UK construction industry. They were looking for a machine that would decrease operator fatigue and would increase their daily meterage rate. They liked the onboard continuous welder system that allows them to weld and pile at the same time. Which reduces their service and hire cost when involved with using a site welder.

They also needed a more efficient engine to enable them to work in London’s ‘Low Emission Zone’ for Non-Road Mobile Machinery. So, our JCB Dieselmax 430 Stage V engine that powers the RPR DH10.3 future proofs them for work in the NRMM Low emission zone.

NRMM Low Emission zones map
All machinery in the Central Activities Zone and Opportunity Areas, including Canary Wharf, (shown in orange) should meet at least stage IV. All machinery on sites in the rest of London (shown in blue) should meet at least stage III B.

Stage IV has also not been directly defined for variable speed engines smaller than 56 kW. In most cases, these engines will need to meet stage V if they are in the Central Activities Zone and Opportunity Areas (OAs).
We at Advanced Mini Piling Systems thank Foundation Piling Ltd for purchasing from us and look forward to working with them in the future.

Thank you for supporting us and buying a British product.
