G M Piling recently took delivery of their latest acquisition - a new Llamada P140-TT.

The rig is fitted with a high specification PL3000/CFA system, complete with extras such as our proprietary 'True Torque' module.

This module is available as an option to our standard CFA instrumentation for any rig with user selectable gears or torque ranges. In addition to enabling the actual auger torque to be displayed (not to be confused with hydraulic motor pressure), the module provides the user with our proprietary 'Drilling Resistance' bolt-on.

Conceived, developed and implemented by N D Technology, 'Drilling Resistance' provides the user with unique data during the boring phase and is an invaluable tool for identifying rock horizons and changes in soil shear modulus.

We recently enjoyed a whistle-stop trip to Kenya providing advice and assistance to Civicon on a project to the north of Nairobi.

Pictured below is Civicon's Casagrande CFA26 complete with NDT PL3000/CFA instrumentation, about to commence installation of contract piles.
