BM400

Method Of Operation

1. Assisted by pilot pipes equipped with optical passage, pilot head, and theodolite with CCD camera and monitor, open-open directionally controlled drilling can be carried out in displaceable ground.
2. The pilot pipe is thrust through the ground and into the reception pit. The direction and tilt are monitored throughout the process using the theodolite, ccd camera, monitor and diode target.
3. The next step is the auger boring, the lead auger connects to the last pilot rod and follows the accurate line of the pilot rods. The excavated material travels down the steel casings to a skip placed inside the frame of the auger rig. This eliminates the need for manual handling of material.
4. Insertion of the product pipes is the last step by way of jacking the product pipes directly behind the steel casings.
5. Alternatively, an extension kit with a direct engine can be connected. The product pipe is jacked in whilst the soil is excavated at the extension kit and transported in to the target shaft by reversing the direction of the augers.
