Continuing growth, expansion internationally and the increasing use of its pile croppers on major infrastructure and housing projects in Scotland led to National Pile Croppers to exhibit for the first time at Scotplant. The National Pile Cropper team enjoyed a warm reception at the Edinburgh show, exhibiting some of the company\u2019s pile cropping solutions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Held on the 22 and 23 April 2022 at the Royal Highland Centre, Edinburgh, over 5,000 high quality trade visitors enjoyed one the most successful Scotplant\u2019s in recent years. The show, which has grown from strength to strength, attracted a host of exhibitors, including for the first time ever, National Pile Croppers. The Midlands based company took advantage of the exhibition to showcase leading pile cropping solutions from its extensive range.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision to attend Scotplant was based on the increasingly warm reception our pile cropping solutions have received in Scotland and the UK as a whole. Given that Scotplant is such a well targeted show, with its visitor base being high quality \u2018trade\u2019, we decided to exhibit a cross section of our offering,\u201d explained National Pile Croppers, UK sales director, Scott Fitchett. \u201cHydraulic pile croppers are becoming the \u2018must-have\u2019 equipment on sites and projects throughout the world and that includes Scotland. The equipment we exhibited was greeted positively by the many visitors who came to our stand and the business the show generated proved what a good investment exhibiting proved to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hydraulic pile cropper<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the reasons National Pile Croppers chose Scotplant to exhibit was to familiarise construction businesses with the technology in general, and the company\u2019s offering in particular. A pile cropper (also known as a pile cutter or pile breaker) is a very precise hydraulic shear with defined angles of deflection and points of contact ensuring a clean cut of the excess that does not interfere with the efficacy of the remaining pile. There are a breadth of different types and sizes of available, depending on the task at hand. For example, augured, bearing, contiguous, secant, CFA, trench and helical displacement with croppers are available from National Pile Croppers in varying sizes ranging normally from 300mm to 1,200mm in diameter.<\/p>\n

Mounted on a 360O<\/sup> excavator via quick release fittings, pile croppers have proved their versatility and effectiveness in all sectors of the construction industry, from housing to commercial, public to private, utilities, road and rail. When lowered onto the concrete pile, the hydraulic system operates the jaw(s) which allows the pile cropper to cut a de-bonded pile and cause the concrete to break away leaving a horizontal finish as a result. In doing this the chisels penetrate in a precise direction up to the rebar to make the fracture. On bonded piles, the chisels will penetrate further, and due to the shape of the chisels and the reaction forces of the rebar, the concrete will break in pieces and can easily be lifted off the pile enabling recycling of the cut away concrete.<\/p>\n

In recent years precast concrete piles have been and are used for various civil engineering and construction structures, with common applications ranging from small housing developments to major inner-city renovation, construction and infrastructure projects, such as HS2. These mass produced piles are customisable length wise and are suitable for a huge range of applications and ground conditions, thereby offering a cost effective precision piling solution once reduced.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were pleasantly surprised to see visitors to Scotplant embrace pile cropping technology. The highly knowledgeable visitors to our stand were quick to spot to the opportunities National Pile Croppers offers their businesses. We would like to thank all those who came to our stand and for letting us explain how we can help construction businesses, large or small, improve their efficiency and profitability,\u201d concludes Scott Fitchett.<\/p>\n
