Microtunneling

Application
A trenchless method of constructing new sewer and water pipe without requiring man-entry. Typically used for pipes ranging from 18-inches to 54-inches in diameter and 40- to 50-feet in depth.

Advantages
Our microtunneling method uses a "closed system;" water and mud removed from the ground are separated, decreasing the risk of environmental contamination. Because we complete microtunneling projects using safe, laser-guided equipment, there is minimal disruption to surface activities. Microtunneling is particularly effective in below-groundwater conditions and unconsolidated soils and where above- and below-ground obstructions exist.

Installation
Similar in many ways to traditional tunneling, microtunneling is a non-man-entry method of installing medium-diameter pipes. Microtunneling is accomplished using a remote-controlled boring machine to carve out a tunnel and install a new pipe in a nearly simultaneous process.

Products and services may be limited by geographic region and project
