For over two decades, Akkerman has been a trusted leader in providing top-quality Guided Boring Systems (GBM) to the trenchless industry! While there are various methods available, Guided Auger Boring has become the most widely used across North America for its precision and efficiency. With hundreds of systems in service, contractors can achieve accurate line and grade installations of pilot tubes and directly follow up with steel casing. Guided Auger Boring offers significant advantages over traditional methods like water levels or lasers, including improved efficiency and enhanced worker safety! We’re proud to be at the forefront of innovations that make a difference in trenchless construction: https://bit.ly/3WY9cZb #TrenchlessTechnology #PrecisionBoring #GuidedBoring #InfrastructureInnovation

Every contractor’s goal is clear—complete the bore the first time! But what happens when the unexpected strikes? In challenging ground conditions, experience and the right tools make all the difference. The Akkerman sonde housing, clocking target housing, and multi-position target offer a game-changing solution. By aligning these components, operators can maintain accuracy even when the target becomes partially or fully obscured. Starting with this innovative tooling setup in tough bores can be the key to success—helping contractors adapt, adjust, and complete projects with confidence! Because in the trenchless world, precision isn’t just a goal—it’s the standard: https://bit.ly/3WY9cZb #TrenchlessPrecision #IndustryExperts #TrenchlessInnovation #AccuracyInAction
