Shock Load!! video 1 of 2
Sudden pile run during offshore piling operations causes drastic increase of the load shock load and snapping of the rigging accessories!

[@theirishman8356]

China just called and said knock that shit off 😂

[@Ryarios]

Engineer: well, crap… I used to work in heavy construction and have seen piles both, disappear and collapse and fall over. On one disappearance I haven to be speaking to the engineer sitting nearby counting the strikes and asked what they would do now. He just looked at me, smiled and shrugged…

That post in now coming up on the other side of the earth.

🤡 clown

[@tedsmith6137]

Drove it through into the Underworld!

[@BackyardBeeKeepingNuevo]

To quote the operator, “we sent that one straight to Hell boys.”

[@TokenTombstone]

Looks like they hit a soft spot.

[@anthonymaddison9588]

I have had the same thing happen. didn't lose the hammer,it wasn't attached. just got chains on pile before we lost it.welded on another one,kept driving.

[@scottcolpitts8521]

This video is two years ago yet all comments are from this past week. Lol

[@topfuel5004]

And yet here you are 2 years later commenting, LOL!

[@rinkopr5561]

It’s because of a pile “running” I much prefer to use a friction crane for pile driving.

[@kokeninquarantaine3235]

Wondering where you think you can find a +4000t friction crane.

[@waterlife.1905]

It be like dat sometimes.

[@woodennecktie]

menck , the hammer company has multiple cases like this on their record , the pre survey at sea is close to useless

[@harlisbiakeddy3419]

so what happened?

[@robertboykin1828]

I saw one being driven @ the marina I was staying. The last "hit" the piling drifted down about 5 Ft.

[@thomasm9552]

Quick! Get a cork before we drain the ocean!

[@dr.kennethnoisewater26]

Safety first, then teamwork. Wear shoes in the house

[@JorisPauws]

[@BackyardBeeKeepingNuevo]

You mean underground 😂

[@Coquina17]

Knocked the bottom out of Mother Earth!

[@viciousKev]

Imagine trying to sleep on this boat

[@MrBobcatquebec]

Never thought of that, but must be hell... ear plugs and ear muffs... you will still hear it...

[@thunderch1ck3en]

​@@MrBobcatquebecnope. I worked on this boat for a few years. It was easy to sleep. The accomodation is hundreds of feet away, and a lot of that noise doesn't make it in there.

At the same time Crane operator must see and Lower the block

[@terrynewman1679]

That is correct the hook should follow the pile so that there is always slack before it stops otherwise it will just break the Endless Wire Rope Sling from the dynamic force

[@chuckhartey9349]

If the ground is that soft why would you use a pile driver,just push it down with your hands.

[@johnnyleach7152]

Datz bawls deep, den sum.

[@r.l.mashburn4851]

Hook Broke off ?

[@scottcolpitts8521]

Looks like they hit a soft spot and the shock load snapped rigging

[@thinkamajig]

they found the oak island money pit...

[@thanhhaimai1938]

unbilivable

[@noahpafford4938]

Close enough

[@RustyorBroken]

@@noahpafford4938 heh....

[@leechjim8023]

Sinkholes!

[@petergarbutt9521]

WASTE OF 1 MINUTE AND 1 SECOND.... BANG, BANG, PILE GONE "AND" ????????????????????

[@rikellis7871]

It's not possible, to come out on the other side of the earth, it's all Sheol, nothing after that. Good laugh though to a degree. We must assume, there are soft spots and there are cavities.
