Diaphragm Wall Technology 2.0: BCS 185 Power Pack Paves the Way for Emission-Free Construction
Major projects such as the construction of subway stations impose high demands. Particularly in densely populated metropolitan areas, construction equipment must not only operate efficiently but also minimize local impacts such as noise, dust, and emissions. Additionally, limited space conditions require customized solutions. And this is precisely where Bauer’s new BCS 185 power pack comes in: It combines high flexibility with a pioneering drive concept.

The centerpiece of the innovation is the modular drive system. Depending on the project conditions, users can choose between a diesel aggregate or an electric power pack. While the diesel engine allows operation even in areas without grid infrastructure, the electric power pack offers an emissions-free and quiet alternative – ideal for noise-sensitive environments. With its interchangeable modules, the BCS 185 power pack is also prepared for future drive technologies. Furthermore, the power pack can be placed flexibly at different positions on the equipment or even remotely – an invaluable benefit on sites with limited space.
Noise Reduction With Modern Drive Technology
Particularly in densely populated urban areas, noise pollution is a crucial issue. The BCS 185 power pack performs impressively in this regard thanks to its innovative design. The diesel aggregate HD 1400 can be equipped with a Silent Kit, while the HE 1400 electric power pack enables a significant further reduction in noise levels.
Until 2027, the Bauer BCS 185 power pack will be used at several new stations on Paris Line 15 to carry out diaphragm wall work

On the Job at France’s Largest Infrastructure Project
The BCS 185 power pack is demonstrating its performance capacity in active operation on the Grand Paris Express project. Here, diaphragm walls are being constructed at depths of up to 80 m, right in the heart of one of Europe’s busiest cities. Thanks to its compact design and rapid operational readiness, the system enables efficient operations under challenging conditions. Until 2027, it will be used on multiple stations for Line 15, making a crucial contribution to this groundbreaking infrastructure project.
