The CCC Group used the APE 200-6 and the Ape 200T vibros to drive the sheetpiles at the seawall in Corpus Christi to within a few feet of grade then they used the APE 7.5 hydraulic impact hammer to finish them off. There was some concern about the 7.5 making too much noise but Micheal Owens of CCC Group said that it was actually quieter than the vibros.

When Napp-Grecco Co. of Newark, NJ needed a powerful, reliable low headroom impact hammer to use with their excavator leader system, Hascal Stockstill called APE/J&M Northeast. The Marion Generating Station PSE&G job in Jersey City NJ required 45′-90′ pipe piles to be driven under low 138kV power lines 45′ high. These lines were de-energized and grounded to a short. The project engineer was concerned that a traditional crane boom could possibly touch the live wires higher up, due to mechanical issues, operator error, etc. At 7 1/2′, APE Model 7.5 Low Headroom Hydraulic Impact Hammer is the shortest on the market, making it the perfect choice for Napp-Grecco’s application. Says 1456 pile driving foreman Vic Ruckstuhl, “The APE 7.5 has been a great hammer for us. It’s the ideal hammer for our leader system.”
Napp-Grecco Co. is a nationally recognized pipeline and underground specialty contractor. Founded 50 years ago, Napp-Grecco’s reputation is based upon getting the most difficult jobs done in the pipeline, petrochemical, and utility construction fields.
