Abstract

The article develops a device for the rotary trench excavator. The device will enable to break an underground major pipeline from one of the side faces and above the top surface of the pipe in one operation. The design of the device enables to use it in any climatic conditions. The application of the improved device attached to the rotary trench excavator enables to enforce the structure of the construction and repair spread.

Highlights

  • The article develops a device for the rotary trench excavator

  • The application of continuous-type machines cuts the duration of stripping works by 10 to 15 times which undoubtedly is profitable for companies doing the overhaul operations

  • There is no fleet of rotary trench excavators at the organizations performing the overhaul works for the main pipelines [1,2,3]

Summary

Introduction

The article develops a device for the rotary trench excavator. The device will enable to break an underground major pipeline from one of the side faces and above the top surface of the pipe in one operation.
