PVC Trenchless Technology

TerraBrute™

Introducing TerraBrute™, the new locking joint PVC pipe specifically designed for "trenchless" installations

No more hassles coupling HDPE to your PVC system. No more headaches with butt fusion equipment. No more surprises.

Assembled just before entering the shaft, TerraBrute’s "steel ring-and-pin" gasketed joints can handle twice the pull force of other HDD systems – up to 120,000 lbs. for 12" pipe.

And TerraBrute’s rounded bell shoulders slide by protruding roots, rocks and other debris, enabling long sections of pipe to be easily pulled through the borehole. TerraBrute is pressure rated at 200 psi. What’s more, TerraBrute AWWA trenchless pressure pipe accepts standard PVC CIOD fittings, couplings and saddles.

No special repair or handling techniques, or special training for crews are needed. So now you not only get the superior strength and corrosion resistance of C900 PVC for HDD and other trenchless applications, you get complete compatibility with your existing potable water and sewer system. And that’s an advantage worth crossing the road for.
