Gas distribution company choose TT-UK's suction excavation equipment
Following its supplier agreement with gas Distribution Company, Wales & West Utilities, MAN has delivered two new MAN TGS 26.440 6×2-4 BL chassis with ground-breaking suction excavation equipment from SED exhibitor TT-UK and German design partner RSP.
These are the first two vehicles of their kind purchased by WWU and will be used for below ground gas-pipe maintenance and replacement work. The suction excavator equipment works by 'sucking up' surrounding ground, including broken concrete, and is then deposited in a chassis mounted container.
MAN worked closely with TT-UK to ensure that the chassis specification met the demanding requirements of the unique suction equipment. The MAN engine drives the powerful fan units that generate airflow of 22,000 cfm. This creates a negative pressure to lift the excavated material from the ground without causing damage to underground services near to gas pipes.
TT UK has confirmed that the company will be coming back to SED in 2011 and has recently secured its stand space on the SED showground .
