Reamer Refurbishment Bringing Reamers Back from the Dead https://www.nodigequipment.com.au/latest/reamer-refurbishment https://www.nodigequipment.com.au/latest/reamer-refurbishment

Compaction reamers are a vital tool in the arsenal of any directional drilling job. The nature of their job means that they cop a lot of wear and abuse. The tough ground conditions reamers work in means that tungsten carbide bits can get smashed and hard facing worn away in an instant.

Reamers are an expensive part of your drilling package and generally a variety of reamers and sizes are required dependent on your ground conditions. Because of their cost it is imperative that they are kept in good condition so they can do their job as intended, but also that you are not replacing them unnecessarily due to wear or failure in the hole.

At No Dig Equipment we specialise in bringing your reamers back from the dead

300 Reamer 4 LR

Trenchless Solutions needed a 300mm custom Hole Opener in a hurry in order to meet a deadline on one of their construction project. The job involved installing a 225 sewer pipe on grade through solid Basalt.

To make things even more challenging it was required to receive the pilot bore from with in an existing manhole which had less than 900mm of space. The back reamer hole opener needed to be no more than 600mm in length, so it could be installed from inside the manhole in order to back ream the bored hole to its required size.

BB110

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 machinery was specifically 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.

New Town Toyota Victoria Park (Jan 2009)

New Towns expanding business had the requirement for some additional car servicing space. So when the opportunity came to acquire the Newspaper premises next door, they knew there was some work required in converting the old news paper house into a modern Toyota Service Center.

In order to facilitate the the wash down requirements of the new service center, a trenchless solution was sought to keep disruption and cost to a minimum.

The job required installation of approximately 140m of sub slab gravity drainage pipe in order to hook up a series of sumps for washing down the shop floor.  The propposed gravity drainage lines discharged to the outside of the building where the contaminated effluent was first treated prior to discharge into the public sewerage system.

Due to the sloping site, depths below the slab where up to 2.2m deep.

Here is some info sent in from a pipe bursting contractor who has obviously encountered some problems in the past.  It demonstrates some interesting solutions, so we thought we would pass it on to anyone who is interested.


"As we all learn, it is near impossible to crack through the old fashioned malleable cast iron items that can be encountered at times. We found several ways of dealing with these.

We sometime used a self propelled post hole digger and used that to bore down to the problem item.

Method No 1 - Call the nearest industrial gas suppliers, B.O.C had a mobile service in Brisbane, and a quick hit with a slug of liquid nitrogen will crack the iron ring item.

Method No 2 - Try the head down with an oxy torch method to cut the mongrel out and it works too but not easy. Difficult to prevent splatter getting on the mole body.

road_crossing_B250_Armadale

Building a new residential house always involve a lot of preparation work including installing the underground services before digging for the foundations : Gas, Water, Sewer pipelines and Telecommunications Cables. and drainage.

Garbut Drainage Contractors was contracted to install a drainage house connection. The problem for Garbut Drainage was that the main line was at the other side of the road making the installation a lot more difficult.

Since the local Shire does not permit open excavation across its existing road network, Garbut Drainage had to find another solution, instead of breaking the road, blocking the traffic and spend thousands of dollars in reinstatement and traffic management.

Therefore they choose a Trenchless solution which was safer, faster and without traffic disruption.

Garbut drainage engaged Westscope Contracting, who used a B250 Pilot Tube Microtunneling machine from No Dig Equipment to carry out the job.
