This was a short bore in sandy soil conditions. Done beneath an active 3-lane street,
it proved how convenient the short lengths of Bore-Gard

are to transport and
assemble. Twenty foot lengths were installed for this major telephone company. The
top executive and many other managers were on hand to see first hand how cost
effective and tough Bore-Gard really is.

The tight transition and resultant bend radius was no problem for the strong joint design. Above

strength of Bore-Gard. The entire 100 feet of pipe was laid out in a few minutes for before the
installation.
