A method and apparatus for laying a pipeline. Working and receiving pits are dug out. An active working member is dropped into the working pit at a preselected depth. The active working member is fixed to a vertical knife of a power mechanism. Polyethylene pipeline is secured to an end part of the active working member. Then the power mechanism is energized and simultaneously horizontal pulling forces of the power mechanism are applied to the vertical knife. The active working member may be a drill head with different nozzles (bits) connected with a mud supply unit by a hose passing through a hollow portion of the vertical knife. On a non-working end of the active member the pipeline is fixed by an adapter.
The method of laying a pipeline in the ground using a power mechanism having a vertical knife and an active working member, said method comprising the steps of excavating working and receiving pits spaced from each other and laying the pipeline between them by dropping the active working member a preselected depth into the working pit, said active working member being mounted on the vertical knife of the power mechanism, attaching the pipeline to an end of said working member, energizing said power mechanism and simultaneously applying horizontally directed pulling forces of the power mechanism to the vertical knife in the direction of the receiving pit, wherein said pulling forces are substantially transmitted to said pipeline to advance the pipeline with the working member.
The system for laying a pipeline comprising a power mechanism;
