To test the upper limit of Bore-Gard, a 1,000 foot run was installed at the Ditch Witch
test facility. Both 10 and 20 ft. lengths were randomly assembled together. The
challenging installation was successfully completed in only a few hours. Even this
long installation did not exceed Bore-Gard’s maximum load rating of 8,700 pounds.
