For compact work, INPIEQ is the 'One Stop Shop'

Specialist in compact equipment for the foundation industry

Companies looking for compact drilling units, piling rigs, grout units or an accurate recording system have come to the right place at INPIEQ. With machines developed entirely in-house, the company responds to the growing need for flexible foundation equipment. This often needs to be smaller in size - preferably without a broker - in order to provide optimum efficiency both indoors and outdoors.

Frank van Deursen is the director of INPIEQ from Steenbergen. He likes to show us that his company is the "One Stop Shop" for everything related to compact drilling and pile driving. "There is an increasing demand for small drilling and pile driving machines and that is understandable: easy to transport and they can go almost anywhere due to their limited height." The foundation specialist has all the techniques and working experience for this segment in-house, with the result that the company likes to present itself as a total supplier. Three in-house developments have contributed to this.

For example, INPIEQ has become known for its IFD series of compact foundation machines. From the smallest IFD1.5 (max drilling torque 15 kNm) to the largest IFD45 (450 kNm torque), these are custom built to make full displacement screw injection piles when space and height are limited. They have either a current Stage V motor or an electric drive. Frank says, "The IFD series is so complete that the customer only needs to purchase tubing and a drill tip to get started." He goes on to point out that the removable ballast, outriggers and drill box reduce transport weight and size to such an extent that the "bare" machine can be moved easily and quickly.

Subsequently, INPIEQ builds the compact, fully automatic IGP grout mixing and pumping unit with its stable flow for optimal production, thanks to a developed plunger pump. Due to this constancy, the maximum pump flow is achieved completely peak pressure-free.

Another important development for the foundation profession was the DLS Registration System. This accurately records all data of the pile made and transmits it to computer and/or cell phone. In this way, it is possible to see in real-time whether everything is working properly and to easily demonstrate that the foundation pile meets the bearing capacity requirements.
