trenchless

Pipe without excavation

Trenchless describes construction or repair methods that don't require digging open trenches.

Trenchless technology installs or repairs underground pipes, cables, and utilities by boring or drilling rather than excavating: trenchless sewer repair, trenchless pipe installation.

The approach minimizes disruption to roads, landscaping, and existing infrastructure.
