JX PILING RIG
Key features
One key consideration in the design was the overall mass of the rig. The JX-8 exerts a ground pressure of
only 82 (kN/m^2 which is further reduced once the hammer is in place and sitting on the pile - as the pile
takes the weight of the hammer. The rig then only guides the pile into the ground while the hammer is
driving. The JX track base is square for maximum stability. With a working radius of 3.1m, the mast can be
spotted anywhere around the base. Five degrees of mast rotation left or right helps iron out un-level
ground. The rig can self-erect its mast without the help of other plant. The JX also has two dedicated lift
winches, one to lift the hammer and the other to lift the pile with a maximum weight of 1.5t. Moreover,
hydraulic arms retain the bottom of the pile to guide it in place once the pile has been located into one of
the dedicated helmets under the hammer.
The hydraulic hammers driven by the base unit are from BSP’s DX range, designed to be versatile with a
low power consumption (40KW). It is estimated that over 250 linear metres of pile can be driven in one
shift using the JX rig. So whether it is more piles driven or piles driven in a shorter space of time, it can
adds up to a cost-effective solution. The hammers are also capable of driving steel tubes, ‘H’ piles, wooden
or precast concrete pile sections to an ultimate load-bearing capacity of over 1,000KN.
The hammer retains a dedicated helmet or cap suited to the pile to be driven, keeping the centre line of
the hammer in line with the pile. This ensures maximum transfer of energy from the hammer into the pile.
A plastic dolly is used in the helmet to stop metal-to-metal contact of the drop weight on to the helmet.
Shock absorbers built in to the hammer dampen the pile recoil, reducing vibration to the cage and
hydraulic cylinder assembly. This can reduce any downtime of the hammer or the rig.
Once a job is completed, the mast is lowered and the JX rig can be driven on to a low loader, without the
need to remove the hammer from the mast.
The collaboration between Colets and BSP has resulted in a purpose-built rig, ready for work in less than
six months.

Rig Specification
Ground pressures in operation & travelling over jobsite
Calculation of the peak ground pressure at any slewing position of the rig fulfils the requirements of
EN16228-1 Annex F by including the effects of wind and dynamic forces of slewing, traction, leader
adjustment and lifting of hammer and pile.
Alternative ground pressure data is provided, based upon the FPS Rig loading code for input into the
BRE platform design method. (BRE report 470 – Working Platform for Tracked Plant 2004). This
methodology does not however include provision for the effects of wind or dynamic forces as required
by EN16228
