<\/a>Akkerman<\/h4>\r\nAkkerman guided boring contractors are tackling up to 42-in. steel casing installations in rock with the Rock Drill Adapter (RDA), the Guide Rod Swivel (GRS) 50 and the Rock Boring Unit (RBU). The RDA provides a means for an accurate pilot tube installation in rock formations up to 18,000 psi using TriHawk Drill Bits. To follow the pilot tubes, the GRS-50 family matches common steel casing diameters and functions to keep pilot tubes stationary while the assembly’s cutter head, equipped with durable carbide gage cutter bit tooling excavates difficult ground while able to withstand continuous thrust loads up to 50 tons.\r\n
