No Dig Equipment

No Dig Equipment manufactures a range of Microtunneling equipment capable of installing pipe sizes from 150mm to 350mm in diameter. The move into the trenchless market was largely encouraged by the 10 year ‘Infill Sewerage’ project, instigated by the WA Water Corporation. The machinary was speciffically designed to cater for the installation of 150 and 225 diameter PVC sewer pipe, which are the most common sizes used in this project.

Our companies B110 microtunneler was specifically designed to be man handled into places which would normally be inaccessible by conventional construction equipment. The equipment is so small that it can fit through a standard household door. This means that it is possible to utilise this machine with a minimum of disruption to housholders and their properties.

The B110 is lightweight, high powered machine, which is capable of 11T of thrust force and 1,400Nm of torque. This is coupled to a petrol or diesel hydraulic power pack, capable of delivering70 L/m at 2500PSI pressure.

Typically 150mm sewer pipe is installed to grades of 1/200. In good sandy ground conditions this machine has achieved bores in excess of 40m in length and to millimeter accuracy. Generally the machine is operated from inside a standard backhoe trenching box, however timber sets to 3.5m deep and steel caisson shafts have also proved very successful.
