In the world of urban drilling equipment the new Soilmec SC-110 Urban is designed to meet the increasingly complex demands of metropolitan job sites. This hydromill combines high performance, compact design and cutting-edge technology, setting a new benchmark in the sector.
While hydromills are traditionally large and complex machines, the SC-110 Urban was engineered to operate efficiently in tight, densely populated environments. Its modular power pack, available in both diesel (563 kW) and electric (500 kW) versions, can be positioned at the side, rear or on the ground – offering maximum flexibility on site. With noise emissions as low as 107 dB(A), it is particularly well-suited for urban settings.
From a logistics perspective, the machine stands out with a base weight of just 32.4 tonnes and optimised geometries that allow for the joint transport of boom and winch, significantly reducing handling time and transport costs.
Its excavation performance is ensured by the new SH-25 and SH-35 modules, equipped with 110kNm torque motors and a 450m³/h mud pump, enabling the construction of diaphragm walls up to 80m deep. Verticality is controlled with triple-axis sensors, a DMS visualisation system in the cabin and 12 instrumented flaps, delivering unmatched precision. The machine can also excavate ‘T’ panels and handle panel widths from 650mm to 1,500 mm and lengths up to 3,200mm, offering exceptional operational versatility.
Another key innovation is the contamination-protection system, which uses advanced filtration on the return lines and an off-line filtration system in the drainage tank to keep hydraulic fluids clean. This reduces maintenance costs and extends component life.
Operator comfort and safety are also central to the SC-110 Urban’s design. The Soilmec BT cabin, developed with input from experienced operators, features advanced ergonomics, climate control and a high-definition DMS touchscreen interface. Safety is enhanced by high-resolution cameras, proximity sensors, and visual and audible alerts, all integrated into a comprehensive monitoring system.
