Скачать или смотреть Green Machine dock construction technique: fiberglass pilings & composite decking

Green Heron Docks Inc. builds docks with the Green Machine, a dock building machine that rides on dock as it builds the dock. The dock that it builds is the SunDock Foundation, a reinforced open frame structure. Decking can be installed or the dock can be left open as a track for the Dockrider
The Green Machine has an axle that is mounted underneath for moving down the highway. It has four long screw-jacks that lift the machine to the proper height. As the machine builds the dock, the transporter moves all the crew and materials down the dock. The pilemonkey attaches to the piling before it is raised. It engages the leads and centers the top of the piling under the hammer. The piling is driven at an angle with the 600lb drop hammer until half the piling is underground and a 3,000lb bearing capacity is met. The pile caps are placed and the pilings are notched to accept the stringers. The stringers and track boards are installed to finish that section of the dock and the machine moves out to build the next 10ft section and the process is repeated.
