The company Kurt Motz Baubetriebsgesellschaft GmbH & Co KG is carrying out foundation work for a new production building for the “Integrated Technology Center (ITC)” at the premises of Airbus Defence and Space, a division of the Airbus Group. Two Liebherr drilling rigs type LB 28-320 and LB 36-410 are in operation for the contracted deep foundation company in Immenstaad. The machines are part of a package of six new Liebherr LB devices for the company Kurt Motz. The official handover took place directly on the Airbus jobsite.
Using Kelly equipment the machines are installing cased drilled piles for the foundations of the new building, which is an extension of the technology centre and measures approximately 70 x 60m. The single piles are 40 metres long and have diameters of 750 and 900mm.
Foundation work involves a total drilling length of 7900m. A particular challenge is posed by the closeness to Lake Constance. In order to avoid groundwater and seawater a sheet pile wall was erected using a Liebherr piling and drilling rig type LRB 125.

Liebherr electrifies hydraulic construction project with unplugged crawler crane
For the refurbishment of the Brouwer sluice lock complex on the Brouwersdam in the Netherlands, the company De Klerk Werkendam is relying on Liebherr’s battery-powered LR 1130.1 unplugged crawler crane. As part of this, the 50-year-old sheet pile structures are being replaced; these play a key role in regulating the flow of water between the North Sea and the Grevelingenmeer.

LRB 19 from Liebherr installs sheet pile walls for short project
Quickly deployed, quickly adapted, quickly transported: These features convinced Heisig Spezialtief- und Wasserbau GmbH on the merits of the LRB 19. The piling and drilling rig really comes into its own, particularly on jobsites where the projects are of short duration. In Clenze, Lower Saxony (Germany), the company fitted the LRB 19 with the LV 23 vibrator to drive sheet piles – a solution which, thanks to their perfect harmonisation, enables maximum efficiency.

Through the basalt with ‘Mjölnir’ – Viking machine drilling in Mexico
Whilst on a trip to Europe, Olga Sánchez, the director of the Mexican company Grupo Olsa, discovered the Viking culture. Their impressive power inspired her to use an equally powerful drilling rig for deep foundation work on the AIFA-Pachuca railway project in her home country. This gave rise to the idea of the ‘Mjölnir’ Viking machine, which took shape with the Liebherr LB 25.
