GRUNDOPIT KS50
Through the keyhole to the property service connection
With the “keyhole bore technique“, gas, water, power and FTTH service connections are installed, leading from the main line in the road through the smallest possible round working pit (keyhole with Ø 65 cm) directly into the house or a small assembly pit in front of the house.
- PROPERTY SERVICE CONNECTIONS
- For gas, water, power and data lines
- UNDERCROSSINGS
- Directional drilling beneath roads, railway tracks and buildings
- PARALLEL INSTALLATIONS
- Besides undercrossings, linear bore holes parallel to roads, bodies of water and buildings are some of the conventional applications.
Minimal intervention - Maximum effect
- Drilling from out of the smallest round work pit, keyhole Ø 65 cm
- Directional drilling with continuous detection
- Simple operation via control panel with colour display
- No pits on private properties, the bore hole can be drilled directly into the basement
- Minimum excavating works – the job cannot be done with less
- Only very small work area required, minor affect on traffic
- Eco-friendly and gentle installation method
- Minimal drilling fluid requirements
- No elaborate asphalting necessary for restoring the keyhole
- All connection works are carried out from the surface
- Bore lengths up to 50 m
- Pipe diameter up to 90 mm
