Digging to remove underground pipe installation can be extremely invasive and takes a lot of unnecessary manpower and energy. We collaborated with the coordinators of Delhi-Mumbai Expressway and went forth with HDPE for Horizontal Borring, a less invasive and easier option to not only remove pre-existing pipes but also to install new HDPE pipes.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Piping without digging a trench” is a technique for installing, maintaining, and renewing underground pipelines, ducts, and cables that does not require any excavation. This mutated trend of using trenchless methods in piping projects has aided in meeting the ever-increasing demands of communities and regulators for better infrastructure and its upkeep. Preventing excavation avoids socioeconomic and environmental harm while also providing a viable alternative to the traditional open trenching excavation method. Trenchless technology provides a viable alternative to open trenching's negative consequences. Horizontal Borring methods are frequently more cost effective than traditional open trenching methods, depending on the situation. With the total estimate of open trenching, the indirect costs of environmental degradation, social disruption, and health hazards caused by pollution facilitated by open excavation pile up. With the help from Arham Engineering the concept to utilize the HDPE for Horizontal Borring was developed. Utilizing a Design/Build/Construct method developed by Arham Engineering the system will cover a distance of 11,500 meters with the pipe size of 110mm/4”. Installed by Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) and some trenching under Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. The entire project took two months to execute.
BENEFITS:
- The traditional technique of installing, maintaining, and removing subterranean utilities is to lay pipelines in open trenches. Telecommunications networks, sewer networks, stormwater networks, LPG or cooking gas networks, irrigation networks, fibre optic cable networks, and potable water networks are examples of underground utilities. Open excavation, as a conventional approach, results in noise pollution, air pollution, and environmental deterioration.
- To combat the devastation caused by open trenching, a new technology called "Horizontal Borring" has been created.These techniques are being used in metropolitan cities where increasing traffic and environmental degradation due to population growth has become an ever increasing concern. Horizontal Borring technology can be used for both new installation and rehabilitation of the underground utilities.
-There is a range of methods employed for rehabilitation and for new installation, Horizontal Directional Drilling is mainly used for new installation and Pipe bursting for rehabilitation projects on the virtue of the ease of handling and economy
