Underground pipe installation using soil displacement hammers

Underground pipe installation using soil displacement hammers

A displacement hammer, driven by pneumatics, creates a cavity underground, ready for pulling in short or long pipes made of plastic (PE, PVC or PE-X) and metal (e.g. St), preferably without socket ends, up to DN 200, but also any type of cable in drill lengths up to 40 m (depending on the soil quality), either simultaneously or in a second working step. This allows trenchless traffic route crossings, private service line installations, the preparation of anchoring, by-passing obstacles and supporting further measures.
