APE Special Applications: Helicopter Template System
Reported From: APE Mid-Atlantic (VA)
American Piledriving Equipment, in conjunction with Thomas & Betts and Erickson Air Crane, recently completed a day long demonstration for the ASCE Exhibition in Birmingham, Alabama of a model Patented Heli-template System designed and developed by APE. The demo took place in Birmington, Alabama. Stormy weather during the demonstration offered the perfect environment to showcase versatile reliability the APE Heli-template offers. The system was demonstrated 3 times during the day for over 130 observers at a time.
The process starts with the mobilization of the crane pads. The heli-template is then placed on the mats for caisson placement. The caisson is brought in and loaded into the heli-template. While the helicopter is bringing in the driver/extractor, the heli-template plumbs the caisson for driving. The caisson is then driven to grade.
