Nature-based engineering

When machine power works together with the land

Nature-based engineering addresses a concrete need: to consolidate, protect and restore slopes, embankments, riverbanks and green areas through interventions designed to integrate with the surrounding environment.

It is not simply a matter of building a structure, but of creating a system that continues to work over time, together with the soil, vegetation and the actual environmental conditions.

In this context, choosing the right equipment is crucial. Power is required, but so is control. Productivity is essential, but so is precision. What is needed is a machine capable of operating on slopes, in hard-to-access areas and on complex terrain.

This is why Cangeo develops professional solutions such as the Plury vibratory pile driver with clamp, designed to bring technology, strength and operational performance to the jobsite and work alongside professionals during nature-based engineering operations.

What is nature-based engineering?

Nature-based engineering encompasses techniques used for land consolidation, erosion protection, the stabilisation of slopes and embankments, and the environmental restoration of degraded areas.

Its main characteristic is the combined use of natural materials, living plant material, timber, soil and stone. The objective is not only to retain the soil immediately, but also to support progressive stabilisation, in which vegetation and root systems contribute to consolidating the structure.

The most common applications include:

-slope consolidation
-stabilisation of erosion-prone slopes
-retaining structures
-maintenance of riverbanks and roadside verges
-restoration of green and forest areas
-agricultural applications
-restoration of degraded areas, and this is precisely where Plury comes into play
Cangeo Plury: vibratory pile driving for nature-based engineering projects

In nature-based engineering projects, pile installation is a key stage. The quality of the driving process affects the stability of the structure, the alignment of its components and overall jobsite efficiency.

Plury by Cangeo is the vibratory drive unit designed for the vibro-driving and extraction of wooden, concrete and steel piles. It is a solution developed for a variety of applications, including retaining structures, land maintenance, agricultural installations and work on slopes.

Through vibration, Plury transfers energy to the pile in a controlled manner, facilitating its penetration into the ground and reducing the need for manual intervention during the most critical stages.

For the operator, this means working directly from the machine cab, with concrete benefits in terms of safety, precision and work management.

Its versatility makes it suitable for variable jobsite conditions, where the soil, accessibility, slopes and type of pile may change. It becomes a valuable ally in nature-based engineering operations, also thanks to the possibility of positioning the pile while working horizontally. Plury delivers vibratory force exactly where it is needed: on the pile, into the ground and at the heart of the operation.
