Pipe Ramming/Pipe Extraction

Clean Harbors Pipe Ramming / Pipe Extraction Services utilizes pneumatic powered tools to drive a steel pipe horizontally into the ground. The front end of the pipe is left open, allowing soil to enter the pipe. After installation is completed, the soil is removed by doubling up the casing or auguring out. Hammers are available in 12, 16, and 20 inch diameters. Piping ramming reduces set up and maintenance costs when placing steel casing. It can keep casing size to a minimum in cobble by swallowing the material whole, and it eliminates the risk of creating a void in sand conditions as the material is not removed until after the casing is installed.
