Trenching and Pitting. Trenching and pitting can be an excellent way of establishing the near-surface ground conditions quickly and efficiently. It is particularly well suited to soft clays where in-situ measurements can be made and rock areas, as the strata of the rock can be viewed in-situ. Pitting can be one of the fastest methods of investigation available with upwards of 10 positions possible in a day. The technique has the added benefit of allowing in-situ testing such as percolation testing to be undertaken.

Efficient Underground Utility Locator With Dry Vacuum Excavation

Here's a photo of our Cat 75 tonne in action, tackling deep excavation on a rocky project. We used a 7 tonne rock breaker to break through the Basalt barrier. For effective basalt/bluestone excavation, we recommend utilizing a minimum 50 tonne carrier paired with a sizable rock breaker. Otherwise, blasting might be necessary, if you don’t have access to a suitable machine and experienced operator. What techniques have you found successful on your projects?

Less mess, more efficiency! Trenchless pipe repair is changing the game by fixing issues without the need for extensive excavation. #trenchlesspiperepair #trenchless #nodigging #nocorrosion #extremelydurable #upfrontpricing #excellentcommunication #piperepair

Give us a problem and we'll find the solution! A client required excavation in an area where our regular equipment wasn't suitable due to the required length and reach. In response, we adapted a system to be added to a 360 digger in order to get the job done! #vacuumexcavation #vacuumexcavator #problemsolved #360digger

🌍 Today is World Trenchless Day, a moment to celebrate the innovations that make our world safer, greener, and more efficient, as well as the dedicated professionals who bring these innovations to life. #microtunneling allows us to install pipelines with minimal disruption to the surface above. When paired with #GRP pipes, the benefits only grow: ✔️ No trenches = smaller construction sites = considerably less traffic disruptions and much smaller impact on nature ✔️ Lower carbon emissions as traffic congestions can be largely prevented ✔️ Smaller outer diameter = lower machine costs, less excavation ✔️ Lowest necessary jacking forces in the industry ✔️ Suitable for very long as well as curved drives ✔️ Pressure pipe jacking possible: pipes withstand both high thrust forces and internal working pressure Read more on Amiblu jacking pipes: https://lnkd.in/d2vvnCQB #pipes4generations #WorldTrenchlessDay

Welcome back to Toolbox Talks! Up next... Trenchless Technology 📣Topic: Using Trenchless Technology in Connecticut 👍Underlying Rule: The excavator must use proper care when utilizing trench‐less excavation; If such excavation is expected to cross or encroach within the approx. location of underground facilities either horizontally or vertically, the excavator shall determine the actual location of such facilities prior to crossing or encroaching the location of the facility. 🤔Curious Questions: - When using trenchless technology, do all utility crossings need to be exposed? - What are two other names for trenchless technology?
