AT Pipe Umbrella Kit
AT Pipe Umbrella System, developed by Sandvik company DSI Underground, is an optional kit for selected underground drills, including DT923i, DT1132i and DT1232i. Pipe umbrella systems are a pre-support measure used in weak ground conditions that install pipes into the ground to construct an umbrella or canopy, creating immediate reliable support and reducing the risk of hazards.
Features

Protection umbrella
AT- Pipe Umbrella systems provide reliable support in tunnel drives, portals and re-excavation of collapsed sections. Pipes are installed into the ground before excavation to create a secure canopy, which is useful for both conventional and mechanized tunneling.
-
Safe operation
The efficient self-drilling installation process keeps workers away from the hazardous boom area, enhancing safety and efficiency during all installation steps.
