When Tony Cardoso and Tony Alves of Cruz Construction, Holmdel, NJ needed a small vibro to drive 24″ wide flat sheets for a circular cofferdam, APE NE got the call. The APE 50 Vibro was the tool of choice for its power versus weight, as the next phase of the job involves quite a long reach. The Pompton Lakes Dam job is an Army Corps of Engineers flood remediation project.

Offshore Specialty Fabricators used the APE model 300 vibro to pull 48″ x 40′ x 2″ wall pipe piles in 150′ of water. Howard Touchet was very pleased with the performance of the Ape vibro. It took anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes to extract each pile. The APE vibro is the only vibro available that you can use in that water depth with out pumping air to the transmission as you let it down and releasing it as you bring it up which often results in blown seals that allows the transmission to fill with water.
