Micro TBM & Pipe Jacking: Trenchless Solutions for Utilities

Micro TBM: The Big Solution for Small Tunnels

In congested urban areas, digging open trenches for utilities is no longer feasible. Traffic disruption, noise, and environmental impact make it prohibited. Enter the Micro TBM. Designed for trenchless construction, our Micro TBM systems allow for the installation of pipes and cables with zero surface disruption.

What is Micro Tunneling?

Micro tunneling, or pipe jacking, involves a remotely operated Micro TBM that is pushed into the ground from a designated launch shaft. As the machine excavates, pipes are jacked in behind it. This method is ideal for diameters ranging from 500mm to 3000mm.

Advantages of Micro TBMs

Precision: Laser guidance systems ensure millimeter-perfect alignment, critical for gravity sewers. Minimal Disruption: Roads and businesses above remain open and unaffected during construction. Environmentally Friendly: Reduces the amount of excavated soil and carbon emissions compared to open-cut methods.

Applications

Sewer and Water Lines: Replace aging infrastructure without shutting down the city. Gas and Oil Pipelines: Safe installation under rivers and highways. Cable Ducts: Protecting high-voltage power lines and fiber optics.

Our Technology
