Liebherr Rig, Crane Fleet Takes on Kuala Lumpur Piling Job
Foundation Project Scheduled for July 2018 Completion
A new Liebherr LB 44-510 rotary drilling rig, Liebherr’s largest rotary drilling rig, the LB 44-510, is going to work on a pile boring job in Kuala Lumpur. The Sentral Suites residential development is considered a landmark project in the KL Sentral district, likely the last major residential development in the area.
The LB 44-510 isn’t the only Liebherr machine in use. Malaysian foundations and geotechnical specialist Aneka Jaringan Sdn Bhd is also using a new Liebherr LB 36 rig, the second largest machine in the range. In addition, two duty cycle crawler cranes, an HS 8100 HD and an HS 855 HD, are being used for slurry wall trenching. The crawler cranes are being used to excavate 600 meters of slurry wall that surrounds part of the site, with the two rotary drilling rigs boring the holes for 366 piles.
