Installations made with trenchless technologies (trenchless)as the microtunneling or the pipe rammingare characterized by a long service lifewhich can exceed 50 years and, in many cases, reach more than 100 yearsprovided that suitable materials and a correct technical execution are used.
🧱 Factors determining durability.
The longevity of these infrastructures depends on several key factors:
The type of pipe usedwhether made of steel, reinforced concrete or polyethylene.
Soil conditions and protection against movement or seepage.
Proper planning and installation using techniques such as pipe ramming o microtunneling with shield.
The intended use of the pipeline (drinking water, sanitation, telecommunications, etc.).
Preventive revisions according to the type of installation, as explained in our guide on the trenchless site maintenance.
At Eurohinca, we apply solutions adapted to each environment in order to guarantee an installation resistant and sustainable over time, meeting the highest technical and environmental standards.
📚 Technical studies and normative references.
According to the Plastic Pipe Institute (PPI)When correctly installed, HDPE pipes can reach between 75 and 100 years of useful lifeThis reinforces the efficiency of trenchless methods compared to traditional systems.
In addition, in our microtunneling projects we incorporate quality controls throughout the entire process, from design to execution, guaranteeing the longevity of each infrastructure.
