Concrete Tunnels

HUGE CONCRETE WATER TUNNEL 13.2 MILES LONG USES VIBCO’S HIGH FREQUENCY AIR VIBRATOR

VIBCO’s MODEL SVRF-5500 V GETS THE JOB DONE.

224 VIBCO High Frequency Vibrators, Model SVRF-5500 were used on the steel form for casting the New York City water tunnel #3. Each 40 steel form section contained 28 VIBCO vibrators. Lining operations were carried on in a 24 hour five day work schedule. An average of 700 yards a day were placed. VIBCO High Frequency Air Vibrators create 5000 lbs. of force at 80 PSI of pressure. They are bearingless, and the unique air chambers and spring steel wear plates make the unit virtually maintenance free, Ask for free descriptive literature. Other places the VIBCO air vibrators were used are the sewage tunnel around Chicago, New York and the Boston Subway tunnels.

VIBCO engineers with their wide experience on many no charge, figure out how many vibrators to use on your form, where and how to place them, locate manifolds and size them, figure air consumption, also lubricators needed, vibration sequence, etc.
