MOVAX piling equipment is the optimum solution for a wide range of piling requirements and a variety of soil and site conditions ranging from the largest construction sites to landscaping jobs – also in the most demanding conditions when a high-degree of precision is required, in sensitive environments and when limited space or access is available.
Today there are more than 2500 MOVAX units delivered to more than 65 countries, on six continents, world wide.
Throughout the years MOVAX has gained a deep understanding and know-how of varying site and soil conditions ranging from the freezing cold of the arctic to the heat of the tropics - and of a wide range of applications from Rail, Road and Civil to Waterways & Piers, Utilities and Environmental & Energy.
Foundation of a railway track passing the Seinäjoki hippodrome had started to subside. To prevent the soft soil from extruding beneath the tracks a sheet pile wall was built on both sides of the tracks. Length of each wall was 500 meters. To build the walls solid from beneath every seventh pile driven was longer that the others (14 meters). Upper edges of the walls for one were tied together with iron pipes which were bored underneath the rails.
Sheet piles were brought to the site with a wagon along the tracks. Piling itself was conducted in two ways: from the side of the tracks when there was enough space and with a rail equipped excavator from the tracks where the space was limited. Movax-models used for the work were SP50E and SP60E.
