Vertical Configuration Aft Batter Below Grade Side Batter Forward Reach Raised Leads Above Grade Forward Batter

INTRODUCTION Located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, Berminghammer Foundation Equipment is a manufacturer of advanced foundation equipment with over 50 years of experience. The company is represented in more than 40 countries world wide, maintains an extensive Research and Development team and has earned a reputation for finding the most practical solutions to the most challenging projects. The Vertical Travel Lead, referred to as "VTL" system, was first developed and patented by C.W. Berming-ham in thel960's. This lead system was developed in response to the fundamental limitations found in a...

Berminghammer Leads have been designed to increase the productivity of the pile driving operation. This is accomplished by minimizing the movement of the crane, and by decreasing the time spent placing the pile under the hammer and spotting of the pile. On a typical project, the actual productive driving time may be increased from an average of 50% of the work day to 75% or more. The daily cost of the Vertical Travel Leads is less than the daily cost of a four-man crew and swinging/ hanging lead. The VTL contractor will begin to save after nine months. An additional cost benefit will resulit...

Berminghammer employs a staff of licensed civil, geotechnical, and mechanical engineers as well as draftsmen, designers and technicians. These professionals provide the highest level of technical expertise in the design and engineering of Berminghammer lead systems. To supplement our years of experience the Berminghammer engineering staff use state-of-the-art design tools such as the latest versions of CAD software including 3-D modeling and finite-element analysis. Berminghammer engineers also make use of field instrumentation and laboratory experiments to refine and optimize the design of our...
