Product Description

The TERRA MINI-JET MJS 1600 allows to use existing sewer manholes to lay networks for electricity, gas and water without the need to dig up roadways or front gardens of private properties. This innovative pipe laying method was developed over a 2 year period in close co-operation with the French water supplier SADE. TERRA AG has developed such a manhole HDD drill that is able to undertake directional bores from manhole to manhole and from manhole to all near-by homes.
