An apparatus and a method for attenuating water pressure pulses generated during sea piling when a percussion mechanism is used, including the stage of driving at least one pile into an earth by a percussion mechanism, while along at least a part of its axial extension, the pile is surrounded by water and at least partly by a tubular outer sleeve; and at least one gas-filled space is provided between the inner periphery of the outer sleeve and the outer periphery of the pile. The apparatus includes mechanisms for providing the gas-filled space.

Provided are a pile press-in device and a pile press-in method that allow an efficient construction even when electrically powered devices and hydraulic devices coexist in order to give drive members a driving force. A pile press-in device (1) comprises a chuck (5) for gripping and rotating a pile (4) in order to press the pile (4) into a ground while rotating the pile (4). The pile press-in device (1) causes electric motors (6) corresponding to the electrically powered device of the invention to give the chuck (5) a driving force for the rotation. The chuck (5) is moved up and down by lift cylinders (7) which are hydraulically powered hydraulic devices. An integrated control board (50) controls the electric motors (6) and the lift cylinders (7) in an interlocked manner.

The present disclosure relates to a vibro-hammer 1 connected to heavy construction equipment, and more particularly, a vibro-hammer 1 having a side grip in which vibrations are prevented from being transmitted to a connected heavy equipment machine to avoid a problem such as a change in a perforation position, the vibro-hammer 1 is firmly connected to a perforated pile to transmit vibrations generated in a gear box to the perforated pile through the side grip and improve workability, arms are gear-coupled to each other to prevent the arms and the side grip from being released from each other due to frequent vibrations, a pair of arms and the side grip can come into close contact with the perforated pile or separated from the performed pile by a single cylinder, the side grip can be easily replaced according a shape of the perforated pile, and applicability and workability is improved.

The invention relates to a system (1) for use with a crane (4) on a surface vessel (3), comprising a crane tool (15) attached or attachable to a hoisting cable (5) of the crane (4) and one or more adaptors (16) attached or attachable to one or more tools (11-14, 25) for carrying out operations or to one or more components (2, 10), the crane tool (15) comprising a connector (17) and at least one of the adaptors (16) comprising a connector-counterpart (18).

A pile driving system comprises a lifting element attached or attachable to a hoisting cable of a crane, a pile driver which is mounted to the lifting element and movable with respect to the lifting element in a pile driving direction and a brake for braking a movement of the pile driver with respect to the lifting element. The brake comprises cooperating sliding members at the lifting element and the pile driver, which sliding members are pressed against each other in a direction extending transversely to their mutual sliding direction.

Machine suitable for driving posts into the ground, in particular for a vineyard or orchard trellising structure, at predefined locations, with centimetric precision, the machine comprising: an electronic control unit, a GPS sensor, a driving column mounted on a vehicle chassis, via an articulated positioning adjustment system, the column comprising a pole and a slide mounted so as to be able to slide substantially vertically, a driving bell mounted on the slide, a post guiding device, which comprises a gripper mounted on the slide and a guide shoe mounted at the base of the pole, the guide shoe being able to move between a working position and a retracted position, the articulated positioning adjustment system allowing the driving bell and the guiding device to be positioned directly above one of the predefined locations and to drive the post in vertically there.
