  • Patent number: 10364604
    Abstract: A device is provided for the movement and mutual assembly of segments of an excavation battery. The device includes four parts: an upper joint, a lower joint, a flexible element and a stop element. The upper joint is connectable to a driving tube. The lower joint is connectable to one segment of the excavation battery. The flexible element connects the upper joint to the lower joint so that the lower joint slides along the flexible element. The stop element limits the sliding of the lower joint away from the upper joint, and includes a ballast with a diameter that is less than a diameter of an inner duct in one segment of the excavation battery.

  • Patent number: 9970173
    Abstract: A tubing device is operatively connectable to an excavation machine. The tubing device comprises a base frame, at least one guiding tower operatively connected to the base frame, and a tube operating unit, operatively connected to the guiding tower. The tube operating unit is slidable along the guiding tower and is provided with engaging means capable of both selectively holding a tube segment, and of transmitting a rotary motion and an axial sliding movement to such a tube segment so as to allow the progressive driving in the ground and subsequent extraction from the ground.

  • Patent number: 9284715
    Abstract: Disclosed a device for digging diaphragms, including a framework and a half-shell support body, fixed in the lower part of the framework, which supports a first pair of half-shells moved to open and close by a first actuation system. The device also has a reservoir operatively connected to the first pair of half-shells to contain the soil dug by half-shells. The reservoir is normally positioned between the framework and the half-shells and has a volume configured to contain an amount of soil corresponding to the amount of soil dug by such half-shells during a single operating cycle of the device. The device can also include separation means actuated for isolating the soil contained in the reservoir.

  • Patent number: 9255376
    Abstract: A modular system of multipurpose rods for drilling soil is constituted by rods (1) crossed by an internal passage (2) for the passage of concrete, of substantially cylindrical shape, that completely crosses the rod; each of the rods is provided at the endings with a male insert (5) and a female insert (6) respectively, adapted to be plugged in one to the other for permitting the assembly in batteries of any length. The inserts (5, 6) are provided with transmitters (11, 11a) for transmitting the rotation along the whole battery of rods (1) and arranged for fixing elements that reduce the internal passage (2).

  • Patent number: 9157209
    Abstract: The helical drill bit defines a helical end section of a helical structure formed at its periphery by an auger of an excavation assembly, and it is associated or associable with a support portion of the auger. Such a support portion defines a proximal section of the helical structure, which has an extension substantially centered around a longitudinal axis (X-X). The helical drill bit is adapted to rotate about the longitudinal axis (X-X) together with the support portion so as to drill a hole in the ground. The helical end section extends around an extremity axis (Y-Y; ?-?) that is not aligned relative to the longitudinal axis (X-X).

  • Publication number: 20150259871
    Abstract: The invention describes a tubing device of the type operatively connectable to an excavation machine and configured to perform an excavation in the ground contained, at least partially, inside at least one tube segment. The tubing device comprises a base frame, at least one guiding tower for the tube segment, operatively connected to the base frame, and a tube operating unit, operatively connected to the guiding tower. The tube operating unit is slidable along the guiding tower and is provided with engaging means capable of both selectively holding the tube segment, and of transmitting a rotary motion and an axial sliding movement to such a tube segment so as to allow the progressive driving in the ground and subsequent extraction from the ground. The axial sliding movement is guided by the guiding tower and the width of such axial sliding movement is determined by the stroke of the tube operating unit on such a guiding tower and is proportional to at least once the diameter of the tube segment.

  • Patent number: 8931978
    Abstract: A cutting/mixing tool for thin diaphragm walls is mounted at the end of at least one drilling rod (47) moved by a slidable assembly (42, 62) along a tower (41), carried by an operating drilling machine (40).

  • Patent number: 8608411
    Abstract: Device (1) for consolidating soils by mechanical mixing and injection of consolidating fluids is designed to be connected to one or more drilling rods and to carry out operations of drilling and mixing. The device has a main body (10), one or more blades (30) (30?) (30?), which are mobile with respect to the body (10) and are constrained by cams (22) to a central structure (20) internal to the body (10). The device (1) has channels for the flow of fluids (40), which are connected in a liquid-tight way to at least one sprayer; a relative motion is generated between the central structure (20) and the external body (10) as a function of the pressure of a liquid introduced into the channels for the flow of fluids (40), which brings about opening of the blades (30) (30?)
