It is no longer required to dig up landscaping, tear up flooring, cutting down trees, destroying parking lots and driveway because no excavation is required when using Trenchless Technology methods.
Trenchless Technology is the science of installing, repairing or renewing underground pipes, ducts and cables using techniques that minimise or eliminate the need for excavation.
The use of such techniques can reduce environmental impact and social costs. Additionally, at the same time the methods can provide economic alternatives to traditional open cut methods of installation, renewal or repair.
Guided Auger Boring is a Trenchless technique that has moved to the forefront of environmentally acceptable methods. Systems can now be operated from small shafts, meaning that pipes can be installed to remote reception points. It has never been easier to offer cost-effective solutions to a problem, whilst meeting the stringent environmental specifications demanded by clients.
Trenchless Technology avoids the space requirements and disruption caused by open cut methods, which means; fewer traffic hold ups, less pollution and minimal disturbance on the surface. The methods also reduce the volumes to landfill and decrease the demand for newly quarried materials.
Optically (or laser) Guided Auger Boring is the best solution for installing new pipes in virgin ground where accuracy is especially critical. By hiring a highly trained operator means that stunning results can be achieved with this system.
Optically Guided Auger Boring is highly cost effective. It has become the preferred method of trenchless pipe installation for the final connection of surface water and foul drains to the public sewer network in urban areas and high traffic locations.
Optically guided auger boring is quicker than open cut methods and reduces disruption to road users, local residents and businesses. It eliminates traffic management issues, costs, highway reinstatement costs, lane rental charges and potential fines.
