The introduction of no dig trenchless technology has had a dramatic impact on lateral subterranean pipe installations, cable installations and pipe repairs, but not just for the company carrying out the work. The benefits of no dig trenchless pipe installation and pipe repairs extends to the company requiring the work, and also those businesses nearby, and anybody who might need access in and around the area where the work is being carried out. No dig technology offers real advantages, in terms of economical benefits, quicker completion of the work, increased safety, decreased disruption and minimal inconvenience. It is certainly clear to see how no dig trenchless technology is well worth considering very seriously, but how does it compare to traditional methods of pipe installation and pipe repair, and how does the system work? Whether a company requires new pipes to be installed where previously none have existed, or whether it requires existing pipes to be treated, repaired or replaced, the inevitable result is usually the appearance of heavy plant machinery and a team of contractors who will then proceed to open up a very large trench running the full length of the section of pipe concerned. This will take time, and of course heavy plant machinery and contractors are not free, and so the cost of the project increases significantly. But opening up a large trench has four other issues: the first problem is that a great deal of noise will be caused by the pneumatic machinery which will need to carve up the roads, pavements, car parks, drives, gardens or other developments. This noise can continue for several hours, causing a disturbance serious enough to disrupt local businesses and cause misery to nearby residents. The second problem relates to the danger inherent in using large machinery to dig through the earth where existing pipes or cables may lie. The risk of damaging an existing pipe or cable is high, and should any damage occur this will inevitably lead to further expense and delay. The third issue with digging a large trench rather than using trenchless technology is that the business or factory concerned will almost certainly have to close down completely, or close down a significant section of the business for a considerable period of time, resulting in lost income. Finally there is the damage which may well be caused to the areas where the trench was required. Perhaps a car park or drive has had to be partially dug up, or a garden laid to waste. This will cause unsightly damage, and further expense. However, with no dig trenchless technology pipes can be installed, repaired or even replaced without the need for any of these issues to arise. By using no dig solutions heavy plant machinery is no longer required, the work can be carried out by a very small team of workers - often just two people required. The Warrior machinery used is hydraulic, meaning that the operation is virtually silent, and there is only a requirement for a small trench at either end of the pipeline. It also means that local businesses won't be disturbed, the business or factory itself may well be able to operate normally, or very nearly so, and there is often no need for any disruption to traffic or access routes. But how does this all work? In order to install a new pipe using no dig technology, two small pits are dug, one at either end of the section required. Using a compact hydraulic thrust boring machine such as the Warrior WR4 or 6, directional rods are thrust through from one end to the other. Once a route has been established, the rods are then pulled back, with an expanding head fitted which widens the route to create a cavity that is the right size for the new pipe. The first section of pipe is pulled in behind the expanding head, and section by section the entire length of new pipe is neatly fitted in to place. Another method of trenchless technology is pipe bursting, this method is used to replace old pipes. No dig pipe replacement involves feeding a cable through the existing pipe from a small pit one end to a similar pit the other. A bursting head is then fitted to the cable, and drawn back through the existing pipe using hydraulic machinery. The bursting head literally bursts the existing pipe apart, drawing the new pipe in behind it. The entire procedure can operate at up to 2.7 metres per minute. Without doubt, the advantages of no dig trenchless technology are very clear to see.
