Homeowner’s expensive driveway remains untouched<\/h3>\n

\"HenleyDescription
\n<\/u><\/strong>tRiiO approached KOBUS Services to utilise the KOBUS Integrated 400 Series Pipe Puller in Leicester on a particularly awkward gas service pipe replacement. \u00a0The property had a newly laid, and expensive driveway\/pathway, which would be expensive and time consuming to reinstate.\u00a0 There were also drains running across the path of the pipe to be replaced, and power cables in close proximity, which made moling difficult.<\/p>\n

The pipe being replaced was galvanised steel, \u00be\u201d and it was a short side replacement from the pavement outside the property.\u00a0 Length of pipe was 15m.\u00a0 Soil was clay.<\/p>\n

Outcomes
\n<\/u><\/strong>The pipe replacement was completed in just over 1 hour including the preparation of the Pipe Puller onto the mini excavator, and excavation of a small hole to the rear where the service pipe entered the property. \u00a0The extraction of the old pipe and replacement with new, took 5 minutes.<\/p>\n

The work was undertaken under standard National Grid\/tRiiO health & safety procedures. There were no reported incidents in respect of either service strikes (HSG47) or operator activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
