Developed to work with the VMP range for backfill operations

The backfill plough (BP) is designed for compatibility with the VMP trenching plough to cover rigid pipes or flexible umbilicals in the oil and gas industry. SMD has supplied pipeline ploughs for over 35 years to various customers and projects. The BP incorporates design features to allow it to operate on very soft soils without significant sinkage including large support skids and minimum weight.
