My Construction Photos > Earthmoving, aggregate construction: Large 5+ CY/CM Hendrix draining dragline bucket is operated by Liebherr HS 895 HD Litronic hydraulic open lattice boom 91,000 kg / 400,000 lb capacity crawler crane. A dragline bucket is controlled by three elements: The vertical wire rope above the bucket raises and lowers the bucket either with or independent of the boom raising/lowering. The chain from front of bucket is pulled in and let out by the wire rope operated by a front spindle. The short wire rope attached to the top-front of bucket allows the bucket to pitch front first into the excavation pit, then be pulled upward at end of loading to capture the load. The basic operation is to pull in a load, then release the bucket to swing forward and be lowered to capture the next load. CONEXPO, Las Vegas, Nevada, March 15-19, 2005.
My Construction Photos > Earthmoving construction: Crawler mounted hydraulic backhoe reaches to excavate earth for basement. Laborer operates vibratory soil compaction machine in area recently excavated, beyond backhoe. In right background, soil is supported by timber breastboards. Breastboards are supported by structural steel H shape soldier beams, which were themselves driven as piles deeply into the soil, below bottom of basement. Cardiovascular Center, University of Michigan Hospital, Ann Arbor, 2004.
My Construction Photos > Soil, earth construction: Caterpillar D4G LP dozer spreads soil in bottom of excavation. Caterpillar 345BL hydraulic excavator excavates soil from same excavation. Apparently, the bucket of the excavator has been lowered to rooof of dozer, to consternation of dozer operator. East Ann Arbor Clinic, University of Michigan Health System, Ann Arbor, Michigan 2005
My Construction Photos > Earthmoving, aggregate construction: Liebherr HS 895 HD Litronic hydraulic open lattice boom 91,000 kg / 400,000 lb capacity crawler crane operating as dragline with large 5+ CY/CM Hendrix draining dragline bucket. Maximum boom for dragline is 55 m / 180 ft, with 55,000 kg / 121,500 lb counterweight. CONEXPO, Las Vegas, Nevada, March 15-19, 2005.
