Bottom Drive™ Wick Drain
APE wick drain installer: vibratory (dynamic) force + static force = speed.
The APE wick installer allows the mandrel to pass directly trough the center of the vibrator, while a sprocket drive provides static force. The sprocket drive delivers equal force on both sides of the mandrel for perfect axial loading.
The APE wick installer was made for super long wick drain installation. The light-weight machine mounts at the bottom of the leader rather than at the top. Leads can be longer because they only need to support the weight of the mandrel. The entire machine can be fitted to an excavator without any added power units.
