Akkerman - Underground Construction Equipment Manufacturer

Since 1973, our industry-leading equipment has enabled contractors worldwide to productively install infrastructure. We’ve been here since the #trenchless industry was established and we continue to pave the road of innovation with our superior equipment.

In 2014, Akkerman launched the 4800 Series GBM system in response to the growing Pilot Tube Microtunneling and Guided Auger Boring market! Serving as an all-in-one system pilot tube system, contractors immediately benefited by the ability to directly install VCP, FRP, RCP, PC and steel casing with one machine. Today, the 4800 GBM system has been used for PTMT, guided auger boring, guided pipe ramming, standard jack-and-bore, rock boring, probing, sliplining, horizontal hammer boring, and pipe roofing! #TrenchlessTechnology #TunnelingSolutions #TrenchlessExperts #UndergroundConstruction

The Lockbourne Intermodal Subtrunk Extension Project in Columbus, OH, presented unique challenges with its varied ground conditions and high groundwater levels! Michels Corporation, using Akkerman’s SL82P Microtunnel Boring Machine, faced and overcame obstacles like tunneling under Big Walnut Creek and working at depths up to 65 ft. With a value-engineered approach, they eliminated several shafts, reducing costs while maintaining precision and efficiency throughout the 10,220-lf. installation. The project’s success highlights the reliability of Akkerman's equipment and the commitment to delivering cost-effective, high-performance solutions: https://bit.ly/4hk1j8O #GroundbreakingSolutions #TunnelSuccess #HighPerformanceEquipment #MichelsTunneling
