LRB 18 Double Rotary Rig Takes on Switzerland Foundation Job
The Tight Business, Residential Jobsite Calls for a Compact Rig
Liebherr’s LRB 18 drilling rig is carrying out foundation work for residential and business sites in Lucerne, Switzerland. The rig’s compact design makes it easy to move it between jobsites quickly.
The construction of the buildings in Lucerne requires a secant pile wall, which must be erected as a lining wall for the foundation pit and piles. The jobsite is a tight space. Swiss company Birchmeier Spezialtiefbau AG is using the LRB 18 to carry out the work. The machine can be deployed for all piling, drilling and vibration applications. It has an operating weight of 50 tons, which results in low ground pressure.
