One
of permanent focus of Intersolo board is to keep the company
updated on equipments and new foundation types by visiting
job sites abroad.
Besides
those visits, Intersolo engineers have been participated in
all Brazilian Foundation Seminars, Soil Mechanics Congress
and events organized by ABMS and ABEF. These main events happen
each two years, one at a time alternatively.
Intersolo
is a past member of the ADSC Association of Drilled Contracts
in the United States which hás becomed the IAFD International
Association of Foundation Drilling. This important association
is responsible for organizing each year a very large exposition
of foundation drilling equipment, and twice Intersolo has
been present in those events in that country.
Looking
forward in updating its piling operations, Intersolo board
members have visited abroad several job sites in Europe and
in the United
States during the years of 2004 and 2005.
One result of these visits was the purchase in 2006 of Intersolo’s
first hydraulic piling rig with an accelerated hammer, made
by Junttan of Finland which has a energy measure device. It
was the second unit of that type of equipment to be brought
to Brazil.
Again,
in 2007, another technical visit to job sites in Holland
and Finland led to the
company’s decision to purchase its second equipment of hydraulic
piling rig with Junttan hammer and to open negotiations to
bring to this country a modern type of pile joint that requires
no welding and based on matching pins.
