U Mole Introduces TT’s ‘New’ GRUNDOMAT N To Product Portfolio
TT-UK has recently been working in co-operation with U Mole to supply them with soil displacement hammers.
U Mole has always endeavoured to offer their customers the very best products, tools and technical solutions for the Trenchless Technology Industry, tools which combine efficiency, performance and innovation and the latest addition to their portfolio, the Grundomat N is no exception.
The GRUNDOMAT N has a crowned head, triple gear control stud, with the frequency and speed of the striking impact being chosen via two forward gears. This means that boring speeds can be altered to adapt to various soil conditions and provides smooth and constant propulsion; particularly useful at the start of the bore process and during alignment. In fact it can be used in applications which other impact moles quite frankly would struggle with. With GRUNDOMAT N underground boring works are not only easier; they are safer, quicker and so more cost effective. Due to the GRUNDOMAT N’s stability in all soil types, jobs are completed in record time, so disruption to the public is kept to a minimum, impact on the environment is little and noise and dust emissions are almost non-existent.
With a simple quarter turn of the air hose, retrieval of the GRUNDOMAT N is
ensured, even when up against impenetrable soil conditions. The Sizes range
from 40 to 180mm diameter, with the length of the bore being relative to the diameter of the machine as well as the pipe/cable to be installed and prevailing soil conditions. The small diameter GRUNDOMAT N’s perform well within the requirements for both commercial and domestic utility service connections and are used over a wide variety of applications; with bore lengths in excess of 30m. The range of larger GRUNDOMAT N’s can install mains carrying pipes and cables, which includes the installation, replacement or repair & maintenance of Water, Gas and Sewer connections etc., as well as mini piling, and embankment tie rodding.
