We used Glyoxal as the hardener, at a final concentration of 10% by volume and therefore 20% by volume in the A-Component. They worked pretty well what we did was we shaved the joints on each of the pipes when we assembled them so they wouldn't rip the packers and then we greased the packers very well going in. We had to replace some but we have any getting stuck or didn't lose any pipes.
"New developments are required day by day. On the one hand site to improve the actual situation, on the other hand site to create the future and to ensure that future demands can be fulfilled. This requires for instance the development of technical support systems, which enable a more constant and quality ensured installation of special foundation products like piles. As part of the quality control, real time installation control of the production process, data transfer and reporting systems become more and more important ensuring the five dimensions of a jobsite. That means not only the three well known dimensions (width, height, depth) are cover, but also the dimension of time and money. Beside small, but important, details, also the demand of extending the use of methodologies in terms of getting deeper or allow their use in various soil conditions require the development of new tools and equipment. Therefore, the paper will describe some of these new approaches and activities required for these new developments. It will describe also the main equipment which will be needed to execute these works under the various conditionsINTRODUCTIONNew developments are required day by day. Either to improve the actual situation, or to create the future and to ensure that future demands can be fulfilled. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for the development of e.g. “Little Helpers”. “Little helpers” are for example technical support systems, which enable a more constant and quality ensured installation of special foundation products like piles, for example an assistance system like the later explained “drilling” assistant. As part of the quality control, real time installation control of the production process, data transfer and reporting systems become more and more important ensuring the five dimensions of a jobsite. In a second part the focus will be given to new approaches for soil mixing application. Adjustments of tools or equipment to extend the range of possible usage as well in terms of soil conditions as in treatment depth.“LITTLE HELPER”GeneralThe B-Tronic System enables you to efficiently operate, maintain, and administer individual machines as well as entire fleets. It helps you to securely monitor and precisely evaluate your projects and work processes. The system is an integrated system for controlling all operations and visualizing actual operating parameters in real-time on a large interactive touch-screen monitor."
