Every drive is a controlled excavation from launch shaft to reception shaft. Four phases. Zero surface disruption.
Engineered shaft. The MTBM and the first pipe segment are lowered from the surface and positioned against the launch wall.
Hydraulic jacks push the cutter head into the geology. Excavated material is removed continuously via slurry circulation.
Concrete jacking pipes are added one segment at a time at the launch shaft as the drive advances. The completed pipeline trails behind the MTBM.
The MTBM emerges at the reception shaft. The new pipeline is in place. Surface infrastructure above is undisturbed.
