DEMicrotunneling: High-Precision Underground Installation Without Open Excavation 🚇🔧
Microtunneling is a trenchless construction technique that allows for the precise underground installation of pipes, avoiding extensive surface excavations. This system uses a remotely controlled microtunneling machine that drills through the ground while pushing prefabricated pipe sections from an initial shaft to a final one, ensuring structural continuity throughout the process. Thanks to laser guidance systems, rigorous alignment and slope control are maintained, making it an ideal solution for crossing under roads, railways, rivers, and densely developed urban areas. The excavated material is transported via slurry circuits that stabilize the working face and facilitate soil removal.
Compared to traditional excavation, microtunneling minimizes traffic disruptions, reduces environmental impact, and decreases surface restoration work. It is a particularly efficient alternative when the continuity of surface activities is a priority.
