Trenchless technology
S E A has been at the technical forefront of utility and underground infrastructure services using trenchless technologies for the renewal of existing pipelines and in the installation of new pipelines. With our knowledge, understanding, and experience in using trenchless technologies we have provided practical and innovative approaches for our clients in a broad range of applications.
Where Trenchless Technology Can Be Applied:
- Urban locations using techniques such as pipe bursting and Microtunneling
- Environmentally sensitive areas using horizontal directional drilling, cured-in-place-pipelining and sliplining methods
- Railroad and highway crossings where pipe jacking, auger boring and pipe ramming have been used
- Residential neighborhoods where noise and dust control are important using pipelining methods and tunneling
- Utility and pipeline crossings using many of the same techniques above to avoid loss of service
- Subsurface utility engineering to locate potential utility conflicts and avoid unexpected costs during construction
Through these types of approaches, we have brought our clients innovative ideas to deal with challenging aspects on each project. We have found that every project is different and requires particular attention and detail to understand the nature of the problem, why the problem exists, and then design a solution or range of approaches to address the particular problem.
