Bohrtec BM400LS auger boring rig

BM400LS

The BM400LS is an economical auger rig with a lot of practical possibilities. The jacking frame is designed as a modular system which allows for the use of different extensions for pipe lengths of up to 18m and drills can be performed either unguided or guided with high target accuracy. With this machine all economic advantages of guided auger boring (single and double wall pilot) can be used.

Due to the proven robust construction, drills can be performed up to an OD of 900mm in lengths of up to 120m and 3m below the ground-water table with the additional use of the patented "Bohrtec Water Auger".

The BM400LS can be equipped with a number of additional components:

  • Different drills heads for differing grounds and diameters
  • Soft drilling rock heads
  • Backreamer for the combination of guided pipe jackings and HDD

Features

  1. Accurate drives up to 100 m
  2. Short set-up time
  3. Easy to use
  4. Competitive - even when compared with open cut
  5. Steering principle: PILOT / GROUNDWATER PILOT

Auger Boring – Why It's Big In Berlin

Trenchless pipeline installation and rehabilitation is, in one sense, the Water Industry's equivalent of 'stealth' technology. When compared with open cut, it is very unobtrusive, often operating...
