Tracto gives insight into the future of pipeline construction
"Why dig trenches when there are better solutions?" To further establish sustainable trenchless construction methods, TRACTO regularly offers its customers and partners the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes of the innovative company. From 15-19 April 2020, the popular "Hands On Days" took place for the 12th time at the company's headquarters in Lennestadt- Saalhausen, providing a unique insight into the world of trenchless technology, TRACTO's product portfolio, its services and current developments in the industry.
TRACTO-CITY" was set up especially for the event in the form of a tent city where the whole world of trenchless technology and its applications were clearly presented. 20 machines were on display
and could be viewed at close quarters. Around 1,000 visitors from 30 countries were able to obtain comprehensive information on products and tailor-made services from experts in individual themed tents. More than 30 factory tours gave interested visitors an additional insight into TRACTO's production and quality management. The NODIG systems could be seen in action in more than 100 live demonstrations in the demonstration area and of course all questions could be clarified directly with the experts. Some of the visitors even dared to sit in the operator's seat to get a better feel for the practical side of things.
The "Hands on Days" not only showcased the machines, but also the many related services that TRACTO offers as part of its "one- stop-shop" concept, so that users of trenchless technology can get everything they need from a single source: These services include financing solutions from TRACTO Finance, technical support and site consultancy, a wide range of training courses, geological expertise, as well as a used machines service and online shops solutions.
Technology and knowledge for the future
In many places it was clear that TRACTO is playing a major role in shaping the future of trenchless construction. The first HDD drilling rig with an electric motor, the GRUNDODRILL JCS 130E, could also be seen at work on the demonstration site. A broad programme of 15 presentations in four blocks covering markets, applications and technology trends focused on current topics in pipeline construction, namely fibre optics, power lines, pipe rehabilitation and future topics.
The future of drilling technology and its continued automation, as well as environmental and sustainability issues, were also explored in depth in the presentations, as was advancing digitalisation. Not only were presentations dedicated to these areas, but there were also separate information tents where these important topics could be explored in greater depth in personal dialogue with the experts. Further evidence of TRACTO's innovative strength was provided by the presentation of an interactive network called the "Trenchless Platform", which allows users to participate in digital development initiatives for the drilling rig of the future.
