Method and device for production of a pipe bed

Abstract

A method and also a device for the production of a pipe bed or a pipe bed profiling. The method provides at least the following processing steps: a) digging of a trench, b) production of a trench floor, c) production of the pipe bed or pipe bed profiling by a pipe-bed finisher that is adapted in at least one sub-region of its outer contours to the outer contours of the pipe to be laid, and on its longitudinal sides at least one guide or side element projects laterally on each of its two sides. The device has a pipe-bed finisher that is shape-adapted in at least one sub-region of its outer contours to an outer contour of the pipe to be laid, it is characteristic that the pipe-bed finisher is constructed either as a pipe profiling arbor that has at least on one front end, a finished guide tip or else is constructed as a pipe profiling sleeve that has a punch-like, open or closed, concave or convex sleeve end region in the advancing direction. A nearly completely automated and thus worker-less pipe bed technology and pipe laying technology with a high quality standard is made possible.
