Innovations, Products, Services

ICUEE connects utilities and construction contractors with the leading manufacturers and service providers to discuss the latest innovations, and

American Polywater . Booth #3657

Akkerman guided boring contractors are tackling up to 42-inch steel
casing installations in rock with
the Rock Drill Adapter (RDA) and
Guide Rod Swivel (GRS) 50. The RDA
provides a means for accurate pilot
tube installation in rock formations
up to 18,000 psi using TriHawk drill
bits. To follow the pilot tubes, the
GRS-50 family matches common
steel casing diameters and functions
to keep pilot tubes stationary. At the
same time, the assembly's cutter
head, equipped with durable carbide
gage cutter bit tooling, excavates
difficult ground and is able to
withstand continuous thrust loads
up to 50 tons.

American Polywater Corporation's
Electro Fusion Wipe (EFW) cleans the
oxidation layer on gas, water, electrical, communication and sewer pipes
prior to the electro or butt fusion
process. These wipes are larger in
size and can clean more area prior to
shaving the pipe. EFW can be used
to clean off pipe shavers or any contaminant that could interfere with a
good fusion splice with HDPE pipe.

American Augers ...... Booth #K125

American Augers is launching
the DD-240 Directional Drill and
M-300D Mud Cleaning System
to the HDD market at ICUEE in

products, the company will offer
three live product demonstrations
each day where attendees can learn
about auger boring, directional
drilling, and mud cleaning. Demonstration times will be announced
on the website and displayed at the
booth. This is a chance for attendees
to experience the only electric auger
boring machine on the market, and
test the sand content from the allnew M-300D.

Condux Tesmec ........ Booth #L180

Barbco will demonstrate its new,
advanced Flexbor system, designed
to virtually eliminate inadvertent
returns that are associated with HDD.
It also reduces expenses by requiring
one head to create the needed hole
diameter and often shortening the
length needed to install the product.
This gets the machine's centerline
on, or close to, the elevation of the
proposed bore. The Flexbor system
protects wetlands from inadvertent release of drilling fluids in a
cost-effective, environmentally safe,
trenchless manner. To take a closer
look at this innovative product, stop
by the booth for demonstration
times.
