Alongside HDD, open cut trenching and hydro excavation, we offer a high-quality, comprehensive HDPE welding service. We can provide this service separately or as part of a larger contract.
HDPE pipe is butt fused together using a fusion welder. A clamping device holds the pipe pieces as the pipe ends are “faced” with a machining tool to establish a clean mating surface. A heating element or heating plate is inserted between the faced ends, and the pipe pieces are drawn together against the heating plate. A melt pattern is formed around both pipe ends. Once the correct temperature is reached, the heating plate is quickly removed, and the melt ends are drawn together with a precise force. The end result is a fusion joint that is as strong as or stronger than the pipe itself, and this creates a leak-free joint of HDPE pipe.
We work closely with our clients throughout the different stages of each project, from inception to completion. This has enabled us to build and maintain long lasting relationships with them. Our clients include: Emtel National, Decon Technologies, Visionstream, Coffs Coast Under Road Boring, Mirait Technologies Australia, Dunstans Construction Group, Downer Group and Golding.
Full Bore HDD has highly-skilled and experienced drill crews, plus Vermeer 24 x 40 SII and Ditch Witch JT10 (boasting 10000lbs pullback force) horizontal directional drill rigs.
FB HDD constantly evolves with the current industry trends and legislation and always treats safety as the paramount consideration.
