McLaughlin Introduces
Steerable Auger Boring
In Fractured, Solid Rock
M
McLaughlin has introduced a
new auger boring machine that
is steerable in both fractured and
solid rock to PSI ratings of 25,000
pounds.
"The SRS steerable rock system
IS designed to navigate not only
solid rock, but also difficult fractured rock formations, allowing an
operator to keep bores on-line and
-grade in the toughest conditions,"
said Dave Gasmovic, McLaughlin
Group business development manager. "The SRS is a one-pass system
and unlike pilot tube equipment,
does not require two passes."
Gasmovic said availability is
limited now, with full production
scheduled in 2018.

The system can be set up to bore
in diameters of 36, 42, 48 and 60
inches.
Gasmovic explained how the
unique design of the cutting head
sets the SRS apart from other guided boring equipment it has 6½inch disc cutters and Kennametal
picks that cut hard solid rock, and
breaking soft and fractured rock.
The large opening at the front of
the cutting head allows fractured
rock to enter.
On grade
Hydraulic flaps are adjusted to
change direction of the cutting
head.
"Grade,"
Gasmovic said,
"is monitored with
a water level - still the
most accurate way to monitor
grade for sewer installations. Line
is monitored by using two plum
bobs and two LED lights mounted
in the head. Sighting the lights
with the plum bob tells the operator if the bore path is left or right
of the target."
Maximum bore lengths to 600
feet are possible, depending on diameter of pipe and soil conditions.
The footprint of the SRS varies
with setup, but a starting pit of 12
by 34 feet is typically sufficient.
The unit is powered by any ABM
power source with 100 horsepower.
McLaughlin is based in Greenville, SC. In addition to auger boring machines, the company manufactures vacuum excavators, utility
locators, piercing tools, compact
pit-launch directional drills, core
saws, and related equipment.
