Marine/river construction: Construction barge carries Liebherr crawler mounted lattice boom, cable operated crane and ABI Mobilram drill and vibratory/ impact/ pressing pile driving rig. Crane lifts steel sheet piles that lay in front of it and feeds them to the pile driving rig. Danube River in Hungary west of Budapest, August 2006.
Marine/river construction: Construction barge carries Liebherr crawler mounted lattice boom, cable operated crane and ABI Mobilram pile drilling and vibratory/ impacting/ pressing rig. Barge also carries Sections of steel sheet piling to be driven to complete the cofferdam for bridge pier. Barge is controlled by construction tug. Danube River in Hungary west of Budapest, August 2006.
Pile construction: Vibratory pile driver drives rolled steel interlocking sheet piles to support embankment during construction. Pile driver is cable supported by Terex American HC80  open web steel boom tracked crane. The telescoping boom personnel lift on this side of crane is a JLG Sky Power 600S lift, used by the crew to work at top of piles.  Huron Parkway South of Huron River, Ann Arbor, MI.
Construction pile driving: Vulcan 505 25,000 ft-lb 60 inch stroke single-acting air-driven air/steam hammer drives structural steel H piles into the ground. Piles are supported and guided by swinging leads which are supported by Manitowoc 2900WC crawler mounted open web boom cable operated crane. Delonis Shelter, Ann Arbor, 2003.
Construction pile driving: ICE 812 Vibro-Hammer vibratory pile driver/extractor drives sheet piles to form cofferdam at Huron River. Sheet pile sections are connected by interlocking edges, which allow vertical slippage during sheet pile driving. (See inset detail of circled connection in photo.) Pile driver is supported by crawler mounted cable driven open web boom crane. Worker inside cofferdam is cutting off the top of the sheet pile to the right with an acetylene torch.  Broadway Bridge, Ann Arbor, 2003.
Bridge construction, concrete/foundation construction: Two transportable compartment barges provide working platform for heavy equipment constructing foundation and structure for concrete bridge. Far barge supports Genie hydraulic telescoping boom man lift/ work platform. Near barge supports Terex HC80 track based open web truss boom cable crane. Barges are anchored by piles driven shallow distance into river bed. Dixboro Road Bridge over Huron River, Ann Arbor, Michigan 2005.conc

Construction pile driving: Crew in foreground is prying apart steel sheet pile members, to load onto crane line. Crane is working with two pile drivers to align new sheet pile section to drive interlocked with adjacent sheet pile in place. Depot Street, Ann Arbor, 2004.
Construction pile driving: Vulcan 505 25,000 ft-lb 60 inch stroke single-acting air-driven air/steam hammer drives structural steel H pile into the ground. The ram, marked "505", is attached to the piston of the cylinder at the top of the figure. On each cycle, the cylinder raises the piston and ram to the top of the cylinder with compressed air received through the vertical compressed air hose to the left of ram. When the piston reaches the top of the cylinder (left figure), the piston and ram are released and drops/falls by gravity to impact the top of the pile (right figure), through a pile cap that protects the top of the H pile below it. Piles and hammer are supported and guided by swinging leads, which are supported by the crane boom and cable. Delonis Shelter, Ann Arbor, 2003.
