PIPE THRUSTER TECHNOLOGY as key innovation:

POWERFUL TOOL FOR 5 DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS.

1. PIPE ASSIST TOOL FOR HDD DURING PIPE PULL-IN.

2. RECOVERY OF STUCK OR DAMAGED PIPELINE.

3. INSERTION OF PRODUCT PIPELINE IN EXISTING TUNNEL.

4. THE DIRECT PIPE® -METHOD.

5. PIPE EXPRESS®

DIRECT PIPE® Technology.


HDD vs. DIRECT PIPE ®– Downhole pressure with HDD.


THE DIRECT PIPE® METHOD - Advantages

Applicable in almost all geological conditions.

Borehole is supported at all times.

One pass installation from one side.

Slurry discharge through the pipeline.

High alignment accuracy compared to HDD.

Minimum ’frac-out’ risk.

Application range.


Working under groundwater, no lowering of ground water table

Simultaneous trenching and pipe laying

Minimum impact on flora and fauna

No components & cutting transport inside the pipeline

No drilling fluid for transport of cuttings -> no separation plant necessary

Less pipe-laying equipment needed on jobsite
