Pilde Driving Conductor Tubes and Foundations

Besides placing and moving drilling rigs, pile driving conductor tubes is one of the core activities of Wagenborg Foxdrill. In 1984, Wagenborg Foxdrill introduced the IHC Hydrohammer for installing conductors offshore. A hydraulic hammer has many advantages over the diesel-powered hammers, including the control over the piling process.

These days our material is available from the Netherlands, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan.

Wagenborg Foxdrill uses a piling frame that was developed in-house for the onshore installation of conductors. This frame ensures that the tubes are piled in an optimum vertical position. Using this frame avoids the need for a drilling rig, and that means a considerable cost saving. Furthermore, using this frame means that piling is no longer part of the critical path.

 

The average time required to drive a conductor 60 metres deep is two working days.
