Target Trenchless services

Microtunnelling Services

Microtunneling is a trenchless construction method used to install pipelines beneath highways, railroads, runways, harbours, rivers, and environmentally sensitive areas. Microtunneling is defined as a remotely-controlled, guided, pipe-jacking operation that provides continuous support to the excavation face by applying mechanical or fluid pressure to balance groundwater and earth pressures. Support at the excavation face is a key feature of Microtunneling, distinguishing it from traditional open-shield pipe-jacking. Microtunneling requires jacking and reception shafts at the opposite ends of each drive.

Pipe Jacking Services

Open face excavation method is the oldest form of pipe jacking method. This method provides an open excavation face access and the ability for the removal of man made obstacles and boulders. The spoil is removed by the conveyor and spoil trolleys which are winched out. The hydraulic jacks pushing the pipes are held by the main jacking frame and are part of the jacking rig. The jacking rig, jacking shield & other hydraulic equipment is powered by portable diesel hydraulic power-pack situated outside of the launch pit. The jacking frame transfers the horizontal loads from the jacks back to the thrust wall.
