TT Technologies off ers a pipe rammer and
bentonite system package for oil and gas
pipeline installation projects. It features an
18-inch diameter Grundoram Goliath pneumatic
pipe ramming system and a Grundomudd 500
bentonite mixing/delivery system.
During the ramming process the rammer
is attached to the rear of the casing. The tool
then drives the pipe through the ground
with repeated percussive blows. The Goliath
rammer installs steel pipes and casings from
24 to 56 inches in diameter. It can also be
used for the slick-bore process, installing a
bore pipe, which, when removed, pulls the
product pipe into place.
Ramming provides accurate installation of
casing in a wide range of soil without surface
slump, making it ideal for installations under
railways and roads. The pipeliner package is
also useful in HDD assist and rescue applications:
to salvage product pipe after a failed
bore, install Conductor Barrel casings, remove
stuck drill stems, and assist drills during product
pullback, preventing hydrolock.
The company also unveiled its latest
compact directional drill, the Grundodrill 5X.
Representing the most advanced directional drill
rig in its class, the unit features a Tier 4F, 56hp
Kohler engine, a single push button stake down
system and independent front and rear lift.
An all-weather 7-inch touchscreen display
delivers real-time bore data and operational
performance. The unit off ers 12,000 pounds
(48 Kn) of thrust and pullback and 1,200 foot/
pounds of torque.
for contractors and their working conditions,
is eff ective at removing a range of dirt, grease,
oil and other residue that contractors routinely
come into contact with. The wipes can also
be used to clean those same substances off
most tools and job-site equipment. Plus, the
wipes are perfect for cleaning up after outdoor
activities, yardwork or anytime you need to
cool down and wipe away the day.
Including Aloe and Vitamin E to soothe and
condition skin, fragrance-free Hercules for
Body are tough, large-size cloths that clean
without tearing and without leaving residue.
The new easy-to-grab, 8- by 10-inch cloths
cover more skin, which means contractors
need fewer towels to get clean.
Contractors can purchase Hercules for Body
at their local supply house to clean up before
heading home from the job. It's available in
80- and 30-towel packages.

Vermeer QuickDig Nozzle Delivers Productive,
Effi cient Hydro Excavation
The Vermeer QuickDig nozzle helps vacuum
excavation crews maximize their effi ciency
while potholing and daylighting utilities, hydro/
slot trenching, and digging pile holes.
With 18-degree cone rotation and laminar
fl ow design, Quick Dig is up to 35-percent
more effi cient than a traditional rotary nozzle.
All water molecules fl ow in the same direction at the same speed to slice through the ground
minimizing water use and delivering a high aperture of coverage.
The Vermeer QuickDig nozzle is durable, with a stainless-steel body and tungsten carbide
nozzle tip. Additionally, it can be rebuilt in the fi eld quickly using a QuickDig nozzle repair kit.
Contractors can choose from six sizes; each comes with a 0.5-inch (1.3-centimeter)
inlet connection (common on truck vacs) and a 0.25-inch 0(.6-centimeter) adapter
(common for trailer vacs).
All Vermeer truck vacuum excavators and many Vermeer trailer vacuum excavators built
in 2023 will come equipped with the QuickDig nozzle. Also, this latest technology in hydro
excavation will be available at Vermeer dealers throughout North America and is compatible
with most industry vacuum excavator makes and models.
" When it comes to potholing and hydro trenching, productive digging and effi cient water
usage helps crews maximize their time on the job, " said T.J. Steele, product manager for
Vermeer MV Solutions. " The Vermeer QuickDig nozzle is extremely effi cient with the water
used, so material doesn't become oversaturated during the digging and excavation process. It
helps crews maximize digging time from their onboard water tank, while extending their time
between emptying the spoil tank. " UI
