Pilot Tube Microtunneling

 

When exact line and grade are paramount, this technique involves using optical guides to jack hollow steel rods through the ground to “pilot” a hole for the new pipeline.

The new pipe is then directly jacked behind the pilot tubes. Avoiding long, open trenches means minimal intrusion to the area above ground. This method proves useful for projects with limited clearance and those that require pinpoint accuracy.

Benefits:

• Accuracy
• Minimal disruption to soil surface
• Minimal disruption to area traffic, businesses, and residents
• Relatively low-cost trenchless method
