Drilling and foundation equipment - Safety - Part 4: Foundation equipment
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 16228-4 standard focuses on the safety requirements for foundation equipment. It outlines the necessary measures to eliminate or minimize risks associated with the use of such equipment, taking into consideration both intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse.
Foundation equipment encompasses various types of machines used for activities like drilling, driving, vibrating, pushing, pulling, or other techniques. These machines are employed for tasks such as installing or extracting longitudinal foundation elements, soil improvement through dynamic compacting, vibrating, and soil mixing techniques, as well as vertical drainage. The standard also acknowledges that the process of foundation techniques typically involves the addition of longitudinal elements like concrete piles, steel beams, tubes, and sheet piles, as well as the use of injection elements such as tubes and hoses, and casings for cast in situ methods.
