The TCZ range are the machines you need when second best won't do. The design enables them to bore in various soil types ranging from Sand, Clay, Sandstone, Limestone and Wet Sand.
The machines have a 100% drive success rate and with targets ranging from less than +/-20mm over 150 meters with extreme precision they are essential for all your infill sewerage projects.
Once the planned installation line is drawn up and surveyed, a shaft is then excavated at both ends of the pipeline. The machine and boring head are installed into the Jacking Pit where the cutting head and pipes are then attached. The machine is jacked forward boring through the soil while feeding new pipes, at the same time removing the excess soil by a slurry process, this process continues until you reach the receiving pit, your pipeline is then complete.
This method of installing pipes is extremely cost effective and environmentally friendly.
Depending on the pipeline required various types of pipe can be used including PVC, Concrete, Hobas and Steel.
