Microtunneling
Efficient completion of flexible, structural, watertight pipelines for any soil condition.
The Process
Precision Tunneling with Hydraulic Jacking
Microtunneling is a trenchless construction method that installs pipelines underground using a remotely controlled microtunnel boring machine, providing high precision and minimal surface disruption.
It is commonly used for gravity sewers and utility crossings in urban or environmentally sensitive areas where open-cut excavation is impractical.
Millimeter Precision
Remote Control, Pinpoint Accuracy
Our remote-controlled microtunneling systems achieve millimeter-precision installations in diameters from 24" to 72", completing projects in densely populated urban areas with zero surface disruption and superior alignment accuracy.
