TRENCHLESS CONSTRUCTION

METHODS
Dividedintotwomajorcategories:
HORIZONTALEARTHBORING
PIPEJACKING/UTILITYTUNNELING

HORIZONTALEARTHBORING
Itincludes
AugerBoring
Moling
PipeRamming
WaterJetting
Microtunneling

AUGERBORING
Usedforinstallationofsteelpipesand
casings,especiallyunderrailways&road
embankments.
Veryeconomical.
Itreducesdamagetopavementsand
disruptiontotraffic,hencereducessocial
costsassociatedwithpipelineinstallations.
