Tough Jobs - Brigham and Women's Hospital - Boston, Massachusetts - 2003

After four contractors had given up over a period of nine months, the hospital was still faced with the problem of a severely plugged garbage pipe containing many years build-up of medical waste.

The hospital was referred to a contractor who uses the Pipe Genie System. Due to the specifics of the job, Trenchless Canada was consulted and a new accessory tool was developed to tackle the challenge [see photos]. In addition the pipe pulling unit was used in a horizontal configuration to work within the confined space available!

The new tool was highly successful and after a mere two weeks the job was done and a total of 12,000 pounds of medical waste accumulation had been removed in the process.

12,000 pounds of assorted medical waste accumulated over a period of years completely blocked the line.

Tight working space required the machine to be used on its side as opposed to upright!

Extremely compacted waste required engineering a special tool to tackle a job others gave up on.

The special tool was invented to tackle and complete this particular challenge.

Adjustable claws broke up the compacted accumulation.

The lines are clean, tools are removed and pipes
are re-sealed.

The hospital is once again fully functioning!
