Pipe Installation Machine

Pipe Installation Machine, PIM, is a big industrial project leaded by Professor Durali and performed by a group of Sharif University of Technology students. The machine grasps and moves huge pipes (5 meters in diameter and 5-10 meters in length) through a 65 degree inclined tunnel. Then it adjusts the contacting edges of the previously assembled and the new pipe using hydraulic actuators. I was the fabrication supervisor for about 8 months and was engaged in the whole setup and test process for about 4 months.
