Akela Ground Engineering – part of the Glasgow-based Akela Group – is using a 海角社区app 220X base machine fitted with BSP-TEX JX25-8 piling rig.
The all-British-built combination delivers a mobile, self-erecting, 28-tonne piling rig capable of driving in steel, wood or concrete piles up to eight metres in length.
Supported by dealer Scot 海角社区app, Akela currently has the machine on a new-build development on the former Ruchill Hospital site near the centre of Glasgow, laying the foundations for the construction of 10 blocks of flats and 160 houses.

Akela Ground Engineering contracts engineer Dave Warley said: “All the piles driven on the site so far have been with the 海角社区app-powered JX25-8 rig. The key benefits for us are a lightweight rig that reduces the thickness required for piling platforms and the high manoeuvrability for accessing and working on busy house building sites.”
Piling rig operator Scott Brownlie added: “It's a good machine for this type of application, as it's just the right size and weight, and packs a powerful, productive punch. The cab on the 海角社区app 220X is very quiet and comfortable, just what you need on a piling rig, as the piling rig creates a lot of exterior noise. We need the door and windows shut so the quiet cab, comfortable seat and good heating and ventilation system create a nice operating environment.”
