Trenchless Push Pipe
Typically used to install a pipeline in urban areas where digging an open trench would pose a problem (under roads for example.) Typical method requires drilling two pits (one at the start and one at the end of the borehole.) The rod is drilled from one pit to another by advancing the drill string on a required grade with the use of a guidance system. The pipeline is then installed into the hole with the use of a back reamer. Matrix push pipe features a proprietary drip valve design to reduce lubrication losses.
