How to pull sheet piling

ktl dig ยท 2012-11-02 04:28

Can anyone help with ideas on how to pill out sheet piling with a digger and no vibrator? they went in easy but the suction seems to have got to them. They are 12 metres long.

    Big sledge hammer and 2 young fellers. Lift all you fell safe with and hammer away. Been there done it. Pete

    could try sliding a small steel pipe attached to an air compressor in beside the piling... Never tried it, but it would break suction....

    air should work, never tried it, high pressure water does work, though it can make a mess if you use too high a flow

    dig down 24" below subgrade, light torch, cut off at ground level, backfill and compact to 98% of standard proctor... :lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:falldownlaugh:falldownlaugh:falldownlaugh
