The GBM 240A is the industry-leading pilot tube system for accurately guiding horizontal auger bore equipment. With hundreds of systems being used globally, industry leaders rely on the accuracy and versatility that the 240A adds to their trenchless toolbox.

Features:
  • Establish line and grade accuracy critical for gravity flow installations.
  • Adjustable base frame adapter fits all major auger bore machines.
  • Minimize project cost by reduced casing diameter requirements.
  • Achieve longer auger bore installations with straight alignments.
  • Avoid tripping augers to survey alignment and adjust for deviations during standard boring.
  • Probe for obstructions or detail changing ground conditions along the alignment during the pilot tube installation.
  • Utilize for several other trenchless installations such as guided pipe ramming, guided reaming, probing, pipe roofing, foundation securing, geothermal, etc.
  • Utilize as a stand-alone system in a 10-ft shaft to direct install product pipe up to 24in OD.
  • Installs pilot tubes in a wide range of ground conditions including rock.

Testimonials

Our interaction with Akkerman began on a project where we were struggling with their competition’s machine. Changing machines during a project to their machine required a leap of faith on our part. That project completed 20 years ago turned out to be successful and propelled us into 20 years of completing scores of successful micro tunnel projects throughout North America. Providing many innovations throughout this time has allowed us to mine many geology types and increase drive distances with curves to over 2500 lf. I can attest 30 years ago, technology did not exist that today allows us to complete projects efficiently and at a lower cost. Their leadership in providing technically superior AMERICAN made equipment is second to none in the world today.
