(all day)
This
one
day
workshop
will
cover
the
phases
of
the
construction
of
stormwater,
wastewater,
forcemains,
watermains,
and
utility
pipelines
using
the
trenchless
microtunnelling
construction
method.
Attendees
will
learn
the
state-of-the-art
of
this
increasing
popular
pipeline
construction
method
that
only
requires
entrance
and
exit
shafts
to
install
the
pipe
on
line
and
on
grade
through
a
wide
variety
of
ground
conditions.
The benefits of microtunnelling include reduced risk during construction, large greenhouse gas emission savings, rapid out-of-sight and out-of-mind construction, significant reduction in social and environmental costs.
