GRUNDOMAT-The crowning glory of soil displacement

The pneumatically driven hammers work according to the soil displacement method. When moving forward the spoil is displaced into the surrounding soil. That way a channel is produced into which socketless short or long pipes up to OD 160 made of plastic (PE, PVC or PE-X) or cables can be pulled in. Depending on the type of soil, lengths up to 25 m can either be pulled in successively or later on. A compressor with 6 - 7 bar operating pressure is required for this. Exact alignment of the machine with the target is necessary for a high aiming accuracy. To achieve this, the decisive factor is the 2-stroke principle. TRACTO-TECHNIK are among the first pioneers in the field of developing and manufacturing innovative systems for trenchless and non-invasive pipe installation. Lucas Plant Sales are delighted to team with TRACTO-TECHNIK to provide these quality products to the Irish market. Please contact us if you have any product or service related questions. SO, WHAT IS TRENCHLESS TECHNOLOGY? Trenchless Technology is the science of installing, repairing or renewing underground pipes, ducts and cables using techniques that minimise or eliminate the need for excavation. The use of such techniques can reduce environmental impact, social costs and at the same time provide economic alternatives to traditional open cut methods of installation, renewal or repair. Furthermore, disruption to traffic, buildings, and other utilities is lessened and construction time is reduced, which in turn help accelerate project completion times.
