Advantages of Trenchless Technologies
The use of trenchless technologies provide the capability for installment, renewal and rehabilitation of underground infrastructure offering many advantages compared to open cut construction.
Advantages of trenchless technologies include:
- Enhanced worker and pubic safety.
- Reduced risk of damage to nearby nature, structures and utilities.
- Reduced disruption to surrounding businesses, residents and the environment.
- Cost effectiveness.
-
Possibility to be used for obstacle crossing, where regular open-cut methods are not suitable.
Trenchless technologies are widely used for the installation or replacement of ducts and pipes for services, especially beneath rivers, canals, railways and busy roads. They are widely used in cities, parks, forests or elsewhere, where the depth of installation makes the techniques more economic than open trench installation.
