Abstract

The invention pertains to pipe pulling systems and methods for sequentially adjoining pipes enabling one or more operators to efficiently attach the receiving and adjoining pipe ends together. As part of the pulling system, a pipe pulling apparatus is secured and can easily pull one or more sequential cascading pipes into position for attachment or adjoining from a common location. The pulling apparatus can alternatively be moved to the distal end of the previously adjoined pipe making it the new receiving pipe. Progressively cascading extended pipe systems and clusters with lateral sections and risers are built in short periods of time as compared with typical manual methods of pipe assembly and construction. A variable length pulling member of the pulling system adjoins pipes, fittings, or pipes with fittings located at remote distances with directional turns, typically orthogonal, into their adjoining or attachment position using pulleys with securing members and mechanisms.
