Trenchless Tunneling using Guided Boring

There are various ways that trenchless tunneling is completed today. However, one of the most effective, and accurate is through the use of a guided boring machine (GBM). Guided boring is a highly accurate method for the installation of pipes, conduits and cables. A pilot bore is drilled using a rotating drill string and is then opened up to your required size for the product pipe by using a reamer. Guided boring is used in a range of trenchless techniques such as horizontal directional drilling (HDD) auger boring, and pipe ramming. During drilling when line and grade is crucial, the bit is laser guided allowing for a high degree of accuracy, often within 1 inch (or less) tolerances. 

Barbco’s Pathfinder technology is a state of the art Guided Boring System. They have combined the proven technology of a pilot tube steering system with the dependability of a conventional auger boring machine to deliver accurate casing installations up to 60” diameter.

Custom Firewood Holder for Raffle!

Late last year Barbco Inc., U.S. Shoring & Equipment Co. sponsored the 7th annual Clay Shoot and ​​ PorkaPULLuza, held by NUCA Texas.

This one day event is a great opportunity for contractors, manufacturers, renters, etc. in the trenchless industry to connect, network, and have a great time together! Registered teams drove  from station to station at Defender Outdoors Clay Sports Ranch and participated in clay shootouts to see which team came out victorious. Along with having some of the best pulled pork in Texas for lunch, shooters also got to enter raffles for some great prizes!

One of those prizes being a custom 36” fire ring manufactured by Barbco. Barbco has been manufacturing custom fire rings for years so this was nothing new for them. However, after some discussions with the raffle winner, Jake Duncan at MasTec, asked us if we could make a firewood holder instead! This was a first for the Barbco team, but nothing they weren’t able to accomplish. The firewood holder was designed with unique visuals and text, as requested by Jake.  After designing and manufacturing this custom firewood holder it was painted gray and ready to be shipped off to its rightful owner!
