Pipe Ramming With Grundoram®

Whatever direction your work takes you, Grundoram can handle it . . . from conventional horizontal pipe ramming to vertical pile driving. The Grundoram pneumatic pipe ramming tool is used for the trenchless installation of steel pipe through a wide variety of soil types, without any rise or fall in the ground’s surface. Some trenchless casing installation methods are impaired or even rendered inoperable by rock or boulder filled soils. During the pipe ramming process however, boulders and rocks as large as the casing itself are “swallowed up” as the casing moves through.

Trenchless Casing Installation through Pneumatic Pipe Rammer

Pipe ramming for horizontal, vertical, and angled installation of steel pipes or casings. Additionally the Grundoram can be used to assist or salvage directional drilling operations.

Pipe Ramming Overview

The Grundoram pneumatic pipe rammer attaches to the back of steel pipes or casings and hammers them into the ground. Pipe can be driven as one continuous run or in sections depending on the space available at the insertion site. As the pipe rammer pushes the pipe or casing through the soil, rocks and other obstacles are “swallowed up.” Spoil is removed by using compressed air and/or water, augers, or skid steers on larger diameter casings.

Trenchless Technology Benefits

  • Grundoram is completely self-contained for fast, efficient, and safer installations of steel casings.
  • Faster installation of large pipe without ground slumping
  • Works equally well in confined & ample work areas
  • Swallows rock up to the diameter of the new casement
  • Minimal disruption to traffic, buildings, and other utilities
  • Avoids sizable surface damage and costly restoration required for old trenching methods
  • Accelerated project completion timeline
  • Easy to set up and operate
