AUGER BORING & PIPE RAMMING
The tunneling process is extremely well suited for applications that involve short crossing distances, and situations where the project footprint does not allow for an entry and exit angle (as required in horizontal directional drilling).
Our technologies are used for the installation of all types of utilities under roads, railways, rivers, congested areas, sensitive environmental areas, alternates to deep open cuts and many other applications. Ground water, unconsolidated formations, subsurface debris and restricted workspace are all challenges that tunneling can be used to overcome. With tunneling, there are few limitations concerning diameter.
Our team has developed a reputation for excellence in tunneling, utilizing a variety of established tools and techniques – including proprietary technologies.

FEATURED SOLUTIONS
The Tunneling Company’s down the hole (DTH) boring system is a robust and cost effective system that can tackle challenging soil conditions such as bedrock or boulders and is capable of drilling in a steel pipe with a diameter of between 203 mm and 1.2 m (8 in to 48 in).
The Tunneling Company’s advanced Hydraulic Hammer allows for efficient, economical installation of large diameter steel pipe between 914 mm and 4.9 m (36 in to 192 in) in diameter where other boring or tunneling methods are not feasible.
