Tracto-Technik Presents 10th Hands-On Days
According to this new claim Tracto-Technik (TT) presented its complete range of no-dig systems during the 10th “Hands on Days” held Sept. 16 – 26.
More than 600 visitors from Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa and the United States received an in-depth experience of TT’s trenchless technologies in theory and practice during the event held at TT headquarters in Lennestadt, Germany.
In addition to the popular live demonstrations, the multi-lingual program included a factory tour for early birds, a choice of 30 lectures by speakers from TT and exhibiting partner companies Bagela, Föckerperger, Hauff-Technik, Bohrtec, Prime Drilling and RSP which encompasses TT’s complete system solutions.
After the lectures there was plenty of time to talk shop with exhibitors about their system-relevant products and to attend the live demonstrations of the latest equipment. Trade visitors could test the machines and exchange experiences. In co-operation with the partner company, Prime Drilling from Wenden/Germany, the complete range of HDD technology from mini-bore rigs to large drilling rigs was operated live.
The Grundomat soil displacement hammer has even gained more appeal, especially with regards to the growing number of fiber-to-the-home property service connections. The Grundomat unit is 45 or 55 mm diameter that is started out of the building while simultaneously pulling in a 32 mm diameter PE protection pipe. The core bore through the brick wall is sealed to make it gas- and water-proof using a special wall duct. All works can be carried out completely without trenches except for the connection to the main pipeline in the street.
The use of soil displacement hammers for installing geothermal ground loop up to 10-meters long was also demonstrated live.
