Older bare steel piping often lacks a protective coating, which can cause the steel to corrode and deteriorate faster than other materials. Having efficient and cost-effective replacement methods for these kinds of pipes is critical. The SLX1300 trenchless pipe extraction system from HammerHead Trenchless is designed specifically for the replacement of those older small-diameter steel natural gas services.
The SLX1300 can be used to replace coated and bare steel gas service lines 0.5 to 1.25 inches in diameter, up to 100 feet in length. The hydraulically powered unit produces up to 13.3 tons of pulling force to extract the pipe from the ground, while simultaneously
