Motorway Irragation Project Israel |

THUMBS UP FOR THE NEW GROUNDSMAN TCHYD TURF MULTI CUTTER AND WEDGE BLADE PIPE INSERTION ATTACHMENT The new Groundsman TCHYD Turf Multi Cutter fitted with the Pipe Insertion Attachment was used in two large scale landscape projects. One was on light soil before the turf was laid. The other was on existing turf with medium light soil. |

The wedge blade parts the soil to enable insertion of the pipe, a press roller attaches to the blade to close the trench. The width of the trench can be seen in the picture above where the trench has been left open. These were motorway projects in Israel and the machine performed equally well on bare soil and existing grass. Traction was good with an average forward speed of 30 meters per minute. Smaller irrigation projects have also been completed by the same company in a variety of conditions where access would normally be a major problem. | |
| A one hundred meter coil of dripper feed irrigation pipe is mounted on a special reel incorporating a feed damper to prevent pipe buckle. The Wedge Blade Trenching system developed by Groundsman Industries inserts pipe down to a depth of 120mm in a one pass operation. Little trace or disturbance is visible when the work is completed. See pictures right and below. The contractors comment that they can now offer a service to their customers that they could not before. |  |

The tail ends of the dripper pipe can be seen exposed at either end of the trench before connection to the water supply. Picture left. Along the trench the pipe lengths are connect above ground at the reel and inserted by the machine. Grass surfce disruption is mimised. An attachment is also available using the Wedge Blade system to insert materials such as sand or gravel for drainage. The trench is filled from the bottom up and can be layered. eg: gravel in the bottom half and sand on top. CONTACT US FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE TCHYD HYDRO DRIVE TURF MULTI CUTTER. |
