Grundomat Trenchless Equipment

Grundomat pneumatic piercing tools have been providing accurate horizontal bores beneath roads, railways, and landscaping around the world for nearly 45 years. Water, gas, sewer and electrical industries have all benefited from this work horse of trenchless technology. Minimal operating space is required and the horizontal boring tool serves as a complement, and in many situations an economical alternative to, larger, more expensive directional drilling equipment.

Piercing Tool Capability:

Grundomat can perform accurate horizontal bores from 50 to 150 feet in length. The pneumatic piercing tool can be used in all displaceable soils: sand, loam and even gravel and is easily configured to pull in a wide variety of new pipe materials.
