Why Choose Trenchless Utility Installations
Integral to infrastructure, underground utilities sustain and enhance the quality of life within residential communities and businesses. Maintaining such an infrastructure is another story. In the past, the arduous task of replacing or repairing such utilities required digging massive trenches while also shutting down roads and other above-ground infrastructure. That is until trenchless solutions became widespread. Today, this technology provides a solution to underground repairs and installations that makes old methods nearly obsolete.
Reasons to Choose Trenchless Technology
So why choose trenchless technology? Because it has a number of upsides that can’t be attained by antiquated digging methods. Plus, it has a variety of applications that make it as diverse of a procedure as possible. EPS Inc. dba Express Plumbing relies on advanced solutions to achieve successful outcomes, that combined with experienced staff and advanced equipment leads to some great perks when choosing trenchless.
Versatility
Every type of underground utility can benefit from trenchless technology, including:
With so many practical applications, trenchless technology provides companies with an avenue to fix any type of issues. So whether you need to repair 100-year-old clay sewer pipes or just replace a section of a gas line with a leak, trenchless technology provides a versatile solution to your problems.
Less Disruptive
Digging holes for utility installation or repair can uproot the very infrastructure it’s supposed to support. In most instances, trenchless technology allows utilities and other infrastructure to run continuously throughout the installation or repair. That means that residents, business, and road traffic are all free to operate just as they ordinarily would.
Cost-Efficient
Oftentimes, the cost of shutting off utilities or roads that bring local or intrastate commerce is immense. Not only does the repair cost money, but the inflow of money also takes a dramatic hit. In addition, the risk of a spill or damage to an existing utility line is far higher when digging than with trenchless technology.
However, trenchless tech negates these hindrances. It prevents the incidence of accidents that can draw out the project and drain a budget while also allowing businesses to continue to operate unimpeded.
Safety
Safety is another major concern when dealing with underground infrastructure. The settling of soil can create problems when boring underground, while piles of dirt or rubble can pose a problem to local residential populations. Furthermore, a break in a sewer or gas line may require people to temporarily move out of their neighborhood or business, creating even more issues.
With trenchless technology, you no longer need to worry about safety issues, as digging huge holes is no longer necessary.
Accuracy
With cameras, sensors, and more, trenchless technology is far more accurate than any other technique. Instead of reading old reports or digging through trial-and-error, trenchless solutions can “see” exactly where utility lines are and what needs to be done. This accuracy translates to both safety and the speed of installation.
Trenchless technology has revolutionized the ability to install underground utilities and piping. With minimal hassle and less staff needed, going trenchless is both quick and cost-effective. So whether you’re a business, residence, or municipality that needs utility repair or installation, trenchless technology is the ideal and smart choice.
