We had a 25-32 D-Mag at a site that really didn't need it. It had a massive underground cavern/lake system not 40 feet under us. They would cycle the hammer, the piling would sink like 5-8 feet and the hammer could not keep up and stop. The crane could barely hold the assembly up so it was hazardous work. Another site we used a gravity hammer and we would beat on pilings all day long and not reach bearing. We stopped, got a D-Mag out there and started wailing away, making bearing easy
Union Pacific Railroad likes the 30-32 delmag swinging leads for driving h pile and round pile for bridges as also berminghammers loud as hell and hard on your ears o yea and them stupid ropes get tangled all the time too get it centered perfect or it will bend the top of the pile/sheeting too that one is real clean most are greasy and very nasty spitting oily grease everywhere in rock it bends piles especially batters fast if not paying attention hard on bolts and fasteners too
