Success Stories

A hospital with
plugged arteries

Brigham and Women's Hospital — Boston, Massachusetts
2003

JOB SUMMARY

After four contractors had given up over a period of nine months, the hospital was still faced with the problem of a severely plugged garbage pipe containing many years build-up of medical waste.

The hospital was referred to a contractor who uses the Pipe Genie System. Due to the specifics of the job, Pipe Genie was consulted and a new accessory tool was developed to tackle the challenge [see photos]. In addition the pipe pulling unit was used in a horizontal configuration in order to work within the confined space available!

The new tool was highly successful and after a mere two weeks the job was done and a total of 12,000 pounds of medical waste accumulation had been removed in the process.
 


Welcome To Brigham and Women's Hospital… a teaching affiliate of the Harvard Medical School.

   
12,000 pounds of assorted medical waste accumulated
over a period of years completely blocked the line.
Tight working space required the machine to be
used on its side, as opposed to upright!
   
Extremely compacted waste required engineering a
special tool to tackle a job others gave up on
The special tool was invented to tackle and
complete this particular challenge.
   
Adjustable claws broke up the compacted accumulation. Chain pulling bursting/splitting cone through collapsed
lines with new pipe following behind.

                         

 
The lines are clean, tools are removed and pipes re-sealed.

The hospital is once again fully functioning!

   

Pipe Genie® innovations are the result of ten years of development by industry professionals

no matter how tough the job!
