Liebherr Piling, Rotary Rigs Put to the Test in Austria
Drilling Rigs Encounter Challenging Geology
Hilti & Jehle GmbH, an Austrian construction company, is utilizing Liebherr equipment for deep foundations projects. A LB 44 rotary drilling rig is helping with the construction of a factory building in the city of Dornbirn. At the end of 2015, Liebherr’s LRB 355 rig celebrated its debut on one of Hilti & Jehle’s jobsites.
The LB 44 is Liebherr’s largest rotary drilling rig and Hilti & Jehle is using it to insert pile foundations for a new production building measuring 203-by-130 meters. The building project is for Julius Blum GmbH, a company that manufactures functional furniture fittings.
