AKKERMAN GBM240

 

The Akkerman Guided Boring Machine (GBM) system offers accuracy in varying ground conditions for 4-24-in. OD pipe installations when the GBM is used independently . The GBM can be used in conjunction with an auger boring rig to provide an accurate line and grade guide for critical path and sewer grade cased bores. This ”Pilot Tube” system is an extremely useful alternative to our micro-tunneling steering head system when the ground condition demands it or if the job specifications call for it. The GBM jacking frame is compact and can be set in a 12’ diameter shaft and utilized to direct jack pipes such as “No-Dig” VCP in 3’ sections from 4”-24”.

MMTS Steering Head

 

Malcolm Micro-tunneling Systems Steering Heads available in 16” to 60”.

 ONE STEP CASING INSTALLATION

 Installs on-grade/on-line casings in a single pass compared to the multiple passes required with pilot tube guided boring.

 EFFICIENCY and  ACCURACY ON THE JOB

 Completes longer on-grade bores at reduced costs and overall project durations as compared to other methods. The steering system uses no piloting system and will render nominal accuracies of .05 feet vertically and 0.1 feet horizontally. This lateral reaction design is not prone to deflection like a pilot tube because the substantial size difference provides many times the bearing area and holding power.

BUILT-IN LEVEL SYSTEM

 Continuous  vertical leveling read out in the jacking pit with a  built-in pressure balanced hydraulic level system .

 CENTERLINE MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE

 Check and maintain the line throughout the bore with A Halogen Optical Alignment Hub enclosed in the steering head.
