Press-in Technology (Eco- friendly Piling Works), Construction Revolution and Disaster Recovery Technology

According to United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), Tokyo reported about Silent Piler and its Piling Method. Giken manufactures a piling machine called Silent Piler™ and offers various construction technologies with the Press-in Method, worldwide. The Silent Piler™ characteristics, including but are not limited to, low noise, no vibration, and compactness, allow working in constrained areas, such as overwater, restricted headroom, and construction sites along with existing buildings.
One of the representative Press-in Methods, the Non-Staging Method, provides benefit to the total construction work as it allows the installation of piles without a temporary stage, and hence reduces the construction cost and period.

Press-in Principle

The Silent Piler grips the previously installed piles with the hydraulically operated Clamps. The next pile is then gripped by the Chuck at the press-in point and jacked into the ground with the static load generated by the hydraulic rams.
During the jacking, penetration resistance comprising of skin friction, toe resistance, and interlock resistance occur. It has the effect to convert a press-in force to a reactive lifting force but it is a greater force, provided by the extraction resistance of the reaction piles that resist this. Consequently, the down-stroke force acts on the pile to penetrate the ground.

Major Features and Advantages

  1. The press-in Method will not generate environmental pollution from construction, such as noise and vibration.
  2. Silent Piler is so light and compact that the extent of the piling activities can be minimized.
  3. Pre-fabricated piles produced at the plant are pressed in directly, so high-quality completed piles can be built with peace of mind.
  4. Multiple sets of compact machines and apparatuses can be used at the same time to greatly shorten the construction period.
  5. Speedy piling progress is available because there are the least limits in working hours, even in highly restricted areas and night work.
  6. All machines are so compact that it is not necessary to completely close active traffic.
  7. The performance of piles can be checked and controlled during the construction, allowing high-quality completed piles to be built

What’s The Trend of the Philippines Heavy Equipment Rental Industry?

The trend of renting instead of purchasing heavy machinery has proven to be beneficial for companies of all sizes across numerous industries, with less administrative overhead, along with reduced expense and maintenance, anticipated to drive the Philippines heavy equipment rental industry during Covid-19.

To what extent is the Covid-19-induced recession impacting rental industry in the Philippines?

The coronavirus pandemic has led to an immediate drop in purchasing spending from the aviation industry, industrial, construction, transportation & government project spending. They have to deal with the budgetary needs while their business comes to a halt due to lost demand (or purchasing power) from the onslaught of the pandemic. The rental rates of the Philippine rental equipment market have gone down slightly in 2020-2021. At the same time, however, the disruption of the pandemic is giving rise to new opportunities, and the rental market has the chance to establish a first-mover advantage as customers rent the equipment instead of purchasing a new one more than ever before.

The rental equipment market can be segmented on the basis of type (Party and Event equipment, General Tools & Construction, and Industrial Equipment) and industry (Oil & Gas Industry, Construction Industry, Mining Industry & Power Industry). The construction and Industrial rental equipment market can be further segmented on the basis of type (Earthmoving Machinery, Material Handling Machinery, MEWP (Mobile Elevated Work Platform), and Concrete Road Construction).

Let’s take a look with us at Rental’s role through three of the most significant advantages:

Rental Advantage #1 – Cash Flow Management 

One of rental’s biggest impacts is flexibility in managing cash flow. Payments on a purchased machine must be made whether the machine is being used or not. If available jobs shift and the machine is no longer needed, it can quickly become a troubling liability. When the backlog is uncertain, rental eliminates the capital investment required for a purchase, and contractors can return unneeded machines if jobs change.

Rental Advantage #2 – Nimble Equipment Fleet 

Speaking of jobs changing, that same flexibility allows for quick restructuring of an equipment fleet. Part of the creative adaptation to uncertainty means contractors may look to take on different types of jobs, ones they may not have historically pursued. Often, this may mean acquiring equipment not typically found in the fleet. By augmenting a fleet with rental machines, equipment can be swapped and added quickly while tying up less cash than in an entirely owned fleet.

Rental Advantage #3 – Renting to Own 

Even amid uncertainty, thinking strategically means looking beyond just today. With many rental providers offering rent-to-purchase options, contractors can manage through short-term uncertainty while still adhering to a long-term plan. If the odds are likely that a rented machine will be purchased later, terms and pricing can be built into the rental agreement, allowing customers to invest in the eventual purchase while renting the machine.

Having been in the Philippines rental market for over 10 years and with experience from the large mother company in Japan for more than 60 years, Mayon Machinery has made a commitment to deliver the highest quality of equipment and the best service to ensure your complete satisfaction.

MEWPs Effect On The Philippines Rental Market

Before MEWPs (AWPs), scaffolding was the main form of a solution on a worksite in the construction, petrochemical, and industrial sectors when working at height. Today, the rise of new and cutting-edge technology is advancing construction equipment to more modern and safer, enabling better quality work, along with timely completion of projects.

MEWPs have a number of advantages over scaffolding systems:

  • A self-propelled MEWP can be driven to the worksite to begin work. Scaffolding must be manually transported to the worksite after curbside delivery and may require coordination with a third party that specializes in the erecting/dismantling of scaffolding systems.
  • MEWPs allow for most jobs to be completed in the same or less time, with fewer workers than scaffolding requires. The less time the workers have to spend assembling, climbing up while carrying tools/supplies, and navigating around scaffolding, the more time, energy, and productivity are focused on getting the actual project done.
  • MEWPs are highly maneuverable and can reach restricted areas efficiently where scaffolding simply can’t get to.
  • MEWPs provide guardrail systems that are meant to support fall protection measures and differ from scaffolding in that it provides the safety that moves with the operator/occupants.
  • A major benefit of self-propelled lifts is their ability to work on every terrain and job site, except scaffolding.

Therefore, MEWPs are the cheaper, safer, and more efficient alternative to consider making the switch to such traditional methods.

“What happens if the machine stops working? Will they fail to deliver the machine at the expense of my construction project? What about after-sales services?” Those questions are the customer’s concerns nowadays. With long experience in Japan, MAYON assures to offer our customers in the Philippines 24/7 support throughout the entire rental/sales process.
