the rig from Schrobenhausen, Germany.
Its unique ability to work in both low
overhead and standard configuration
kept the BG 18 H on site until February
2016. ECA brought in an operator from
BAUER to assist with training, but all
on-site service and reconfiguration of
the BG 18 H was handled by its own
technicians in Aldan.
These Premium Line rigs offer some
additional benefits over BAUER’s Value
Line that were ideally suited for the
Crum Creek Viaduct project. The main
difference between the two is that the
Premium Line features a crowd cable
system with a winch as opposed to the
crowd cylinder system on the Value
Line. The Premium Line rigs, as a result,
deliver more crowd force. They also
comply with the latest Tier 4 emission
standards, and are heavier machines
with greater hydraulic output.
Foundation work sets the pace

viaduct beneath the original structure
PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
