ADVANTAGES OF THE TENBUSCH INSERTION METHOD (TIM™)

1. Small Working Pit - Jacking Pit is 9 ft long by 9 ft wide (independent of the depth of the old line).
2. Small Receiving Pit - Only 4' width required - existing manhole will work.
3. TIM™ is FAST - Installation time: approximately one foot per minute !
4. TIM™ installs RIGID PIPE
• Ductile Iron Pipe
• Vitrified Clay Jacking Pipe
• Polymer-Concrete Pipe
• Steel and Stainless Pipe
5. No point repair required - TIM™ will penetrate completely collapsed lines.
6. Where existing joints are badly misaligned - TIM™ will penetrate and expand in a way which allows the new RIGID PIPE to be straight and true.
7. No need to dispose of old pipe - Very important where existing pipe is asbestos-cement.
8. No need to dispose of existing soil - Very important when dealing with contaminated soil.
9. Allows existing surface improvements to remain intact.
10. Minimal disruptions to traffic flow and commerce - reducing overall social and environmental costs of a project.
