What is microtunneling and what are its main applications?

Microtunneling is an advanced solution in subway construction that allows the installation of pipes and conduits without resorting to large surface excavations. Using specialized machinery, small diameter tunnels can be excavated in a precise and controlled manner, ensuring less disturbance to the environment. This method is ideal for projects in urban areas where it is crucial to reduce disturbance, such as traffic disruption and noise, as well as protecting the landscape and minimizing environmental impact.

For infrastructure projects, microtunneling is especially valuable as it allows for the efficient implementation of water, sewer and sanitation systems. The technology used, which combines excavation and simultaneous pipe-laying, accelerates the construction process and optimizes execution times, resulting in reduced costs and greater project profitability.

In addition, microtunneling is perfectly suited to complicated terrain or difficult geotechnical conditions, where traditional methods could face greater challenges and risks. Thanks to its precision and the ability to work in a remote-controlled manner, this method significantly improves the safety of operations, protecting both workers and the surrounding infrastructure. In short, if you are looking for a sustainable, safe and cost-effective solution for your infrastructure projects, microtunneling of Eurohinca is the ideal choice to ensure high quality results with minimal impact on the city and the environment.
