The HDD manhole drill TERRA MINI-JET MJS 1600 operates in a manhole. It is controlled from the top via an automatic drill rod lift. The operator stands on top of the road during drilling and backreaming, and not down in the manhole. Imagine being able to use existing sewer manholes to lay networks for electricity, gas and water without the need to dig up roadways or front gardens of private properties. Swiss producer of trenchless pipe and cable laying equipment TERRA AG has developed such a manhole HDD drill that is able to undertake directional bores from manhole to manhole and from manhole to all near-by homes. At 0.8 m (2.5 ft) depth you can lay telephone cables, at 1.20 m (4”) depth fresh water lines, and at 1.60 m (5 ft) depth gas or power lines.
