Some pipeline and utility projects can't afford an open trench, a congested street, a sensitive wetland, an active facility that can't shut down. URETEK's Trenchless Construction service installs pipe and conduit underground with precision, without the surface disruption, restoration cost, and risk to nearby utilities that come with traditional open-cut excavation.
A busy street, a sensitive site, or existing utilities already in the ground can rule out traditional trenching before a project even starts.
Pipeline or utility installation needed in a congested street, active facility, or environmentally sensitive area
Surface disruption from open-cut trenching that a site can't afford, cost, closures, or restoration
Risk of damaging existing utilities or infrastructure during traditional excavation
Precise line and grade required over a long underground run, more than manual trenching can reliably hold

Microtunneling is a real, named service on URETEK's site today. What's still being gathered is a specific, published case study of URETEK performing the bore itself; URETEK's documented project history includes several cases where its polymer injection process supported trenchless and utility work directly, stabilizing soil, protecting nearby structures, and avoiding open-cut excavation, which is closely related work.
Open-cut trenching means closing the street or site above, restoring the surface afterward, and risking damage to any existing utilities in the way. Trenchless installation avoids all of that, the surface stays undisturbed, and the bore is guided with precision the entire way.
Yes, that's one of the main reasons trenchless methods get chosen. Because the machine is remotely operated and the surface isn't opened, it's well suited to busy streets, wetlands, and sites where an open trench isn't a realistic option.
It depends on the site, but avoiding excavation, restoration, and utility relocation costs is often where the savings come from. On an I-15 water main repair, avoiding a 25-foot excavation was the deciding factor in choosing a trenchless-friendly injection repair instead.
Yes. Protecting nearby utilities and structures is a core part of planning any trenchless project, and it's also where URETEK's polymer injection work often supports a trenchless job directly, stabilizing the soil around a bore path or an adjacent excavation before work begins.
