Experience for you!

“100 years of drilling,

4 decades of building machines,
and still down to the earth” Prof. Thomas Bauer

We could start by telling you about Sebastian Bauer, who founded a copper forge
in the German town of Schrobenhausen some 200 years ago. We could then
move on to how his workshop prospered and developed to a leading construction
company for specialist foundation engineering. The story would continue to the
mid 20th century, when innovation and the drive for perfection prompted Bauer
to develop and build their own high-quality and high-performance machinery.
And it still wouldn´t end in the 21st century, Bauer now family-run in the seventh
generation and meanwhile a globally operating group with more than 100 branches
and subsidiaries operating in the fields of special foundation engineering (Bauer
Spezialtiefbau), in manufacturing of foundation equipment (Bauer Maschinen) and
focusing on products and services in the fields of water, energy, mineral resources
and environmental technology (Bauer Resources).
But we think what really matters about us and to our customers is this:
We are a strong partner with face and values, we are down to earth, and we are
dedicated to perfection in everything we touch.

More than machines: Competent consulting

Quality is not an act,

it is a habit.

Of the thousands of machines Bauer Maschinen has built since production started
in the 1970´s with the first rotary drill rig BG 7, many of them are still in operation
all over the world – in Siberia as well as in the desert. State of the art technology
developed end-to-end by our inhouse engineers and full machine tests prior to
delivery are one side of the coin. Bauer Maschinen can serve any customer need
with the most comprehensive product portfolio. The other side is project-specific
consulting by highly trained experts, with a focus on your special requirements.
And what is even more, our service and support extends to the full 30.000 and
more working hours of each of our machines.

 The BAUER BG ValueLine

The BG ValueLine

Perfection is achieved
when there is nothing left to take away.

Drilling uncased deep boreholes stabilized by drilling fluid, or drilling cased boreholes
with installing casings by the rotary drive or by a hydraulic casing oscillator. If Kelly
drilling is your task, then the BG ValueLine is our solution. The machines of the
ValueLine are specifically adapted to no other purpose than Kelly drilling – and that
perfectly.
You can expect superior Bauer performance and customary Bauer durability at
affordable costs for acquisition and operation. How we do it? By applying cutting-
edge technology, reduced to nothing less than the essentials.

Installation of collar casing

(standpipe) with casing twister
By simply attaching a “casing
twister” to the Kelly bar, single wall
collar casings with a max. length
of 6 m can be installed directly
with the BG 30 without the use
of additional equipment (such as
crane mounted vibrators).

BG 30 ValueLine (BH 80) | © BAUER Maschinen GmbH 01.2013 13

 BG 30 (BH 80) Application – cased Kelly drilling

Installation of casings with

rotary drive KDK
The BG 30 is ideally suitable for installing
and extracting double-walled casing
sections whenever boreholes have to be
supported by a casing string.

The torque and the crowd force are

transmitted directly from the rotary
drive to the top of the casing through an
optional casing drive adapter.

The system works very well in medium

dense soil conditions to medium depth.

Installation of casings with
casing oscillator BV
A hydraulic casing oscillator BV is the
appropriate auxiliary equipment for
installing and even more for extracting
double-walled casing sections in difficult
conditions (hard soil, big depth, big
borehole diameter).

The concept of the BG 30 allows

attaching a casing oscillator to the
undercarriage and providing the full
necessary hydraulic power directly from
the main hydraulic system of the BG 30.

It is an optional feature which boosts the

application range of the BG 30 in
its class.
