YG Machinery supplied a pile cutting machine to a construction company in Vietnam. The company was building a 5km highway bridge. The project required processing 350 concrete piles, each 800-1200mm in diameter. The team was using manual chiseling. Progress was too slow. The project was falling behind schedule.
The company switched to a YG hydraulic pile breaker with 10 modules (for 800-1150mm piles). The breaker mounted on their existing 30-ton excavator. Processing time per pile dropped from 2 hours to 12 minutes. The 350-pile job was completed in 70 hours instead of 700 hours. Zero rebar damage. No welding repairs needed. The project got back on schedule. No worker injuries from falling concrete or jackhammer vibration.
The Highway Bridge Project in Vietnam
A construction company in Vietnam was working on a 5km highway bridge. The bridge required 350 concrete piles. Each pile was 800-1200mm in diameter. These piles form the foundation of the bridge. Each pile head must be removed before the pile cap can be poured.
The company started with manual chiseling. Workers used jackhammers to break the concrete. Each pile took 2 hours to process. Progress was slow. The project schedule was slipping. The contractor needed a faster solution.
Why a Vietnamese Contractor Needed a Pile Cutting Machine?
Manual chiseling had several problems for the bridge project.
Time was the biggest issue. Two hours per pile meant 700 hours of work for 350 piles. At 8 hours per day, that is nearly 90 working days just for pile breaking. The project could not afford this delay.
Rebar damage was another problem. Jackhammers often bent or cut the steel rebar inside the piles. Damaged rebar needed welding repairs. Welding took extra time and cost money.
Safety was also a concern. Workers stood near falling concrete chunks. Jackhammer vibration caused fatigue and injuries. The company wanted to protect its workers.
A pile cutting machine solves these problems. It mounts on an excavator. The operator works from the cab. No one stands near falling concrete. The machine crushes concrete but leaves rebar intact.
How the Contractor Found YG Machinery?
The project manager searched online for a pile breaker machine. Several brands were considered. Some had poor reviews. Some could not handle 1000mm diameter piles.
YG Machinery was found during online research. The hydraulic pile breaker with 10 modules caught attention. It fits piles from 800mm to 1150mm. Perfect for the bridge project.
An inquiry was submitted through the website. Our sales manager replied within a few hours. Questions covered pile diameter, pile quantity, excavator size, and project timeline. The manager explained the bridge needs 350 piles processed quickly.
The sales manager confirmed the 10-module concrete pile cutter works with a 30-ton excavator. The company already had a 30-ton excavator on site. No new machine needed. Videos of the pile crusher working on similar projects were sent. The project manager placed an order.
YG Hydraulic Pile Breaker with 10 Modules
Here is what the construction company received:
| Specification | 10-Module Pile Breaker |
| Number of modules | 10 |
| Pile diameter range | 1000-1150mm |
| Total weight | 3300kg |
| Single module weight | 335kg |
| Chisel diameter | 110mm |
| Max cylinder pressure | 300MPa |
| Excavator requirement | 30-40T |
The pile crusher mounted on the company’s existing 30-ton excavator. No separate power source needed. The excavator’s hydraulic system powers the breaker.
The 10 modules connect in a circle around the pile head. Each module has a hydraulic cylinder and chisel. When activated, all chisels press into the concrete from all sides at the same time.
Core Advantages of This Pile Cutting Machine
10x faster than manual work. Manual chiseling took 2 hours per pile. The pile cutting machine takes 12 minutes. That is 10 times faster.
Zero rebar damage. The chisels crush concrete only. They stop at the steel rebar. No bent bars. No welding repairs. The rebar comes out perfect every time.
Safe operation. The operator stays in the excavator cab. No one stands near falling concrete. No jackhammer vibration.
Modular design. The 10-module configuration fits 1000-1150mm piles. For other pile sizes, add or remove modules. One machine handles multiple projects.
Mounts on existing excavator. The company already had a 30-ton excavator. No need to buy a separate power source.
Low noise. Hydraulic crushing is much quieter than jackhammers. Work can continue without disturbing nearby areas.
No dust. No hammering means no flying dust. Cleaner job site.
Putting the Pile Cutting Machine to Work
The hydraulic pile breaker arrived at the Vietnam bridge site within five weeks. YG provided remote training. The excavator operator learned to use the concrete pile cutter in one day.
The process was simple. The excavator positioned the pile breaker over the concrete pile head. Hydraulic pressure was activated. The chisels crushed the concrete from all sides. The operator lowered the breaker and repeated. The concrete broke away in chunks. The excavator bucket cleared the debris. The rebar stood clean and straight.
The results after completing all 350 piles:
| Metric | Before (Manual) | After (Pile Breaker) | Improvement |
| Time per pile | 2 hours | 12 minutes | 90% faster |
| Total time for 350 piles | 700 hours | 70 hours | 630 hours saved |
| Rebar damage | Common | Zero | No welding needed |
| Worker injuries | Risk of falling concrete | None | Safer |
The project schedule was recovered. The contractor was weeks behind before. Now the project is ahead. The pile caps are being poured on time.
