TT-UK attended the Highways & Utilities Innovations Day held at Longbridge, Warwickshire on 10th February 2010. The event, organised in partnership with West Midlands HAUC, Severn Trent Water and Enterprise, ensured that the day was packed full of live demonstrations in a practical hands-on working environment. Due to popular demand, the organisers requested that TT-UK carry out live demonstrations of their market-leading Grundomat Impact Moling Trenchless pipe and cable laying equipment.

Eye witnesses to the demonstrations were guests from the UK Department for Transport, including Patricia Hayes, Director of Policy, as well as a cross-section of visitors from Local Authorities and agencies.

The Grundomats were accurately operated by TT-UK’s Training Manager, Lloyd Richards, whilst a running commentary on Grundomat’s trenchless applications was given by Jim Albarella, TT’s Customer Services Manager. The assembled group showed their appreciation for the accuracy and speed as the impact mole moved from a pre-excavated launch to exit pit.

TT-UK’s mobile exhibition bus was also on view, displaying not only the Grundomat range, but also the Grundoburst on-line pipe replacement system using the advanced Quicklock rod technology available in models from the manhole launched Grundoburst 400S (45 tonnes) up to the massive Grundoburst 2500G (250 tonnes) for the replacement and upsizing of sewer mains and pipes up to 1,000mm.

TT-UK would like to thank the organisers and visitors for their support and encouragement in the practical demonstrations on a particularly freezing-cold day.
