The nature of traditional open cut pipeline construction can be intrusive and destructive. This presents challenges in protecting existing infrastructure and maintaining a positive community sentiment during the construction phase.

As a solution-focused business, TI always look for the innovative option. The use of trenchless technologies significantly reduces disturbance to the environment and community and can improve efficiency. Given its non-intrusive nature, trenchless construction commonly results in more positive responses from clients, community members, and other stakeholders.

We have established strategic relationships with a range of specialist trenchless contractors and have an in-depth understanding of the commercial viability of the different systems available to the market.

This understanding is regularly applied by our Pre-Contracts Engineering team during tender processes, to offer clients potential value-adds through the implementation of trenchless technology.

TI have demonstrated experience in utilising trenchless construction methods, including:

• Horizontal directional drilling
• Auger boring
• Micro tunnelling
• Pipe jacking
• Pipe bursting
• Slip lining
