"Emergency Bore" with the directional rod pusher TERRA-JACK TJA 125
All in a hurry they opened a start and an arrival pit. The arrival pit was at the main water line. Then the TERRA-JACK made a directional bore for a new house connection in a length of 14 m (47 ft).
Pic 1: The start pit was opened near by the house, the TERRA-JACK was lifted into the pit and secured with wood. Then the pilot bore was done.

Pic 5: The new pipe OD 50 mm (2") has been pulled in.
Pic 6: The old broken waterline was cut off from the main water valve. The new fresh waterline was connected.
