BIG in California
Reported From: APE Western (CA)
Nehemiah Construction of Northern California knows what it takes to drive BIG pile… That’s why they called on Steve Cress of APE, the largest piledriving equipment manufacture in the world! With the massive power of the APE model D180-42 diesel hammer and the special application bottom drive system, Nehemiah Construction is able to drive their 8 foot diameter pipe pile160 feet into California’s toughtest soil conditions on Highway 99 in Nicolaus, CA; halfway between Sacramento and Yuba City. As the pile drove deeper the driving got tougher; but it was no match for the MIGHTY APE D180!! As Roger Brown the Construction Manager of Nehemiah said… “We had reservations that the pile would reach tip elevation without major complications but because of APE and Steve Cress and his knowledge of the driving system inovations, our piledriving was made simple”. This is what makes team work sucessful… people who use Steve’s 25 years of knowledge and practical application with confindence! That’s what gets the job done ….the American APE way!!
