HDD technology is widely-used in the civil engineering. Its share compared to open trenching is ever increasing because the underground installation and renewal of supply and pipes bears major technical and economical advantages.These advantages are due to excavation and re-instatement work being almost omitted allowing for short construction times.

Trenchless installation protects the environment, meaning there is no surface disruption, no problems with inhabitants, minimal excavation, less construction machines, avoidance of traffic jams, diversions and repair work, as well as low noise, carbon and fine dust particle emissions.
