04 | 05 MÜLLER vibrators.Specialists for driving and extracting technology.

Driving and extracting are central construction tasks. Customer requirements in this

area are rightly high as in addition to the project-related technical conditions, aspectssuch as cost efficiency and environmental impact play an important part.

Vibratory pile driving is based on the principle of converting the soil to a quasi-fluid state. This isachieved by vibrating the pile as it impacts the soil.Surface friction on the pile is reduced significantlyby the vibrations, permitting rapid rates of penetra-tion.

For the correct selection of a vibrator, parameterssuch as soil condition, piling weight, length andshape, and the pile driving location should beknown.

Centrifugal force and eccentric moment are funda-mental parameters for classifying an application.Together they overcome the friction between pileand soil.

MÜLLER vibrators meet high quality requirements.They are user-friendly, low-maintenance and long-lasting. For almost every application there is a tailo-red solution, including free-riding systems, excava-tor-mounted vibrators and leader-mounted units.

Compared with other techniques, MÜLLER machi-nes are low on noise emissions and vibrations.

The heart of each vibrator is the exciter block. It isfitted with counter-rotating eccentrics mounted inpairs in special heavy-duty bearings. A springsuspension unit located at the head of the vibratorabsorbs the vibrations generated in the exciterblock, isolating them from the carrier.

MÜLLER vibrators with resonance-free starting andinfinitely variable amplitude as well as “two-in-one”vibrators with stepwise variable eccentric momentand frequency offer advantages in that they can beadapted to suit different working conditions.

rThe ideal combination.Proven vibrators with state-of-the-art technology.

MÜLLER vibrators have a proven track record in civil engineering stretching back more than

50 years. As leading-edge vibratory products they meet all market requirements. Suitablefor a wide range of applications, their reliability and constant development make them a

relevant market factor.

MÜLLER vibrators with fixed eccentric moment (H series).The vibrators are fitted with eccentrics which generate a fixed eccen-tric moment. For continuous use or use in extreme climatic conditions,

vibrators can be equipped with a forced lubrication system includingoil cooling (H3 series).

High-frequency MÜLLER “two in one” vibrators with stepwisevariable eccentric moment (HHF series).The vibrators in the HHF series are suitable for a broad range of appli-cations. The eccentric moment can be increased or reduced in stepsby adding/removing additional weights, allowing one vibrator toachieve different amplitudes and frequencies. Very high eccentricmoments of up to 16491 in-lbs can be generated.

High-frequency MÜLLER vibrators with variable eccentricmoment (HFV series)When starting these vibrators, the eccentrics are arranged in such as

way as to mutually balance out the centrifugal forces they generateand thus prevent any vibration. Once the required frequency hasbeen reached, the eccentrics are turned counter to each other sothat the centrifugal forces act in the same direction and generatevibration. This makes it possible to avoid passing through the reso-nance frequency of the soil (approx. 10 to 25 Hz depending on soiltype) during starting and stopping.

The operating cycle can be broken down intothree phases: the starting phase, the workingphase and the stopping phase. The startingand stopping phases are similar in terms of vibration propagation in the soil. With a non-variable eccentric moment, the machinepasses through the soil's resonant frequencyduring starting and stopping.

This causes the ground around the drivingarea to oscillate and reinforces the vibrations.This is represented by vibration peaks. If the

arrangement of the eccentrics is varied duringstarting and stopping, the counter-rotatingeccentrics balance each other out, eliminatingthe resonance. The settings of the eccentricsare changed when a target frequency isreached. Vibrations are only transferred intothe soil by the pile during the working phase.The difference between the natural frequencyrange of the soil and that of the vibrator is sogreat that the transfer of vibrations is mini-mized. The spring suspension unit is activatedand absorbs the vibrations that could betransferred to the carrier.

Choosing the right equipment is key to the economic and technical success of any vibration

driving job. Parameters such as the size and drive output of the vibrator must be matched tothe length and weight of the pile and the soil conditions.

Ensuring top performance.Parameters, equipment selection and operating principle.

The graphic below provides help in determining the required centrifu-gal force or in selecting the right vibrator based on soil conditions, pileweight and driving depth. Mark a point on the left-hand side of thetable representing the maximum driving depth, and another point on

the right-hand side marking the maximum pile weight.

At the point where this line crosses the soil data line for your project,draw a vertical line to the vibrator models. This provides an overviewof the units which can be considered for your requirements.

Centrifugalforce US ton

Choosing the right vibrator for the job mainly depends on pile size,driving depth and soil conditions. The greater the driving depth andthe harder or more compact the soil, the higher the centrifugal forceand amplitude required. Centrifugal force and amplitude need to behigh enough to overcome the surface friction and tip resistancebetween the pile and the surrounding soil. Key vibrator data in thiscontext are shown in the following descriptions and formulae.

Eccentric moment

M [in-lbs] The eccentric moment is the mea-sure of unbalance. As a determining

factor for amplitude it is a key

parameter for driving operations.

Speed (frequency) n [rpm]

The speed dictates the vibration frequency of the system. The vibrations are

transferred via the pile to the surrounding soil, significantly reducing the surface

friction between pile and soil. High frequencies counter the unwanted spread of

vibrations in the soil.

Centrifugal force

Centrifugal force plays a major part in

reducing surface friction and provides

impact force to overcome tip resistance.

Total amplitude S [in]

Together with centrifugal force, amplitude is a measure of driving performance. A large

“stroke” and high “impact force” ensure good driving progress. When driving and

Driving of 8.69 ft diameter pipes weighing

98.4 to 157.4 US ton for Germany's first

offshore wind project. To ensure verticality, the

first meters were driven with an MS-200 HHF

and a special bracket to which the clamps

were mounted. The pipe was sunk to final depth

with a hydraulic hammer. Vibratory driving can

be used for a wide variety of wind turbine

foundation designs.

MÜLLER vibrators in action.Project alpha ventus.

Pioneering achievement on the high seas.



alpha ventus.The first offshore wind farm in the German Bight.

10 | 11

For the first time ever, electricity for 50 000 people is being generated on the high

seas in 98.4 ft of water. The construction of the alpha ventus wind farm representsa whole new, daring chapter for the energy sector.

The first of what will eventually be a total of 12 wind turbineswas completed on 15 th July 2009. True, wind farms are alreadyin operation off the coasts of Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlandsand Great Britain. But in those cases all the wind turbines arefounded in shallow water. Now wind turbine installations, the sizeof which has never been seen before, are being built in 98.4 ft of

water some approx. 30 mls north of the island of Borkum.

alpha ventus is the start of a new chapter for wind energy. When alltwelve 5 MW wind turbines are finally up and running, alpha ventuswill supply enough electricity for about 50 000 people. The intentionis to install about 10 000 MW of power in German waters by 2020 -up to 25 000 MW in total. The offshore wind turbines are connectedto a transformer station at the south-east corner of the wind farm,from where a 6.3 in underwater cable connects them to the onshoreelectricity grid.

Just the dimensions alone are staggering: The hub of each turbine is295.27 ft above sea level. Including the rotor blades, the total heightis about 508.56 ft, almost as high as Cologne Cathedral. And addedto that is another 98.4 ft below water, down to the seabed. In theNorth Sea wind speeds often reach 55.92 mph and even more, andare accompanied by huge waves. Wind and weather dictate timeta-bles and place great demands on people and equipment.

The extreme ambient conditions intrinsic to the alpha ventus projectcall for maximum safety precautions. Therefore, meteorologists, withthe help of satellites, observe and analyse the weather situationconstantly during the construction work. Before the project started,the ThyssenKrupp GfT Tiefbautechnik installation personnel fromAlsfeld had to undergo the safety training for work on offshore plat-forms and are now available for all projects concerned with wind

power installations in the North Sea.

The customer benefited because that meant 24-hour on-site services– necessary in order to complete the project within the very small timeslot allocated.

Wind farms require secure foundations which place high demands on dimensional accuracy and otherfactors. Deployment under difficult weather conditions at sea, deployment underwater and relativelylow-noise operation are just some of the advantages of vibration technology. More than 60 windturbines are planned for the North Sea alone in the coming years. The good properties of steel makeit an ideal material for building such installations.

The alpha ventus transformer station is founded on four tubular steel piles which support a tubularsteel tower. In this project the piles were vibratory driven down to a depth of 31.18 ft with an MS-200HHF vibrator. Final driving of the piles was carried out with a hydraulic hammer in order to be able tocalculate the loadbearing capacity. This was the first time that vibration technology had been usedsuccessfully in an offshore project. To achieve this pioneering performance, ThyssenKrupp GfTTiefbautechnik tapped its vast stock of knowledge gained from recent projects involving underwater

foundations for port facilities.

The foundation to the alpha ventus transformer station makes use of four tubular steel piles, eachapprox. 128.72 ft long and weighing up to 108.24 US ton. The subsoil here consists of dense to verydense sand strata. The combination of vibration and impact-driving enabled several conditions to befulfilled. After detaching the transport apparatus, the vibrator could be supported directly on the steelpile, thus holding and aligning it. Consequently, neither a costly and elaborate guiding frame nor anapparatus for suspending the pile were necessary.

That in turn saved space on the already very congested installation platform and the vertical align-ment of the pile could be achieved with simple means. A pile-mounted vibrator results in simplevertical installation, an optimum, fast driving time and extremely good economics, too. A mountingbracket with two clamp grips was used in this project.

The amount of steel used in a wind turbine structure is about 984 US ton, which corresponds to theweight of 200 fully grown elephants or 22 railway carriages! The rotor catches the wind from an arearoughly equal to one-and-a-half football pitches. At maximum r.p.m., the tips of the rotor blades arecutting through the air at almost 193.83 mph. It is quite obvious that anchoring this installationsecurely to the seabed is a major challenge. Once the transformer station had been constructed, sixwind turbines were erected on foundations comprising so-called tripods – frameworks anchored to theseabed by means of steel piles. In this project three piles were driven into the seabed per tripod withthe help of MÜLLER vibration technology. The tubular steel piles weigh approx. 127.9-157.4 US toneach - even heavier than those below the transformer station.

In Germany renewable energy now accounts for about 10% of total energy requirements and just over

15% of the electricity consumption. Some 280 000 people are employed in the manufacture of windturbines and solar power installations, in biomass or geothermal energy power plants. This industry isevolving into an important growth sector of the German economy. Germany is the worldwide leader inthe installed output of wind turbines and photovoltaic installations, also in the export of technologiesfor renewable energy.

The vibrator can be adapted quickly to different soil conditions by a simple system of

adding or removing weights, allowing the eccentric moment to be varied. For example, if high frequency is required for work in loose sand, the additional weights can be removed

simply on site to achieve high frequencies with the same centrifugal force.

The need to avoid vibration and noise emissions e.g. on inner-city sites is becoming

increasingly important. Our range of state-of-the-art variable vibrators with resonance-freestarting and stopping was designed specially for this. These machines deliver exceptional

performance while minimizing noise and vibrations. They allow frequency and amplitude to

be matched optimally to the soil conditions. The precision programmable controller enables

several functions to be combined and carried out with just one command. The controller

can also be set so that frequency does not fall below a preselected level.

agExcavator-mounted vibrators can be used to perform general driving,

extracting and compacting work (MS-2 HFB to MS-7 HFB). With amodified clamp arrangement the vibrators MS-4 HFB, MS-6 HFB andMS-7 HFB are suitable for pipe driving. Jobs in vibration-sensitive orinner-city areas are carried out reliably with the vibrators MS-5 HFBVand MS-8 HFBV, which feature resonance-free starting and stopping.The MS-1 HFB was specially designed for installing plastic andwooden piles. The high-performance vibrators MS-9 HFB andMS-17 HFB are needed for jobs in heavy soils.

Choosing the right vibrator for a job depends on soil conditions, thetype of pile and the driving depth. The vibrator also has to be matchedto the excavator (oil flow, pressure). If the excavator cannot supplyenough power, the vibrators can be driven by separate MÜLLERhydraulic power packs. The vibrator is controlled conveniently by theexcavator operator via remote control (cable or radio).

Excavator-mounted vibrators arefitted to the excavator stick bymeans of a connecting fork. Weoffer forks matched to your exca-vator. A rotary joint allows easyalignment of the vibrator with thepiling. The high-strength pushhead allows additional forces tobe applied from the excavator tothe vibrator, boosting driving per-formance. The vibrator is oper-ated by the excavator “tilt stick”control.

The vibrator is connected to theboom's hydraulic connections bytwo hoses. A third hose, the leak

Vibratory pile driving is based on the principle of reducing the cohesion of soils through

vibration, effectively fluidizing the soil. When the soil is in this condition, installing the pilingrequires only little force. The dead weight of the piling and the applied force are enough to

drive the piling to the required depth quickly, quietly and efficiently. The same applies when

extracting the piling. The required pulling force is minimized due to the reduced friction. The

link between the piling and the vibrator is the clamping device, which forms a firm connec-

tion and releases it again after driving.

Applications. Selection.

Mounting and operation.oil line, completes the simple hy-draulic connection. Integrated inthe vibrator is a control systemthat ensures that when the controllever in the excavator is swungout a clamp grips the pile firmlyand then holds the clamping forceconstant at the required level. Agovernor limits rpm to the maxi-mum allowed level – irrespectiveof the oil flow supplied by the ex-cavator – and thus ensures longervibrator life.

i lFor this, the vibrator is connected to the exca-vator stick with two additional hoses.

The patented control system on the variable-

moment vibrators allows a simple hydraulicconnection with three hoses and simplified“one-lever operation” from the excavator,similar to conventional vibrators.

The MS-1 HFB was developed specifically forinstalling plastic sheets and piles.

Its applications lie in the construction of wa-terfront structures and jetties. It can be usedto install wood and very small piles, soil nailsand reinforcement cages for cast-in-situ

piles.

The MS-1 HFB can be mounted on mini orcompact excavators upward of an installedrating of approx. 54 HP.

MÜLLER excavator-mounted vibrators.Products for special uses.

The variable-moment excavator-mounted vibrators MS-5 HFBV and MS-8 HFBV with resonance-

free starting and stopping are designed primarily for inner-city use and particularly vibration-sensitive projects. To adjust the eccentrics for resonance-free starting and stopping, a further

excavator function, “rotate grab”, is necessary in addition to “tilt stick”.

18 | 19 MÜLLER power packs and control system.Power supply: economical and ecological.

The energy supply to the vibrators is not only important from an economic point of view.

Increasingly, questions of ecological compatibility are coming to the fore, e.g. energyefficiency and pollution through noise and CO emissions.2

The hydraulic vibrators are powered by power packs, inwhich diesel engine-driven hydraulic pumps deliver a flowof pressurized oil to the hydraulic motors on the vibrator.

All power packs are silenced and are controlled by a speciallyadapted programmable controller and constantly monitoredduring operation.

The vibrator is operated via a cable remote control, or option-ally by radio remote control. The operating parameters of thevibrator can be monitored via an online connection. Should aproblem occur, our experts can analyze the operating parame-ters and provide immediate assistance by phone.

©Thanks to the patented “Dystafit ” system, necessary ground improvement and rehabili-

tation measures can now be assessed much more effectively. Load cycles are simulated©to predict the stability of ground susceptible to settling, sinking or shifting. Dystafit can

also be used to test the effects of increased speeds on train lines.

Thin diaphragm walls are an economical way of providing vertical sealing in hydraulic andfoundation engineering. This method is mainly used in dikes, dams, landfills and to contain

subsoil contamination.

To produce a thin diaphragm wall, a steel beam with a wider bottom end is driven into theground to be sealed using a MÜLLER vibrator. The steel beam is equipped with flushing orslurry pipes. In this way, the gap created and part of the surrounding soil is filled/mixed withslurry. A roughly 19.68 in deep flow trench in the narrow wall axis takes up excess slurry andcompensates for slurry losses.

By vibration driving the steel beam with an overlap, a narrow sealing element is created.Depending on the soil quality, wall depths of up to 98.4 ft are possible.
