TT Technologies Introduces
Specialty Winch Boom
T
T Technologies recently unveiled a new winch boom
specially designed to aid in reversible pipe bursting
operations. The new boom provides extra clearance
in the manhole or exit pit to al-
low for the easy removal of the
pipe bursting expander during
reversible bursting projects. The
boom’s unique enclosed sheave
configuration provides optimum
winch cable alignment and
helps facilitate the space-saving
design. The boom also features
adjustable bracing legs for added
stability.
During the reversible bursting
process, a Grundocrack straight
barrel tool, equipped with a
front expander, is placed into the host pipe at an entry pit or
manhole. A constant tension Grundowinch guides it through
the host pipe. The Grundocrack effectively hammers its way
through the host pipe, displacing the fragments into the sur-
rounding soil while simultaneously pulling the new pipe. At
the manhole, the front expander is disconnected and the tool
is reversed through the newly installed pipe and removed.
