Q: How does trenchless technology influence the overall project budget?

Although trenchless technology tends to have a higher initial cost, it offers significant overall savings: it avoids replacement of pavements and services, reduces construction time (and therefore personnel costs), minimizes waste and environmental costs, and improves durability with less maintenance. Eurohinca offers TCO assessment and comparative consulting between open trench and trenchless techniques.

💸 Economic impact of trenchless technology

Although trenchless technology, such as microtunneling or pipe ramming, usually has a higher initial costThe strategic use of these products leads to significant savings at the global level:

✅ Lower urban replacement costAvoid affected pavements, landscaping and utilities.
⏱️ Reduction of construction timeLess time on site means less expenditure on personnel, machinery and risk of penalties.
🌿 Environmental benefitsless waste, pollution and restoration, which lowers mitigation costs.
🛠️ Optimized maintenancePrecise installation reduces leaks, collapses and frequent repairs.

Eurohinca offers evaluation of total cost of ownership (TCO) and advice for comparison between open trench and TRENCHLESS technologies. More details in the trenchless technology of its website.
