Cummins QSB6.7 that delivers 194 kW at 2200 rpm, while simultaneously ensuring a low environmental impact due to reduced noise, fuel consumption and emissions. Key features of the newly restyled Soilmec SM-22 include more flexibility, more performance, ease-of-maintenance and a better environmental impact. mining sectors from North and South America and as far away as Europe, South Africa and New Zealand for two days of learning and fun. Attendees were treated to an opening reception on the evening prior to the event, and then gathered the following morning in the TEI Classroom for presentations, hands-on demonstrations and tours where they learned about TEI’s latest products. Presentations focused on the new lightweight and user-friendly TD100 drill rig; the RDS1500, a new rotary drill with a low profile, compact size and short overall length; and the TE760, a combination of the percussion power of the TE726 and the rotational torque of the TE560. The popular TEI Hollow Bar School will take place in Montrose, Colo., on June 2-8, 2019. For more information, visit www.teirockdrills.com. extend the life of the dam’s infrastructure. GSI prepped the degraded 100-year-old concrete surface to achieve an adequate pull-off bond strength for the newly applied fiber reinforced shotcrete, as well as rehabilitation of the concrete on the exterior portion of the outlet and access tunnels. The Soilmec SM-22 microdrill rig is an evolution of the historic PSM-1350 and SM-20 models that overall have sold more than 300 units worldwide and have been completely redesigned to ensure high efficiency and productivity levels onsite together with the highest safety standards. Due to its modular design, the SM-22 can be easily configured in different single rotary fittings, double rotary, top-hammer and vibro-rotary to carry out consolidation, micropiles and anchors with different drilling technologies, direct circulation, reverse circulation, DTH, CFA and jet grouting. With an operating weight of 22 tons, the rig is assembled on steel crawler track complete with two rear outriggers and two extendable hydraulic front stabilizer pads to give an increased stability on any soil formation. The rig is powered by a GDG was acknowledged by the European Commission for developing novel asset management software, and was awarded the first stage of the European Commission’s SME INSTRUMENT, a support fund designed to accelerate the route to market for innovative SMEs with game changing ideas within their specific sectors. Civil infrastructure assets are failing with increasing regularity across the globe due to more frequent extreme weather events associated with climate change and aging structures. However, given the scale of infrastructure networks, managing the risk is a major challenge. The engineering team at GDG has developed a scientific solution to address this challenge using a risk-based methodology. The approach relies on collating a wide range of data sources, analyzing the condition of geotechnical assets to determine the risk to the network and, ultimately, making informed mainte- nance decisions under a constrained budget. GeoStabilization International (GSI) recently completed restoration efforts in assisting Barrick Gold with the rehabil- itation of the Willow Creek Reservoir dam in Nevada. The reservoir drained in December of 2017 due to the malfunction of a gate actuator valve. Barrick undertook a complete restoration of the dam with the installation of new fencing and public access gates as well as the replacement of cast iron gate components, including the stems and gates with stainless steel components to 128 • DEEP FOUNDATIONS • NOV/DEC 2018 ALLU exhibited a cross section of its processor and transformer technology during Bauma China 2018, November 27- 30, in Shanghai, China. The ALLU transformer series comprises an excavator/ loader/tractor-mounted processing bucket that screens, pulverizes, aerates, blends, mixes, separates, crushes, feeds and loads materials, all of which can be carried out on site. This results in the feed material being effectively transformed into highly-valuable products, making businesses more efficient and more profitable. The ALLU transformer series comprises the compact DL- and D-
