Trenchless Solutions for Pipeline Installation in Megacities

These so-called megacities spring up like mushrooms all over the world. Construction, maintenance and extension of the pipeline infrastructure for supply and drainage are some of the major challenges megacities are facing. Particularly in these congested urban areas trenchless pipeline installation and replacement technologies are a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to open-trench methods.
