Cost savings by combinding trenchless ploughing with LV

Combining trenchless ploughing-in techniques with our LV reeling technology the installation cost savings can be orders of magnitude. Ploughs of this type are capable of simultaneous burying of 2 x DN315 pipes. Reeled pipe feeds also assist by direct in-line pay-off whilst the ploughing occurs so there are no long pre-strung lengths sat in the extremes of ambient temperature. The obvious savings occur with minimal or zero butt welding teams having to make clinical environment joints in these extreme conditions. The larger sizes above DN180 require LV and straightening on site but this does not slow the ploughing-in speeds, only providing a final manipulation to ensure ease of installation. Branch and distribution line pipe installations also benefit from Low Ovality Technology in its original free standing coil formats that can be utilised in urban areas.

Complementary processes further enhance and exploit the overall effectiveness of longer continuous pipe lengths. A partner company has patented portable extrusion line technology that operates from linked container sized units to provide a localised pipe production base feeding pipe in reel or coil sizes normally considered too large for un-escorted highway transportation. Rehabilitation projects using Swagelining or Slip lining can also be enhanced by removing the need to string out long butt welded lengths which require de-beading, sometimes both internally and externally.
