WHEN SOIL DISPLACEMENT
REACHES ITS LIMITS

WHEN SOIL DISPLACEMENT REACHES ITS LIMITS

In situations where classic soil displacement is not possible, such as with insufficient cover depth or in soft, loose soils, ESSIG earth rockets are used as pipe rammers. In steel pipe jacking, steel casing pipes are driven openly through the ground using the push method. The intruded soil is subsequently pushed out with pipe plugs or flushed out.

This method enables precise and stable pipe connections even under demanding soil conditions – a proven solution for many construction and utility projects.

THE ESSIG Pipe Rammers
AT A GLANCE

Reliable Operation in Difficult Soil Conditions

Ideal when soil displacement is not possible, e.g. with low cover depth or loose soils.

Powerful Impact Force for Steel Pipe Jacking

Precise driving of steel casing pipes up to DN 1400 and lengths up to 60 meters.

Flexible Application in the Push Method

The open-ended pipe driving enables stable pipe connections even under demanding conditions.

Clean Results Through Efficient Post-Processing

Intruded soil is reliably removed. This is done either by flushing or the excess soil is pushed out with a pipe plug.

IMPACT FORCE THAT CONVINCES

With ESSIG pipe rammers, steel pipes from DN 70 to DN 1400 can be driven up to 60 meters depending on soil conditions. Each pipe rammer is selected for its specific operating conditions to ensure maximum efficiency and service life.

The robust technology ensures reliable results – even where other methods reach their limits.
