Removing Access Tubes
Access tubes can be removed from a site when the site no longer requires monitoring. The access tubes,
top caps and bottom stoppers can be cleaned, stored and reused as required.
The access tube extraction tool can be used in conjunction with either the Sentek Extraction Tripod, or with
machinery with lifting capacity (e.g. jacks, winches or tractor hydraulics) to remove access tubes.
