See how SANY excavators and Okada hammers were put to the test! On a construction site when you hit rock, you need the right heavy equipment to get the job done. H20 Construction needed to hammer through 80 feet of solid rock. Having the right excavator with the right hydraulic hammer was extremely important. They kept our SANY excavators equipped with Okada hammers working around the clock, six days a week, 12 hours a day and had zero down time! The SANY Excavators, working and hammering through the rock with their Okada hydraulic hammers performed well and helped H20 meet their project deadline! Though SANY America may be relatively new to the US, SANY heavy ind. (SANY global) is the 5th largest equipment company in the world. They are quickly proving themselves in the American market in the days ahead.
Marty Malloy interviews H2O Construction's Steve Lockhart at the UPike site talking about the performance of Newman Tractor's new SANY Excavators and Okada Hammers. In 2014, University of Pikeville unveiled their exciting plans for the new Kentucky College of Optometry. The UPIKE will be the 22nd school in the country to have a college of optometry. The Health Professions Education Building will house the Kentucky College of Optometry with its 108,000 square feet. But in order for the new building to fit in, 50,000 cubic yards of rock and dirt need to be moved.
H2O Construction has been taking on the biggest construction jobs in their region since 1983. Their newest task is working on making the way for UPIKE's new building and busting through 80 feet of rock. And they have partnered with Newman Tractor to help get through the rock wall. Newman Tractor has recently became a dealer of SANY Excavators and Okada Hammers. And these tough conditions, as Marty Malloy puts it, are a "pretty good test" for the durability of the SANY Excavators and Okada Hammers. Steve Lockhart of H2O Construction is gratified by the rugged performances of the SANY Excavators and Okada Hammers. They have been going non-stop for the past 2 months, working 60-70 hours a week. Lockhart says they are moving "a lot of rock in a short time." University of Pikeville's new Health Professions Education Building is scheduled to be complete in Fall 2016. A big thanks to Steve Lockhart, H2O Construction Company of Pikeville, and UPike.
