Increased use of pipe bursting in the south of England

A major north of England-based utility contractor has recently expanded its pipe bursting capacity with acquisition of additional HB3038 Bursters through Hammerhead’s UK and Eire distributor Mammoth Equipment Ltd of Ely in Cambridgeshire.

The contractor, who already runs Hammerhead Equipment including HB3038 units in their existing fleet, completed a market evaluation of other pipe bursting systems prior to opting for the Hammerhead equipment. This evaluation included testing of all the major manufacturer’s equipment in the field before choosing Hammerhead.

Their decision was not only based on the results of these tests and evaluations, but also took into account several years of operational experience with the Hammerhead product in not only their own fleet, but also via rental use. They felt the HB3038 offered them a safe, high quality and cost-effective solution for their bursting requirements. The cost benefit analysis of the system was not limited to just the initial purchase, but covered ongoing maintenance, service and in field costs.

The equipment was supplied mounted to compact 3500kg drop side trailers with tailor made stillage’s for the main component items to ensure safe and controlled movement of the systems between sites.  Supplied ready to work with three, four and six inch bursting accessories the system feature high quality fully enclosed Kubota diesel hydraulic power-packs for long and trouble free operation.

Mammoth’s Managing Director, Russell Fairhurst was pleased to gain this up to date and positive feedback from the client on what they have always known is a market leading product.
