TT-UK Trains in Saudi Arabia
October 27, 2011
The major city expansion both in Jeddah and Riyadh will require the increased use of trenchless technologies (currently known in the region as No Dig Road Crossing – NDRC) as the industrial and
commercial demand increases for fiber-optic cable networks and increased water and sanitation capacities.
The operational training consisted of trial bores using Grundomats 45- and 75-mm diameter models for the under road and property service connections to install 32- and 63-mm diameter PE pipes.
Precise target accuracy is the main reason for Grundomats international success, which is achieved with the unique two-stroke impact moving head method.
Should a buried obstacle be encountered and forward propulsion hindered, the chisel/multi-cutter cone in the reciprocating head will continue “chiseling” independently until the obstruction is fragmented and displaced.
