A smaller all round rig capable of installing conduits in all ground conditions including softer rocks.
Vermeer D36 x 50 (16 tonne) HDD Rig
When you need a mid-sized drill with big features, look no further than the Vermeer D36x50. Its narrowly designed rack and pinion design helps to maintain a small footprint for access into congested areas. The D36x50 is built to perform a wide range of medium diameter, mod-to-long distance utility installations.
Ditchwitch AT3020 (7.5 tonne) HDD
The AT3020 All Terrain HDD system can steer, drill and back ream in just about any type of ground, including rock. With its narrow footprint this HDD rig is most suited for the installation of utilities in the tight confines of the urban street.
Pipe Bursting
Grundoburst 800G
This self-contained hydraulically powered compact pipe bursting unit provides incredible power and speedy installation. Using the TT patented QuickLock bursting rods, cast iron, asbestos, concrete and ductile iron mains can be easily replaced with new polyethylene or PVC pipe – either size for size or up-sizing to a new internal diameter can be achieved.
Tunneling
Auger Boring
Pilot Tube Microtunneling (Guided Boring Machine)
mts 1000 S/M/L Slurry Microtunneling System
