The benefits of Trenchless Moling
Moling technology is widely-used and ever increasing in the civil engineering fields. Compared to open-trenching this method of underground installation and renewal of supply and disposal pipelines has major technical and economic advantages. Shorter construction times is a major advantage; especially when providing property service connections like fibre installations or electrical cabling and when crossing busy roads.
GRUNDOMAT soil displacement hammers
The pneumatically driven GRUNDOMAT “moles” have been synonymous with accurate underground pipe installation and representative of trenchless “mole technology”. When driving the GRUNDOMAT forward the soil is displaced into the surrounding soil and compacted. This creates a line channel into which short pipes with smooth sockets, which do not protrude on the outside, long pipes up to OD 180 made of plastic, or cables are pulled in immediately or subsequently over lengths of up to 25m. The 2-stroke method guarantees the GRUNDOMAT’s aiming accuracy. In addition, the soil displacement hammers can be applied horizontally and vertically for further applications.
GRUNDOBURST STATIC PIPE BURSTING SYSTEMS
GRUNDOBURST rigs are perfectly equipped for pipe renewal using the static pipe bursting method. Damaged pipes up to ND 1,200 can be replaced in the existing route using static pulling force. The versatile pulling rigs can also be used for other forms of pipe rehabilitation and repair. Areas of application sewer, gas and water.
