TT Technologies
TT Technologies’ new winch boom is specially designed to aid in reversible pipe bursting operations. The new boom provides extra clearance in the manhole or exit pit to allow for the easy removal of the pipe bursting expander during reversible bursting projects. The boom’s unique enclosed sheave configuration provides optimum winch cable alignment and helps facilitate the space saving design. The boom also features adjustable bracing legs for added stability.
During the reversible bursting process, a Grundocrack straight barrel tool, equipped with a front expander is placed into the host pipe at an entry pit or manhole. A constant tension Grundowinch guides it through the host pipe. The Grundocrack effectively hammers its way through the host pipe, displacing the fragments into the surrounding soil, while simultaneously pulling the new pipe. At the manhole, the front expander is disconnected and the tool is reversed through the newly installed pipe and removed. 630.851.8200, www.tttechnologies.com
ID-TEC
ID-TEC presents their fifth piece of equipment for the Sewer Rehabilitation SERIES base robot, the Heavy grinding, milling and cutting equipment. The equipment has a 7-inch stroke and a very powerful 6,000 Watt, water driven, piston motor for cutting even the hardest materials.
ID-TEC developed the Twist-and-lock mechanism as a base for the multi-functional robot. This mechanism allows different equipment to be attached fast and secure to a base robot. The robot is able to do CCTV inspections, place packers and renovation parts, remove roots and other blockades, reinstate laterals and do grinding, milling and cutting operations in 7-inch and larger relined pipelines by only changing the equipment. 503.504.8474, www.id-tec.nl/usa
