“With the LRB 355 from Liebherr,
we have a modern, top-line machine at
our disposal. Thanks to its multifunctionality,
the quality of foundation work
is improved and, at the same time, we
are more flexible and can work more
efficiently,” said the project manager,
Markus Maehr, from Hilti & Jehle.
Piling and drilling rig with
outstanding features
The LRB has a robust undercarriage
as well as long crawlers that ensure a
higher level of stability. Thanks to the
parallel kinematics, the piling and
drilling rig has a large working radius.
A further advantage is the assembly of
all winches directly on the leader. On
the one hand, this enables a clear view
of the main winch from the operator’s
cab and, on the other hand, ensures
that the ropes do not move when the
leader is adjusted.
A particular highlight is the fuel efficiency
of the 600 kW V-12 diesel motor,
which runs at a reduced speed of 1,700
U/min. Moreover, using the Eco-Silent-
Mode the engine speed can be reduced
to a predefined level. This enables a
significant reduction in both the fuel

Tomography analysis with PDITomo
takes the examination many
steps further, allowing a better estimate
of the extent of irregularities or defects.
It combines arrival time data from the
scans of all pairs of tubes, analyzes the
data and displays it in various views.
Once CSL testing is complete
and data is processed, the transition
from CHA-W to PDI-Tomo is done
in one seamless step. PDI-Tomo has
been designed for fast data processing,
improving the productivity of
CHAMP-XV users. Program functions
are intuitive and many features are
automatic ( for example, PDI-Tomo
finds the depths where data suggests
that a detailed investigation of
integrity may be warranted). The professional
looking PDI-Tomo’s output is
highly customizable to fit the needs of
each user.
