Well, that’s a first… What’s the most bizarre thing that has happened on your jobsite?

Foreman Lance Atkinson and crew, tunneling in central Utah as part of a new water transmission pipeline. When finished, the pipeline will mark a milestone in the Central Utah Water Conservancy District’s initiative to deliver water to municipalities and industry in central Utah for years of growth. The tunnel marks the first of 3 critical infrastructure crossings required to complete this final leg of the pipeline. Good work guys!

It was a perfect weekend for some Iowa Cubs baseball!!! Iowa Trenchless and Midwest Vac Professionals crews and their families cheered the Iowa Cubs to Victory with an 11 - 3 win over the Louisville Bats. The day wouldn't have been complete without a visit from Cubbie Bear and catching some new Iowa Cubs t-shirts! ⚾️

#ThrowbackThursday Here Iowa Trenchless President and founder Jason Clark and crew are preparing to launch a 60” Robbins Small Boring Unit to cross beneath the Devils River in Brown County, WI as part of the Central Brown County Water Authority’s pipeline construction in 2006. Also pictured is Jim Lee, offering a few tricks-of-the-trade and insight on the American Augers boring machine. We may have added a few more to the list since then, but at the time, this was one of the largest and most challenging bores Iowa Trenchless had completed to-date - less than 5 years in.

Getting ready to push 54" pipe behind a beefy stepped-up weld-on reaming head. We are able to utilize 30' lengths of pipe on this one in order to expedite installation beneath the railroad.

From the Top...to the Bottom. We call this one: Hole-in-a-Bowl. While not typically our preferred plan, we were fortunate to have stable ground, good weather and a great Customer. In just four days, the crew mob'd in, bored 140' of 24" casing for a gravity sewer at minimum grade and 25'+ deep, and was back home getting ready for the next one.
