Pipe Thrust Machine – Trenchless Pipeline Installation
At MCM Plumbing, we utilize advanced trenchless technology—like our hydraulic pipe thrust machine—to install underground pipelines with minimal surface disruption. This method is ideal for infrastructure crossings and tight-access projects where open trenching is not feasible.
What is a Pipe Thrust Machine?
A pipe thrust machine is a high-powered hydraulic system that clamps and drives pipe lengths underground using steady, controlled force. Often used with auger boring or horizontal directional drilling (HDD), it enables precise pipeline installation beneath roads, railways, and other surface structures without excavation.
Benefits of Pipe Thrusting
- Trenchless efficiency – No need for open excavation or large trenches
- Ideal for long or deep runs – Push pipe through soil, clay, or rock
- Minimal surface restoration – Reduces landscaping, concrete, or asphalt repairs
- Fast and accurate – Streamlined setup and controlled thrusting
- Pipe compatibility – Works with HDPE, steel, ductile iron, and more
Common Applications
- Water mains and service lines
- Sewer and stormwater pipeline projects
- Utility conduit installation (electrical, gas, fiber optic)
- Under-roadway or driveway crossings
- Trenchless solutions for both rural and urban areas
