the three-story residential tower on the client’s parental property dismantling the stately farmhouse that once stood there to create a contemporary ensemble the new building combines a wooden cube with a massive concrete base this arrangement provides the ground floor with overwhelming panoramic views of the surroundings in contrast to the panoramic view on the ground floor the views on the upper floors are targeted through windows precisely arranged into the façade the unusual pattern of the horizontally-layered wooden beams of the exterior softly contrasts the traditional surroundings built in reinforced concrete and topped with an organically-shaped roof the adjacent patio and carport act as a link to the neighboring building the timber structure got built entirely from wood of the client’s private property walls and ceilings are made of 24 cm thick and elm for furniture and the outdoor seating area of the patio the interior also features white clay plastered ceilings and black steel on the bookshelves in the staircase with ecological and economic sustainability in mind firm architekten ensured all building materials and technology got ordered and produced from a radius of max as well as all the craftsmen that worked on the project ‘the clients’ great-grandparents built the neighboring farmhouse from their own wood and then reforested the forests,’ explains the studio ‘the great-granddaughter was able to build her own home now from this wood the forests have been reforested with 750 young trees for future generations.’ name: haus im obstgarten – house in

drilling rig bores piles to a depth of 74 m A senior construction industry figure recently said – and not for the first time – “there are only so many ways to dig a hole” I suspect there are a few drilling experts who would disagree with that the advance of the mechanical technology being utilised in modern drilling rigs is exponentially increasing the options for digging holes as the next few pages will hopefully illustrate a new Suez Canal project will see a second canal built The aim is to allow for the passage of super tankers and huge merchant ships The project also involves the construction of six road and rail tunnels plus the development of five ports in Port Said The Egyptian Army Corps of Engineers is undertaking some of the construction work and is carrying out a significant amount of drilling to carry foundation piles A Liebherr LRB 355 installing sheet piles in the Austrian town of Frastanz The Army chose continuous flight auger (CFA) piling the advantage being there is never an open or unsupported pile bore A number of Soilmec drill rigs are being used on the project due to the fact that its technology has been designed for bored piles and CFA but it can also be easily converted to perform cased secant piles a technique using two separate rotary heads the top driving the CFA auger and the lower head driving the casing as the accuracy of the piles could be significantly increased The new mast and new rotary on the Soilmec rig ensures a healthy weight-to-performance ratio and the H-cab has been designed to offer the operator comfort along with control and monitoring over the rig and technological parameters The Egyptian Army is using Soilmec’s SR-125 HIT rig on the new Suez Canal project The turret has been redesigned to cut noise levels and At the Port Said job site the SR-125 HIT has been used to perform the bored piles of 1,200 mm diameter to a depth of 74m The piles were drilled in bentonite through the use of a bucket with soil teeth and with the first 12m cased directly with the rotary head a company specialising in the production of paper and packaging as well as carrying out significant modifications to its existing facilities Hilti & Jehle was asked to carry out deep foundation work at the site and sheet piling work had to be carried out on a 7,500m2 area Bauer says its BG 46 is currently the most powerful rotary drilling rig on the market The company utilised an LRB 355 piling and drilling rig from Liebherr to install U profile sheet piles with lengths of between 11m and 12m Benefits of the LRB for the projects included its strong undercarriage and long crawlers for additional stability The drill rig features parallel kinematics – a mechanism that allows the head to move on a number of different axes – giving the drill a large working radius Another advantage is the assembly of all winches directly on the leader This enables a clear view of the main winch from the operator’s cab and also ensures that the ropes do not move when the leader is adjusted has its ValueLine and PremiumLine range of drilling rigs both optimised for very different applications The ValueLine rigs are designed for Kelly drilling while the versatile PremiumLine rigs can be tailored to a number of specialist foundation engineering applications a PremiumLine rig that was first presented at last year’s Bauma exhibition in Munich This large diameter rotary drilling rig is equipped with a KDK 550 S rotary head which provides a maximum torque of 553 kNm it is possible to apply a torque of 700 kNm to the drill casing using a mechanically mounted torque multiplier The BG46’s cabin offers operators plenty of comfort as well as cutting-edge technology the rig has a capability to install casing deeper and overcome unexpected geotechnical conditions the machine has a flexible mast and a folding auxiliary boom which allows the auxiliary winch to be used in all single pass applications without any restrictions The optional single-layer piggyback winch allows the complete pulling force of 450 kN to be used in any working situation without reduction meaning that a longer rope service life can be achieved Because of the highly powered base unit of the rig and the dual motor concept of the winch the winch has a lifting speed of 50 m per minute For Kelly drilling – and depending on the configuration of the drill rig – drilling diameters up to 3,700 mm can be achieved the BG 46 can achieve a drilling depth up to 36 m with a maximum drilling diameter of 1,200 mm Atlas Copco introduced an updated version of the surface drill rig FlexiROC T30 R The features of this ‘Construction Edition’ drill rig – namely a silence kit bag handling system and water mist option – make it particular useful for companies undertaking urban construction applications Atlas Copco says the FlexiROC T30 R Construction Edition is the only drill rig in the world that combines all these options and features Uppländska Berg was the first company to take delivery of the drill rig (two during a recent visit to Atlas Copco’s Surface and Exploration Drilling division in Örebro members of staff were able to familiarise themselves with the drill rig and tour the facilities The silence kit is said to reduce noise levels by as much as 10 dB a significant benefit when working in urban development high-performance dust collection system (DCT) features an intelligent cleaning system that promises to secure suction capacity in all conditions The system can also be equipped with a bag handling system that will further reduce dust levels while the water mist option prevents dust from escaping into the air by binding it to water Horizontal direct drilling is one of the most common methods for laying pipelines underground with little or no impact on the environment the HDD rig performs a pilot bore from the launch point toward the reception point The rotating drill rods are precisely guided along the desired alignment by a surveying system located directly behind the drill bit The pilot bore is followed in a second step by reaming the pilot drill bit is removed from the drill rods and replaced by a reamer Reaming is usually performed in several passes until the final borehole diameter is achieved – which is about 30 to 50% larger than the actual pipeline diameter the pipeline is installed by connecting the prefabricated pipeline to the drill rods the pipeline attached behind the reamer and a swivel joint is pulled back to the entry point by the HDD Rig until it reaches its final position Features on Atlas Copco’s FlexiROC T30 R Construction Edition include reduced noise and dust Herrenknecht introduced a range of HDD downhole tools to the market last year promising significant savings in time and money on drilling applications The tools are designed to increase the efficiency of the boring process in a number of ways The downhole jet pump initially cleans the borehole and removes the cuttings directly inside the drill string – a completely new method of soil conveyance in HDD it significantly reduces the risk of frac-outs (where drilling mud is released through fractured bedrock) by being installed directly behind the full face hole opener (FFHO) for excavation diameters of 762mm to 1829mm enables the contractor to drill and realise the enlargement from pilot bore to final diameter in a single step – in soft ground as well as in hard rock in particular with longer drilling distances also reduces the risk of frac-outs significantly by gradually increasing the volume flow in the borehole less drilling fluid is required at the drill bit A clean pilot borehole without major deposits is the result Herrenknecht’s new downhole jet pump was recently tested by contractor BAB Rörtryckning Herrenknecht’s HDD drilling rig operates with a full face hole opener and jet pump in unison A Herrenknecht HK150C HDD rig was used to drill under a harbour channel through hard limestone with sections of flint The contractor needed a very clean borehole with only a small annulus between the bored diameter and the 1,016mm HDPE pipeline The jet pump discharged cuttings of up to 50mm in length with larger cuttings having been crushed into smaller pieces by the pump or pushed into softer sections of the borehole the test demonstrated the downhole jet pump opens up new possibilities for the hole cleaning process in HDD Ditch Witch has introduced the JT10 HDD rig The machine incorporates advanced features found on larger units while remaining the most compact drill in its class Ditch Witch says the JT10 is the most powerful drill in its class With a combination of 44kN of pullback force and a standard 60 lpm mud pump it promises advanced power and better mudflow allowing operators to efficiently complete larger-diameter reams on smaller jobs Ditch Witch senior product manager for horizontal directional drills “Today’s operators are facing more challenging environments and the JT10 helps combat those challenges The innovative design and boosted power help operators stay productive and increase uptime on the job An illustration of Herrenknecht’s hole opener operating with the downhole jet pump directly behind providing additional fluid during short bores and easy cleanup while on the job And with an onboard drill-pipe capacity of almost 98m and quicker cycle times than its predecessor operators can install more pipe in the ground and faster Ditch Witch says its JT10 drill rig is the most compact in its class looking to break into the North American market has launched new versions of its rock drills It is currently promoting one of its rock drills for use in soil nail drilling – in which closely-spaced grouted steel bars are installed into a slope or excavation to reinforce and strengthen existing ground as construction proceeds from the top down The equipment in question is the DF540L-2M-BLT rock drill which has the highest torque motors and integrated grout swivel These features make for the fastest possible hollow-bar installation method The DF540L-2M-BLT drifter has the percussion of a high-frequency rock drill but the torque of larger rock drills for 30mm The drill also has a new hydraulic valve system for high-energy efficiency Doofor says its DF530X hydraulic rock drill can drill 3m-deep holes in a single pass The economics of mounting the Doofor rock drill on a 11-tonne excavator or larger potentially offering a quicker return on investment Park Industries of Minnesota is using the Doofor DF530X hydraulic rock drill as a key component in its Raptor quarry drill system the Raptor can drill 3m-deep holes in a single pass and the camera alignment system allows the drill to be set and levelled on any surface within 20 degrees of level The DF530X can drill up to 45mm diameter holes in hard rock and offers high penetration speeds while preserving straightness which is important in dimensional stone drilling Art is often therapy for regenerating lives torn by tragedy or disability Textiles created by Bosnian refugees is a moving example of this age-old tradition is on view at the New York School of Interior Design Sept 18 and at the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles from mid-November to the end of the year tapestries and quilts by hand from designs created by professionals with prices ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 each "Susret" is the Serbo-Croatian word meaning to encounter The workshop's goal is to build an art textile manufacturing business that can support the women once they return to Bosnia despite everything that has happened to them but they have to have a means of support in order to do so," according to Gerlinde Manz-Christ The Austrian Consulate is a co-sponsor of the exhibition and the Austrian government subsidizes the nonprofit Susret refugee center began counseling Bosnian refugees at the center whose work history ranged from shepherd to university professor and any form of craft and artisanry occupies and focuses the mind," according to Wuerbel Bosnia is a traditional center of carpet weaving and several of the women were accomplished in needlework so Wuerbel encouraged the women to work with textiles The needleworkers and two volunteer textile artists trained the other women Now they regularly consult with professionals at the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna and Stuttgart the women knitted garments and small crafts and sold them at local markets "People bought the first items out of charity," Wuerbel said a textile designer who teaches at the Vienna academy suggested that the women execute modern designs created by professionals More than 140 artists from 22 nations have contributed patterns a teacher at the New York School of Interior Design although they also have a functional use." Each design is limited to six finished items and sets the parameters for the fiber and working method Most are bold abstracts modernist in feeling rather than folkloric expressions of the Serbo-Croatian heritage Wuerbel says the contemporary designs appeal to a larger market They also symbolize a new beginning since the project has given the women a sense of pride and accomplishment Susret's agreement with the Austrian government runs through 1998 It subsidizes up to 15 refugees each year as members of the workshop the women can get Austrian work permits to live and work on their own "We try to find regular jobs for those who leave," Wuerbel says "The first group of 13 women all are now self-sustaining." they hope to continue the workshop as a business But that's contingent on gaining a market for their products The exhibit is on view Monday-Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m Bosnian refugees work as skilled artisans at the Susret Workshop in Frastanz Shows and sale of contemporary design rugs tapestries and quilts made by the women are scheduled for exhibitions in the United States.
