Barbco acquires new patent on FlexBor technology
Barbco, Inc. was granted a patent in Mexico for the cutting assembly for a boring device on October 22, 2021.
The FlexBor is designed to be a cost-effective, environmentally safe trenchless method and tooling. The FlexBor was created to virtually eliminate frac-outs and inadvertent returns that are often associated with horizontal directional drilling and the use of bentonite as a slip agent lubricant.
The FlexBor system utilizes casing to hold the cuttings and pressures created during the process and the minimum cover can be obtained in wetlands, streams, etc. This allows for shorter drill lengths because the FlexBor system can achieve the same bend radius in a shorter distance and depth of a drill. The FlexBor system’s hybrid combination also includes a section of augers which allows for the minimal depths associated with an auger machine but allows for a radius in the bore path.
