Kobus Pipe Puller goes to Netherlands!
Gas pipe removal in Netherlands is becoming increasingly significant. Many contractors have to remove old decommissioned gas service pipes as part of a larger contract.
The Kobus Pipe Puller can minimise the potential risk of damaging surrounding utilities during service pipe replacement. By contrast, moling increases the risk of dangerous strikes.
Reduce local disruption and damage to property. Find out how the Pipe Puller replaced a supply pipe under a block paved driveway without removing a single block paving stone!
Trenchless technology is preferrable to reduce disruption during service pipe replacement. How does the Pipe Puller improve productivity reducing time and costs compared to open cut trenching?
Kobus supplies a specially designed pulling cable which comes complete with integral ferrule and expander. The ferrule allows attachment to the new pipe so it can be towed in behind the old pipe. The expander opens up the bore hole behind the old pipe. The cable is ready to use without the need for any fiddly assembly on site.
The 360 degree rotatable foot section allows the excavator to be positioned anywhere on the side of the pit to give optimum access. The rotation of the foot in any direction enables the Puller to be quickly positioned and adjusted without repositioning the excavator for optimum efficiency in operation.
