Micro Tunnelling

Microtunnelling is a remotely operated trenchless technique for installing pipes, ducts and culverts in a variety of ground conditions. It is steerable and accurate, therefore suitable for installation of gravity sewers. With no man entry required to the Microtunnel Boring Machine [MTBM] it is possible to work below the water table and in unstable ground.

The technique allows pipes to be installed accurately without disturbing the ground above, and is therefore ideal for crossings of railways, motorways, roads & rivers.
