    Discover the trenchless pipe installation process from Petra in our latest project under the southern highway in Bogotá, Colombia. What's the goal of this project? To install 40 meters of 36” diameter pipeline for the aqueduct. For this project, we chose the GBM methodology, which unfolds in three phases. In the video, we showcase the first phase, focusing on guiding the pipeline, ensuring a precision of +- 1 inch, crucial for avoiding any network interference and the proper operation of the aqueduct pipeline. Here are some benefits of this methodology: Efficiency: The GBM method ensures precise and efficient installation, cutting down on time and resources needed to finish the project. Cost reduction: By sidestepping extensive excavations, employing the GBM methodology can lead to significant savings compared to traditional pipeline installation methods. Precision and control: The GBM methodology enables meticulous control over the installation process, guaranteeing accurate alignment and depth of the pipeline.

    At Petra, we lead the shift towards a more sustainable future in pipeline installation with trenchless technology. In a recent project located in the north of Bogotá, Colombia, we completed the installation of 44 meters of 800 mm diameter pipe using the Auger Boring methodology with guidance. This achievement marks a milestone in our journey and highlights our commitment to less disruptive technologies for the environment, mobility, and society. Trenchless technologies reduce environmental impact by eliminating extensive excavations and offer economic benefits by minimizing downtime and associated costs. Join us on this journey towards a greener and more efficient tomorrow. #TrenchlessTechnology #Sustainability #NoDig #Innovation

    🚀 Revolutionizing the Trenchless Industry: Petra's ADB Technology 🚀 Petra has crafted an award-winning methodology – Assisted Dynamic Boring (ADB) – for pipeline installation. ADB is a trenchless, versatile, and cost effective solution designed to conquer various soil conditions and cover longer distances. Let's dive into its key features: ✅ Multi- Hybrid Technology: Adapts to diverse geologies, multiple diameters, varying section lengths, and space constraints. ✅ No Special Pipe Needed: Utilizes metal casings, with the required service pipe installed afterward. ✅ High Precision: Achieves impressive precision (+- 1 inch) in sections up to 400 feet. ✅ Cost-Effective: Offers a more economical methodology compared to conventional methods. Petra's ADB combines constant hydraulic force with high-frequency percussive impacts, enabling longer drives and larger diameters with reduced noise and vibration. Whether you're in aqueducts, sewage, gas, electricity, or telecommunications, ADB is your game-changer. Learn more about Petra's Ai1™ Platform and ADB methodology at www.petra.cc. 🌐 #Innovation #Technology #Trenchless #PipelineInstallation #Infrastructure #NoDig
