MORTIMER ON THE MOVE

摘要

Hello, Mortimer here. Last summer I found myself in the sewers of Olathe, Kan., observing the installation of a 24-in. carrier pipe for a new sewer line. Boring contractor EJM Services really has its work cut out for them this time. Five bores in limestone, each a different length and depth, and still needing to maintain a .2 percent grade. The project started out with EJM using an auger machine, but because of the rocky ground conditions, they were unable to maintain a close enough grade to allow for the sewer line to pass inspection. EJM decided to try the Vermeer AXIS guided boring system.
