No Dig Obstruction Removal
RGL has developed a range of equipment and methodologies that clear metal and/or concrete obstructions from blocked pipes as small as 95mm in diameter. These no-dig technologies have been successfully deployed in a number of situations, avoiding costly excavations and associated disruption.
Specific successful applications to date:
- Removal of concrete obstructions from pipes of various diameters where standard drain jetting methods have failed.
- Cutting out of foundation pile sections that have penetrated and blocked/partially blocked drains/sewers
- Cutting out a section of Larson pile from 300mm flood plain overflow pipe and restoring flow
- Removing blockages/debris from inclinometer tubes without damaging the tube
In each case, RGL carried out a full survey and developed bespoke methodology and associated equipment for each application.
Obstruction Removal by Water Jet
Once it has been established that the pipe blockage cannot be removed by conventional drain cleaning, the correct setup can be selected
An example of this is when a rig is placed into a pipe/sewer, fixed in place, and then the UHP cutting nozzles cut through the obstruction.
Once the cut is completed, the obstruction can be removed using a vacuum.
In other applications, conventional jetting methods can be used to remove the obstruction after it has been cut.
RGL are the UK’s leading interface between water jetting technology and the job to be done.
