SPLASHTRON® The Perfect Coating For Pulling:
For river or road crossings, when corrosion and site conditions are tough, "Splashtron" from Mark Tool Co. is the coating of choice.
Horizontal drilled crossings have many advantages. Horizontal drilled crossings of pipelines - whether for rivers, beaches, or roads- have numerous advantages over their above-ground counterparts, from cost-saving to preserving the environment.
Conventional dredge or bridge crossings are expensive to install and require continued maintenance. Trenchless construction, on the other hand:
-
Eliminates navigational hazards and can be accomplished without interrupting traffic.
-
Has a lower initial cost and a cost saving in time because permits are generally faster and easier to obtain.
-
Provides a wider work window because weather, water, or road conditions do not affect drilling or pipe installation.
-
Leaves bank, river bottoms, and road beds undisturbed - eliminating harmful effects on fish, vegetation, and the natural ecology.
-
Can be maintenance-free.
Pullback critical part of pipeline project.
Once the river or road crossing is complete, the critical part of the project lies ahead - the pullback.
Intermittent pulling and stopping to weld sections could cause the reamed whole to collapse or become partially obstructed, thereby forcing abandonment of the nearly-completed pipeline project. In addition, the pull can damage the integrity of the coating material; eventually the pipe itself. The quality of the coating material and its strength, flexibility, and corrosion protection are paramount to a successful drilled crossing.
