services

Our pipe jacking services offer advanced, trenchless solutions for underground utility installation with minimal surface disruption. From managing groundwater during excavation to providing structural support and precision boring, we handle complex ground conditions with efficiency and safety.

Horizontal Directional Drilling

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a trenchless method used to install pipelines, conduits, or cables along a predetermined underground path with minimal surface disruption. HDD is ideal for smaller diameter installations or sections that require crossing beneath roads, waterways, or sensitive infrastructure. It provides a flexible solution where traditional jacking may not be suitable, helping to complete complex projects efficiently while reducing environmental and surface impact.

Micro Tunnelling

Microtunneling is a precision-driven, trenchless technology used to install pipelines with minimal disruption to the surface above. Utilizing a remote-controlled microtunnel boring machine (MTBM), this method allows for accurate control of the tunnel’s alignment and grade, even in challenging soil conditions.

It’s ideal for projects requiring high precision, such as those that pass under roads, railways, or urban infrastructure. Microtunneling minimizes environmental impact and reduces the need for extensive surface excavation, making it a cost-effective solution for complex underground installations.

De-Watering

De-watering is the process of removing groundwater or surface water from construction sites to create a dry and stable environment for excavation and tunneling. This technique typically involves the use of pumps, wells, or trenching systems to control water levels and prevent flooding or instability during underground construction. De-watering is essential for projects in areas with high water tables or during rainy conditions, ensuring safe, efficient work while protecting both the site and surrounding infrastructure.

Sheet Piling

Sheet Piling is a method used to create temporary or permanent barriers to prevent water or soil from entering a construction site. It involves driving long, interlocking sheets of steel, vinyl, or concrete into the ground to form a continuous wall. This technique is commonly used for excavation support, flood protection, and waterfront construction. Sheet piling provides stability in unstable soil conditions, helps control groundwater flow, and minimizes the risk of erosion or contamination during underground work.
