BURSTING

Pow-R Mole Trenchless Solutions PD-33M

The PD-33M pipe bursting machine from Pow-R Mole Trenchless Solutions is designed to replace existing underground pipes 2 to 6 inches in diameter. Its nonslip, cylinder-activated jaws prevent cable damage while providing 60,000 pounds of pulling force. It offers a cost-effective alternative to opencut excavation, reducing customer disruption and increasing company profits. The process replaces the existing pipe with a fused HDPE pipe, which eliminates all joints and allows the operator to pull through bends such as 45-degree fittings. This system is modular and can be easily disassembled and reassembled for manhole and basement applications. With a compact design and very small footprint of only 20 by 20 inches, this unit can be used in tight locations. 800-344-6653; www.powrmole.com

RODDIE R8

The R8 pipe bursting system from RODDIE is easy to use and lightweight, can be set up vertically or horizontally, and can also be adjusted to use three different size cables. This unit can replace 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 6- and 8-inch pipes with ease and speed. Inexpensive cable grabbing inserts last 70 to 120 jobs, which reduces costs. High-quality tool steels on articulating bursting heads promote rare resistance for long-lasting service. The pulling rate is 8 feet per minute and is hydraulically powered from your tractor, providing a pulling force of 30 tons. The wireless remote system is reliable and has a signal strength that moves through any cellar wall. Maintaining the system is simple, as the user only needs to rinse off and re-grease six Zerk fittings. 888-406-3821; www.roddieunderground.com

PIPE RELINING EQUIPMENT

Flow-Liner Systems Neofit+Plus Expandable Pressure Pipe

Neofit+Plus Expandable Pressure Pipe from Flow-Liner Systems is a trenchless technology that creates an impenetrable barrier between drinking water and the existing host pipe. Host pipes (like lead and copper) can leach dangerous levels of toxic materials in your drinking water. The Neofit+Plus EPP structural material has been scientifically proven by examining extensive hydrolysis testing, indicating it will last well over 100 years. It often only requires a single small access pit, saving yards, trees, sidewalks and floors from demolition. The speedy process allows for many installations a day and immediate return to service. 800-348-0020; www.flow-liner.com

FORMADRAIN Formapox 101

Formapox 101 from FORMADRAIN is a durable steam-cured liner that eliminates the mess and cost of traditional dig-and-replace methods. It is made from a watertight, thin, yet extremely strong composite material and a specially formulated resin. The liner is bright blue in color. It is the mainstay of the company’s pushed- or pulled-in-place, steam-cured, fiberglass and epoxy underground pipe repair system. It can be used in line sizes from 2 to 48 inches. The repair is so thin that pipes sustain their original flow capacities, even with a liner installed in such small diameters. 888-337-6764; www.formadrain.com

Logiball 2001L packers

Logiball 2001L packers are used to test and seal injection-grouted lateral connections at a predetermined length of the laterals (up to 30 feet).

Pipeline Renewal Technologies SpeedyLight+

SpeedyLight+ from Pipeline Renewal Technologies is LED-based UV light-curing technology for trenchless pipe rehab that requires less time and energy and is less disruptive to communities and businesses. Closures are minimal and work can be completed without having to relocate occupants. LED UV cure eliminates safety risks such as the wrong mixing of resins or dealing with boiler systems. There are no working time considerations, as you turn the light on and off any time you want to stop or start the cure. Interchangeable camera heads show operators what’s happening underground, giving them the ability to control the speed and accuracy of the cure. It cures felt or GFRP liner and can cure 90-degree bends in lines down to 2 inches, as well as transitions and verticals. 866-936-8476; www.pipelinert.com

Spartan Tool LightRay LR3

The LightRay LR3 LED UV system, a collaboration between Spartan Tool and Waterline Renewal Technologies, provides the time and flexibility to install, then cures in as little as 10 minutes when the light is activated. The technology can significantly reduce costs and risks when compared to traditional thermo-setting or ambient-cured CIPP liners, creating new opportunities for drain cleaning contractors. The curing process doesn’t start until the UV light is activated, giving the operator time to place and readjust the liner in the pipe as needed. Its non-VOC resin is pre-impregnated into the high-performance fiberglass liner and shipped ready to install, so there’s no mixing or measuring of resin. 800-435-3866; www.spartantool.com
