Trenchless technologies, most commonly referred to as "no dig," involve processes and equipment that reduce or eliminate the need for surface excavation, which in turn results in less damage to the environment. This technology makes pipe replacement and repair more efficient in terms of time and money. In short, it saves your yards, roads and sidewalks from the destruction previously necessary to install and maintain underground pipes.
Trenchless technology is in demand and expanding. Getting to know a few trenchless technology key terms will help you learn more. Here are some of the trenchless technology products used in trenchless piping:
1. Underground boring machines use a hydraulic or pneumatic drill to pierce the ground and cut cable or pipe.
2. A Microtunnel Boring Machine (MTBM) is a remote controlled device that eliminates the need for trenches by excavating only the smallest necessary amount of ground before laying pipe.
3. Trenchless technology robots go into pipes that are unsafe or inaccessible and take precise readings and measurements.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Search a glossary of trenchless technology key terms
Large searchable online glossaries help keep you up to date on the newest terminology. Each glossary is unique, so it may be helpful to search more than one. Additionally, you might benefit from looking at a glossary specific to international areas.
I recommend: The International Society for Trenchless Technology (ISTT), based in the UK, maintains an extensive glossary. The North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT) also maintains a useful glossary of terms.
Read about the techniques involved in trenchless pipe replacement technology
Understanding the terminology for the specific techniques involved in trenchless pipe replacement technology will help you put your knowledge into action. Although there are many trenchless techniques in use today, the most common are auger boring, horizontal directional drilling or HDD, pipe jacking, soil displacement, dry boring and microtunneling.
I recommend: A brief description of the most common trenchless technology techniques is available at Industry IDS. See nodig-construction.com for more detailed descriptions of each method sponsored by trenchless technology companies. The site maintains a current list of available books for more in-depth information on trenchless technology key terms.
Know your trenchless pipe replacement equipment
Learn more about common equipment currently used in trenching technology, such as trenchless technology robots, MTBM and underground boring machines.
I recommend: Visit RedZone Robotics for specific information on the inspection and data gathering capabilities of trenchless technology robots. Akkerman describes the features available in microtunnel boring machines. See Porta-Mole for information on different types of underground boring machines.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • Many construction equipment rental companies now rent trenchless equipment and can be great local sources of information for your project.
- • Trenchless technology is ever changing, so it pays to keep up to date. Sign up for a free email newsletter for the latest information.
Trenchless technology refers to the process of laying pipelines and cables with a minimal amount of digging or surface disruption. The rapidly growing industries relying on trenchless technology and trenchless equipment are changing the way water and sewage services are doing business.
The benefits of relying on trenchless technology and trenchless equipment are endless, but the most noticeable is the reduction of not only work-related injury, but also environmental damage or habitat disruption.
Be sure to consult the following when considering trenchless technology to handle pipe or cable installation for your job:
1. Websites offering multiple quotes
2. Trenchless piping societies for the latest in education and technology
3. Top-notch trenchless technology resources
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Find multiple quotes for trenchless technology services and accessories online
If you're looking for the widest variety of companies specializing in trenchless technologies and trenchless technology accessories, online information and quote centers are a great place to start. You can either contact companies one-by-one for quotes or find multiple quotes for trenchless technology products and services by filling out one simple form.
I recommend: Search Nodig.com for list of trenchless technology providers, as well as trenchless technology accessories. For a list of licensed and certified trenchless installers, fill out a free request for information through TRIC Tools, Inc..
Hire a trenchless piping expert via trenchless technology societies
Trenchless pipelines are laid best by experts. Still, you should do your research before hiring anyone, even an expert. There are several, both national and international, societies and forums dedicated to continuing education and leadership in the trenchless technology industry. Their newsletters and guidelines are among the numerous membership benefits. Adhering to their guidelines could also mean more business for trenchless technology businesses.
I recommend: For a direct link of thousands of trenchless professionals, become a member of NASTT. The ISTT offers a section with 9 guidelines for basic trenchless technology operating descriptions.
Trust well-known, expert trenchless technology companies
Employ a company that comes highly recommended. If you've relied on trenchless pipelines in the past and know the right questions to ask of a trenchless technology service, stick with trenchless technology manufacturers or businesses that have a solid reputation as well as a long-standing history in the industry.
I recommend: TT Technologies, Inc., one of the most reputable trenchless pipe replacement technology companies, does business both inside and outside the U.S.. Contact Geo Engineers, named one of the top 50 trenchless technology design firms by Trenchless Technology magazine, for services in your area.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • If you're interested in witnessing how companies employ trenchless technology in everyday operations, see for yourself. Find no-dig demos and check out the latest in equipment and demonstrations in trenching technology at no-dig shows. It's also a good idea to visit an industry expert onsite before you hire to witness the company's work quality and safety practices.
Trenchless technology, or no-dig construction, seeks to avoid the destructive digging that was once necessary to install or repair underground cables or pipes. The largest end users of trenchless technology are townships and municipalities. Contractors use a wide variety of highly specific trenchless technology products, equipment and techniques to achieve the goal of accomplishing construction projects without digging.
Not only is trenchless technology good for the environment, it saves time and money. The expenses involved in digging and subsequent repair offset the expense of trenchless equipment. Here are the top five advantages of trenchless technology:
1. Trenchless pipe replacement technology is cost effective, because it avoids the expense of digging large areas and the subsequent repairs.
2. Trenchless technology minimizes the need to close roads or sidewalks, making it better for large communities.
3. Trenchless technology robots allow the inspection of pipes that are unsafe or inaccessible for people.
4. Sonar and other advanced scanning technology make pipe inspection quick and easy, which allows companies to detect and fix the problem much sooner than before.
5. Precise data, such as gas levels, helps focus pipe rehabilitation efforts, so companies use time and materials more efficiently.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Get to know trenchless technology basics
There are many organizations all over the world dedicated to the advancement of trenchless technology. Check out free information and stay up to date by signing up for an email newsletter with one of them.
