Contractor prien used its liebherr HS 895 HD crawler crane for a flood protection project in Hamburg. It is being used to install raked piles around the city's dyke using a 10,5 tonne S70 hydraulic vibrator from IHC. Each pile was 43 m long and weighed 9 tonnes. Despite these dimensions, four to five piles were installed per day, and the contract took less than three months to complete.
