When Waterfront Marine was awarded the contract to drive all of the piling for the new 4 story parking grage in downtown Norfolk, they knew they had their work cut out for them. They had to drive aprox. 580 12″x 12″ x 85′ piles with a very demanding schedule. Waterfront, being one of the leaders in piledriving in the Tidewater area, already owns many APE diesel hammers. They started out with 2 each APE D19-42 hammers and replaced one with a APE D30-42 as well as an APE Model 20 drill to pre-drill. Operations Manager Bill Hall said, “making that move doubled our production”. APE is the only way to go ! All is going full speed ahead. We wish them a safe and productive project. We also want to thank Mr. Scott Wall of Atlantic Coast Engineering of Va. Beach for doing all the PDA WEAP & WAVE information. He’s shown in one of the pictures with his mobile PDA. Call them for all your engineering needs.
If you’re not currently using APE equipment, you need to. APE is the largest piledriving & foundation equipment manufacturer in the world. Deal direct with the factory…………. GO APE !

MCM Construction of Northern California is one of the largest bridge builders in California. Traveling from north to south on the freeways & highways of California we can drive with confidence knowing that these bridges are built on solid foundations! Foundations driven with APE equipment! Here on the S.F. Bay Bridge MCM Construction drives 7’ diameter pipe pile 180’ long into bedrock formations using an APE D180-42 diesel hammer! When it comes to the BIG piles, APE has the right equipment to get them in the ground.
