Microtunneling is a versatile tunneling method, capable of working in a variety of ground conditions over long distances — all while maintaining high levels of precision. But how does this trenchless technology actually work?
Check out our step-by-step explainer video, which walks you through a typical microtunneling project from start to finish!
💡 THINK TRENCHLESS FIRST 💡
There are so many reasons why choosing trenchless techniques can be the best option for everyone, including:
*Lower Carbon Dioxide emissions
*Cost effective
*Less disruptive
*Saves time on projects
*Safer to use than traditional methods
UKSTT can help you decide if Trenchless methods are suitable for your project.

The Pilot Tube Method (Guided Boring Method) is a hybrid trenchless technique designed for precise casing installation on line and grade. This innovative approach is perfect for installing utilities under roadways, railroads, canals, and other structures where open cutting isn’t an option.
How it works: Pilot tubes are steered using a theodolite guidance system for accuracy, and then a cutting head and auger follow the pilot path, installing the casing while ensuring precision. This method combines accuracy and efficiency, making it a trusted solution for challenging projects.

Different site investigation methods for different end-uses...
We've had an interesting couple of days this week investigating land adjacent to railway sidings.
In-situ plate load tests and dynamic sample boreholes have allowed us to characterise ground conditions beneath an area of proposed new sidings; ensuring minimal settlement will occur when the ground is subject to increased loads from freight trains and cranes.

If this roadway sign you OBSERVE.... you must be approaching a CURVE!
Chevron signs can reduce crashes by alerting drivers to the direction and sharpness of a curve in the road. This strategy enhances delineation for horizontal curves.

Utility fiber optic lines are often installed areas with numerous existing utilities, where trenching is highly intrusive. Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) minimizes surface disruption as the borehole is advanced underground.
Instead of the traditional approach of tearing up sidewalks, roadways, or lawns, HDD can help avoid unnecessary digging and associated restoration by discreetly installing the fiber optics line below the ground. Learn more: https://hubs.la/Q02TkLR10
