Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) has become one of the most efficient methods for installing underground utilities with minimal surface disruption. Whether you’re installing water pipelines, electrical conduits, communications infrastructure, or gas services, a reliable towing head is an essential part of the pipe pullback process.
A cable sock, sometimes called a pulling sock or mesh grip, is a woven steel mesh device designed to grip cables, conduits, and pipes during installation.
As tension increases, the grip tightens around the cable, providing a secure pulling connection.
Installing underground conduit requires reliable equipment that can withstand significant pulling forces. Screw-in duct pullers provide a fast and effective method for pulling conduit and ducting through underground installations.
Pipe pullback is one of the most critical stages of any HDD project. When problems occur during pullback, delays, equipment damage, and costly rework can follow.
Here are five common causes of pullback failure.
HDPE pipe is widely used throughout Australia due to its durability, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. Successful installation, however, relies on using the right equipment.
No Dig Equipment is proud to have manufactured and supplied a custom 400mm HDD towing head for Kimberley Pipelines Pty Ltd., one of Western Australia’s leading pipeline installation specialists.
