When Garney Construction and Aaron Enterprises, Inc. needed a solution to tackle challenging ground conditions under a busy roadway in Harrisonburg, VA, Akkerman delivered! Using our TBM 600 and mixed-face disc cutter head, crews successfully installed a 200-ft. section of 72-in. steel casing through lean clay, weathered rock, limestone, and dolomite—all while maintaining precise line and grade on a critical 1.02% downhill slope. Despite groundwater and full-face rock along the way, the tunnel was completed on time, allowing crews to head home for Christmas! A job well done—powered by precision and Akkerman equipment: https://bit.ly/4dKoVkd #TeamworkInAction #TrenchlessTechnology #TunnelSuccess #CriticalInfrastructure

Case Boring Corp. of Gasport, NY used an Akkerman GBM 240 for a guided auger boring run of 250-LF. of 24-in. ID casing on the Line 1570 Modernization project in Waynesburg, PA for Columbia Pipeline Group/Ni Source! Pipe was bored downhill at a 12-degree decline into an environmentally sensitive wetland to match up to an opencut excavation. This drive was one of the last critical crossings on this project that began in late April 2014 and was completed in October 2014!
