HammerHead Trenchless Equipment, a Charles Machine Works company, announced July 20 that it has formed a strategic alliance with RS Lining Systems.
RS Technik manufactures rehabilitation product lines such as RS MaxPatch, a fast, trenchless, selective point repair system for pipes 3 to 48 inches in diameter. HammerHead officials say the alliance will complete the suite of nonintrusive rehabilitation solutions available to its customers.
“It’s exciting for us to be partnered with HammerHead,” says Joanne Carroll, senior vice president for RS Lining. “HammerHead is a significant leader in the industry, who provides trenchless solutions that effectively and economically address mounting underground infrastructure issues. Together we will significantly enhance the value to customers by delivering the industry’s most complete package of sustainable engineered solutions for trenchless pipeline repair.”
RS MaxPatch is the first of many solutions HammerHead customers now have access to and is already available for sale through HammerHead sales representatives and the company’s retail site www.hydraliner.com.
“Every RS Technik solution is fundamentally grounded in providing proven, effective and reliable alternatives to traditional pipe repair,” says Rick Johnson, HammerHead interim president and CEO of Charles Machine Works. “Combine their products with our HammerHead HydraLiner CIPP line of installation equipment and consumables — not to mention our full line of pipe bursting equipment — and our customers have access to every advantage possible for restoring gravity and pressure sewer, water and industrial pipe infrastructures.”
HammerHead Trenchless Equipment of Lake Mills, Wisconsin, manufactures a full line of pipe bursting, pipe ramming/HDD assist, pneumatic boring equipment, HDD tooling and accessories, and CIPP lateral lining systems and consumables.
“Our companies share that same entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for creating solutions for the underground infrastructure industry, which makes this union such a natural fit,” says Johnson. “We’re sure our customers will see that right away. Both companies are solution oriented and innovation driven. In the future, we’re even looking forward to the possibility of our R&D teams cooperating on the next generation of trenchless solutions.”
