What is trenchless technology and how does it differ from traditional excavation?

The trenchless technology is a set of construction methods that avoid large open-cut excavations. Instead of opening wide trenches on the surface-which often disrupts traffic, increases restoration costs and generates a large environmental impact-these techniques use specialized machinery to excavate in a controlled manner from within the ground. Processes such as microtunneling and pipe jacking are employed, which allow pipes, cables and other subway systems to be installed without significantly disturbing the surface.

In contrast to traditional excavation, trenchless technology reduces both the inconvenience to the community and the risks associated with the work. In addition, it favors a faster and more sustainable execution, as it minimizes the generation of debris and the alteration of the natural environment. This makes it the ideal option for urban projects and areas of high environmental sensitivity, where maintaining the continuity of activities and preserving the landscape is fundamental.
