The BAUER Maschinen Group

BAUER MASCHINEN4

Specialist foun-dation engineer-ing machinery

Specialist foundation engineering equipmentfrom the BAUER Maschinen Group is theglobal benchmark in the industry. The originsof the Group's machinery design and manu-facturing operations extend back to in the1960s, when there was a lack of suitable an-chor drilling and pile driving equipment on themarket to support Bauer's construction activ-ities. As a result, Bauer built the first anchordrilling rig to its own specification, the UBW.Then in 1976 came the first rotary drilling rig,the BG 7. Both rigs represented major innova-tions, driving forward the application of therespective construction methods significantly.Having originally intended the machines solelyfor in-house use, in the mid-1980s Bauer beganselling them on the open market. The reasonsfor this were, firstly, that major construction com -panies were asking for Bauer equipment and,secondly, the high development cost could onlybe amortized by producing high volumes. Bauerutilized the opportunities offered by the market.From the early 1990s Bauer – together withits subsidiaries – began adding more machinesto its range, and today is able to offer the fullscope of equipment needed by specialistfoundation engineering contractors. Its engi-neers also develop new construction process-es and methods. Its know-how in all fields de-livers synergy effects which benefit customers.Specialization by centres of competence, suchas small-diameter drilling rigs from Klemm,keeps each product division at the top of itsglobal field. BAUER Maschinen GmbH hasbeen operating on the market as an independ-ent entity within the BAUER Group since 2001;the subsidiaries of the BAUER MaschinenGroup have their own specific profiles.

Specialist foundation engineering machinery from Bauer has been a byword for top performance andquality and for continuous innovation since the late 1960s. BAUER Maschinen GmbH, which devel-ops and manufactures rotary drilling rigs, diaphragm wall rigs, ground improvement equipment andall related tools, has been operating on the market as an independent entity within the BAUERGroup since 2001. The other companies in the BAUER Maschinen Group are subsidiaries of BAUERMaschinen GmbH. Above and beyond the machine itself, Bauer Maschinen offers complete methodsolutions for specialist foundation engineering applications. The range also includes deep drilling rigs.

Ideas for progress

BAUER MASCHINEN 11

C reativity, long-standing andclosely focused practicalityare key to the successful

development of specialist foundationengineering equipment. That is some-thing in which Bauer has a long tradi-tion. For fifty years, its engineers have been gathering valuable experi-ence and ideas on a huge number ofconstruction sites, and utilizing thatknow-how to develop equipment andtechniques which have continually ad-vanced the specialist foundation engi-neering field.In addition to state-of-the-art designmethods and expert knowledge of ap-plicable techniques in a wide variety ofgeological formations, the companyhas also devised its own in-house cal-culation methods. All of this forms a

sound foundation for the successfulimplementation of site-specific re-quirements.The company's outstanding hydraulicsknow-how, in conjunction with opti-mized control programs, makes Bauerequipment a highly efficient and reli-able partner on the world's construc-tion sites. Tried-and-tested sensortechnology and state-of-the-art dataanalysis and transfer systems alsohelp to provide monitoring and documentation of the construction process at all times.

Based on their extensive know-how inconstruction engineering technologyand machinery applications, Bauer engineers also develop new construc-tion techniques. The company has enjoyed major success with its soil

mixing and displacement pile drivingtechniques in particular. Numerouspatents and innovation awards demonstrate the innovative strengthof Bauer's development and designengineers.

Well-founded know-how

head systems, displacement piles aswell as jet-drilling processes furtherenhance the versatility of the BauerBG equipment series. For drilling atdeeper levels and in harder ground,casing oscillators can be mounted inmodular fashion as required.

I n the decades since the construc-tion of the first BG 7 rig in 1976,Bauer engineers have been the key

driving force in the advancement of rotary drilling rigs. Bauer inventionssuch as the lockable kelly bar, the feedcylinder for variable drive and torsion-resistant mast constructions have ena-bled foundation piles to be driven downto depths of one hundred metres andin diameters of up to three metres,even in hard rock. Based on continu-ous efforts to reduce overall weightwhile increasing torque, the efficiencyof Bauer rotary drilling rigs has been further improved.Various drilling methods for kelly bars,continuous-flight augers, twin rotary

T he grab technique has been inuse for the construction of wallsin soil since the 1960s. Initially

the equipment was purely mechanical-ly driven. In subsequent years, the useof hydraulics has significantly impro-

ved the performance capability anduser-friendliness of this technique.Bauer's grab technique combines ro-bust design with high closure forcesand precision measurement with awide variety of control mechanisms. A rotating device speeds up excava-tion rate and improves verticality additionally. This makes the diaphragmwall grab even more flexible, as wellas making it suitable for deep walls indense ground.

Grabbing the advantage

in China, the tunnel cutter was usedto construct 80 metre deep walls froma five metre high, six metre wide tun-nel. The Bauer hard-rock cutter wasdeployed to seal the moraine embed-ded in the permafrost for the Diavik diamond mine inside the Arctic Circlein Canada. Bauer cutters enabledshafts for liquid gas tanks in Ichong,Korea, to be constructed as self-sup-porting structures, in 60 metre diame-ter, involving an excavation depth of55 metres.On the Cairo underground project, aBauer BC 40 cutter mounted on theMC 128 base carrier was deployed(top left).

W hen Bauer developed thefirst trench cutter in 1984,the boundaries of diaphragm

wall technology were pushed back sig-nificantly.Large-scale projects on several conti-nents demonstrate the versatility ofthis technology: at the Péribonka Damin Canada, the Bauer BC 50 is cuttingsealing walls down to a depth of 130metres in hard rock. At the Yehle Dam

S ystem supplier for special foun-dation jobs – for BAUER it has always meant to be not only

competent in special foundation equip-ment itself, but also to be a supplierfor the required base machines. Thisphilosophy has consequently conti-nued in the development of the MC-foundation crane range.These machines for the first time fulfilall the requirements for a crane devel-oped for highly demanding specialistfoundation engineering applications. Inthe 55 to 200 tonne size classes, MCusers are provided with an extremelywide range of options, extending fromhighly specialized applications, includ-ing as base carriers for Bauer trenchcutters, through to conventional useas a duty-cycle crane with free-fallwinches or as lifting crane. The out-standing quality and performance attributes of the MC series are found-ed on the company's long-standing experience in the development of specialist machinery.

The demand for energy – in theform of oil, gas or geothermal en-ergy – is sure to remain a major

concern to global business and indus-try in future, especially in view of ongoing population trends. To meetthose challenges, Bauer Maschinen offers deep drilling rigs with hook loadcapacities up to 450 tonnes, enablingvertical and directional drilling down todepths of more than 7,000 metres.Beside the Bauer standard advantageslike enhanced rig availability, redundan-cy of key systems, increased efficien-

cy and performance, the deep drillingunits of the TBA series impress byautomated pipe handling systems andthe safe and easy transport and rig-upoperation.The compact footprints of the com-plete units – compared to convention-al rigs of corresponding capacities –reduce enormously the costs for wellsite preparation and the environmentalimpact.Customized walking systems and skid-ding systems allow highest flexibilityin on-site rig moves with the equip-ment fully rigged-up.Beside deep drilling units BauerMaschinen also offers componentslike pipe handling systems, top drives,mud pumps, mud handling systemsand mobile equipment to install sur-face pipes and conductor pipes.Bauer Maschinen offers solutions inthe sector of deep drilling units tailor-made to the client’s requirements.

Water and other treasures

Stable and mobile

T elescopic undercarriages havebeen integral to the core compe-tency of Bauer Maschinen for

many years. The essential stability re-quired by specialist foundation engi-neering equipment demands a widetrack; the telescopic design then en-ables compact dimensions for trans-portation.

The TracMec company, based in Imola, Northern Italy, forty kilo -metres from Bologna, manufac-tures excavator undercarriages forsmall and medium-sized specialistfoundation engineering equipment, aswell as special structures for mobilecrushing plants, cranes and machin-ery used in the timber industry.

SCHACHTBAU NORDHAUSENGmbH has a strong structuralsteel engineering business within

the BAUER Group, and since the 1990shas been supplying key components to

Bauer's machinery manufacturing oper-ations. Schachtbau Nordhausen makesmasts, uppercarriages and large-formatundercarriage units.

F ambo, a small Swedish company,has high-level know-how in thefield of low-frequency hydraulic

hammers. Attached to a leader, whenskilfully handled a hydraulic hammer isa cost-effective alternative to other pil-ing systems, and is also a low-emis-sion solution.

D rilling has always been a coreelement of Bauer's traditionalspecialist foundation engi-

neering know-how. With its RTG,Pileco and Fambo subsidiaries, pilingis now also a key area of focus. Low-frequency equipment now enablespiles to be driven into the ground bypercussion.The Pileco corporation, based inHouston, Texas, has been part ofBauer since 2005, and is enjoying

major success with its diesel-poweredhammers and leader systems in theoil industry in particular. The diesel-powered hammers can be guided by asuspended leader system on a craneor cable excavator, or by an add-onsystem mounted on a mast. In manycases low-frequency piling is a simple,cost-effective solution.

Guaranteed self-monitoring

BAUER MASCHINEN 27

B auer applies stringent qualitycontrol in all areas of its manu-facturing. From incoming materi-

als through to handover of the finishedrig, all aspects are monitored all theway through the process. The equip-ment and components manufacturedoutside Germany are subject to thesame quality standards.Prior to shipping, every rig is subject-ed to a series of tests. Spread of char-acteristic properties is limited by opti-

mum tuning and by means of meas-urements. Checks carried out – basedon the example of a drilling rig – in-clude the torque, the rotary head, theservice brake and swing brake, thecarriage traction, the crowd force and the winch pulling power. The hy-draulics are set up with the aid of automated protocols. The motor andpump parameters are also carefullychecked and precisely configured.Finally the centre of gravity and the

unit and overall weights are checked.Each rig is tested to ensure it is stablewhen fitted out with the equipment ordered for use on it. Bauer also oper-ates a 55 metre deep test shaft to ver-ify the smooth running of its telescop-ic kelly bars.The object of the testing is to achieveoptimum interaction between all theelements, so that the rig can attain itsmaximum efficiency.

Quality system

We are always on hand!

BAUER MASCHINEN28

Reliable customer service is a keyquality characteristic. Problemscan occur at any time under site

operating conditions, and to ensurethe rig is back in operation as quicklyas possible, spares need to be deliv-ered within a matter of days or evenhours, depending on distance. A hot-line is permanently available. Rapid-response assistance from experienced,highly trained and qualified personnelis something we offer as a matter ofcourse, alongside an uncomplicated,collaborative approach to claims han-dling.To this end, we operate a distributednetwork of spares and consumablesstores at various locations. Our distrib-uted network of production sitesmeans in many regions of the worldwe can rapidly deploy service stafffrom close at hand, who also speakthe local language. We can carry outroutine servicing, maintenance and inspection of machinery as required.

C onstruction machines are ex-pensive items of equipmentwhich represent major capital

investments for contractors. Conse -quently, it is vital that they are handledprofessionally and with the utmostcare. Bauer trains operators, as wellas providing routine refresher courses.A separate business unit, BAUERTraining Center GmbH, has been es-tablished to handle the Group’s train-ing activities. The BTC is certified asan accredited professional training

facility, enabling it also to offer trainingfor the wider labour market. Well-equipped seminar rooms are availablefor training purposes at the variousBauer locations.Similarly to the long-established sys-tem of permits for forklift truck drivers,a mandatory operator’s permit fordrilling rigs will soon be introduced in Germany. The tests required to ac-quire the permit will be organized byGermany’s employers’ liability insur-ance associations (Berufsgenossen -schaften).Not least with a view to the upcomingmandatory operator’s permit, a train-ing circuit for construction equipmenthas been created at the Bauer Maschi -nen plant in Aresing, enabling operatorsto undergo practical training. The 6,000square metre site features a numberof challenging exercises. Difficult taskscan be practised on a variety of differ-ent machines, such as dealing withthe sensitive centre of gravity posi-tioning of drilling rigs, learning how tosafely remove a rig from a low-loader,how to assemble a rig, and how tohandle critical situations which canoccur on-site.
