Training for more competence in trenchless construction
As a solution-oriented system provider, TRACTO supports users with a range of training courses for safe, competent use of trenchless equipment in the utilities, infrastructure and construction sectors TRACTO is committed to imparting as much expertise as possible about trenchless construction. The training programme is correspondingly diverse: free online seminars on the advantages of NoDig technology contribute to greater acceptance of the methods on the part of contracting authorities. Construction and project managers can learn how to optimally monitor and manage Nodig projects in special courses. However, the focus of the training is on courses for users and operators of equipment bearing the Mole logo. Tailored training courses for users…

NO-DIG gently brings wind energy ashore
One of the biggest challenges of the energy transition is connecting decentralised green energy sources to the onshore power grid. Connecting offshore wind farms to the grid, in particular, involves considerable time, construction work and financial expenditure. Trenchless technology can reduce these efforts, bringing power ashore by the shortest route without damaging sensitive coastal landscapes. As with the BalWin1 and BalWin2 offshore grid connection systems. These cable routes run through the Wadden Sea National Park and the protected dune landscape of the island of Norderney, with some sections being installed using horizontal directional drilling (HDD). A GRUNDORAM TAURUS steel pipe rammer plays a small but crucial role here. Major project…
