That focus on reliability extends to
Marona's choice of excavators, which is an
all-Hitachi fleet ranging from a ZX50U-5
up to a ZX870LC-6.
"The reason we continue with Hitachi
is because of its proven track record of
being reliable and being able to perform in
the way we need on projects of this size,"
Saloma said. "My favorite thing about
Hitachi excavators is the fact that I repeatedly say they are reliable. And for our type
of business, any downtime costs money."
At the Philadelphia Water Department
site, the ZX870LC-6 also lowers the
ZX50U-5 compact excavator into the
trench to dig further in the close quarters
before lifting it back out and removing the
remaining material.
"We needed that digging force and lifting
capability," Ludwick said. "With Hitachi,
we get both of those. The depth it can reach
has been very helpful."
A 35-foot-deep trench is no joke. Workers
shore
10:40:27 AM the trench to protect the employees
entering it. The deep trench allows for a
10-foot-diameter, steel water main to be
installed in order to convey water along the
new route. The excavators dig a little deeper
before another waler is placed and then the
team continues to dig down to grade.
That efficiency is especially important,
since this pipeline will ultimately provide
more water to the city of Philadelphia.
"Efficiency means that we are able to
meet our production rates on any type of
pipeline project," Saloma said. "Project
owners have come to rely on Marona for
successful results."
Dealer reliability is also something the
Marona team counts on.
"Elliott & Frantz's Drew Carr guided us
through which machines to select for this
project from the early planning stage, and
obviously we're very happy with Hitachi,"
Saloma said. "Plus, Elliott & Frantz provides excellent service and that's why we
chose them to be our dealer."
