When underground installation demands accuracy, access, and minimal surface disruption, pipe jacking and utility tunneling offer the ideal solution. These trenchless methods allow us to place pipe or conduit beneath roads, railways, or critical infrastructure – while our crews work safely from within the tunnel itself.
Pipe jacking and utility tunneling are trenchless construction techniques that involve excavating from inside a jacked pipe or tunnel casing. The process typically starts from a launch pit, where casing is hydraulically pushed (jacked) through the soil while spoil is manually or mechanically removed.
Depending on the ground conditions and scope, excavation may involve:
Basic hand digging with picks and shovels
Pneumatic tools or mechanical excavators
Advanced Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs)
Ideal for installing pipe beneath roads, railways, runways, or structures without disturbing the surface.
Perfect for placing gravity sewer, stormwater, or utility lines that require significant clearance and strength.
Used when tight alignment, elevation control, and grade accuracy are essential to the system’s performance.
A smart solution for locations where open trenching would interrupt traffic, business, or existing infrastructure.
