Vermeer AXIS inventor Stuart Harrison is constantly working to further expand the capabilities of the AXIS system.
Currently, the largest installation it has completed is 900mm, but Stuart is currently working on a new back reamer for the system, which could see AXIS installing pipe up to 1.2 m in diameter.
He is also working to improve the system’s sustainability credentials, with a current focus on reducing the amount of slurry waste produced by the machine. He is also about to commence trials that will see the water used by the system recycled.
