DEVICE FOR TRENCHLESS REPLACEMENT OF UNDERGROUND PIPE

摘要

A pipe parting mole (40) including a length of cable (70) that is engageable to the mole (40) and a cable pulling device engagement system generally includes a reaction plate (96) and an annulus type member (124) for removably engaging the cable pulling device therewithin. A cable pulling frame (84) may be used to facilitate the removal of the cable (70) from a relatively small hole (32) that is created at the pulling end (36) of the pipe (14).
