EQUIPMENT PROCUREMENT RELATIONS

GEONEX HORIZONTAL HAMMER BORING SYSTEMS

KUE’s relationship with Geonex, a Horizontal Hammer Boring (HHB) equipment manufacturer and solutions supplier based in Finland, brings ground-breaking technology to the North American trenchless industry. KUE’s Equipment Specialist, Paul Wilkinson, is working with Geonex to market their remarkable HHB equipment that works efficiently and reliably in mixed ground and hard rock conditions with steel cased installations extending to 150 meters in length. Geonex’s range also includes equipment for unsupported rock bores reaching to diameter dependent lengths of 1000-ft to 1500-ft. Where practicable, first stage steerable 6-inch pilot holes can be reamed to 48-inches. It doesn’t stop there either as retractable heads bring specialized blind hole applications into play, such as rock contact starter casings for HDD. HHB is ideally suited for underground infrastructure solutions for telecommunications, power cables, water and raw water pipelines along with oil and gas lines.

Geonex's HHB technology was the NASTT Innovative Product Award winner for New Pipe Installation at the 2019 No-Dig show in Chicago. Click here for more information on how Geonex and KUE can help with your next trenchless project.

Delta Civil Engineering Co. Ltd.

Delta Civil Engineering has been in the Trenchless industry for over 35 years and owns several laser guided, fully steerable single pass RVS Auger Microtunneling Systems. The RVS is highly compatible with projects in North America that are currently serviced by conventional auger boring systems, with the added value of increased operational capabilities (drive lengths up to 500-ft & ground conditions from sand thro silt to clay with up to 6-ft heads of water) and higher installation accuracies equivalent to slurry MTBMs.

In direct comparison with slurry technologies, the RVS offers benefits of dry muck handling, smaller shaft compounds, an on board pipe handling gantry crane (to DN 700), reduced crew size, reduced generator size, lower transport costs and a smaller carbon footprint. In summary, the RVS can be an optimum solution for cohesive and most low water bearing grounds.

In partnership with KUE, the equipment is offered on operated hire and 2nd hand sales terms for the single pass and direct installation of Clay / RCP Jacking Pipes (DN 450, 600, 700 & 900 mm) and Steel Casings (24, 30, 36 & 42-inch). For more information click here.
