According to Bullivant, it is the first time that a fully battery-powered pile driving rig has been used in the UK. The rig was supplied to site with a 40kW portable outdoor charger, reducing the power requirement on site. The rig was trialled at a Morgan Sindall Construction site where 581 driven steel tubular piles are being installed to depths of 9.0m to 16.0m below ground level. Driven steel tubular piles were selected for their ability to penetrate the bedrock giving the project a solid foundation solution. The use of repurposed tubular steel from John Lawrie Tubulars is adding to the sustainability credentials of the operation.
