Since May, 2015
TRIC Tools Inc. is a company born of invention. That invention started not only a corporation, but an entire industry that continues to grow to this day. In 1996, when company founder Ward Carter was foreman with an underground construction firm near San Francisco, the term “lateral pipe bursting” was not yet a part of any contractor’s vocabulary. Repair or replacement of a home sewer meant digging it up, in whole or in part, with results that were messy, disruptive, and often incomplete. Then Ward assembled and tested the prototype of what was to become the TRIC lateral pipe bursting system. His father, engineer Robert (Bob) Carter, made drawings and applied the principles of manufacturing that turned the idea into a product. This whole process was not new to the Carters. Bob’s father, Mitchell Carter, invented the Coleman Stove, the Garbage Grinder, and Foam Rubber. Innovation just runs in the family.
Technology
TRIC created an entirely new segment of the underground utility industry, namely trenchless home sewer replacement, or lateral pipebursting. This was made possible by the unprecedented combination of a number of elements:
- flexible replacement pipe (fusible HDPE)
- cable or wire rope
- a uniquely adapted cable-pulling device, better known as the TRIC Trenchless System.
This system puts big power in a very small footprint. It is also modular, adjustable, compact, and reliable.
TRIC continues to be a pioneer in the research and development of cable-pulling pipebursting equipment ranging in capacity from 2″ to 30″ diameter replacements.
