Trenchless

01 02

Minimal disruption to communities and the environment

Many of New Zealand’s towns and cities have growing populations and an aging network of underground piping, which is increasingly no longer fit for purpose. The bottom line? These networks require upgrading to provide safe, reliable, and resilient water services into the future. 

On top of that, increasing urban density and environmental considerations have made traditional pipe replacement methods more disruptive costly, with higher environmental impacts than trenchless construction alternatives. 

As specialists in providing trenchless solutions for pipeline construction and rehabilitation, we’ll work with you through option assessment, design, consenting, procurement, and construction monitoring. We have expertise in a wide range of trenchless construction methods including pipe lining, pipe bursting, horizontal directional drilling, pipe ramming, guided boring, and micro-tunnelling or pipe-jacking. 

If you’re looking to upgrade your existing systems, expand opportunities in your community, or improve your resilience against natural disasters such as earthquakes, our team will work with you to effectively manage risks and carefully select materials, alignments, and construction methods. 

Using new technology to minimise adverse impact

When it comes to installing and rehabilitating underground pipeline services, gone are the days of big price tags, big holes in the ground for weeks at a time, and big disruptions to residents and the environment. We’ve successfully delivered thousands of trenchless technology solutions for new installations and existing infrastructure rehabilitation. From crossing environmentally sensitive areas, to minimising disruption in busy urban settings, Stantec brings the appropriate trenchless technology for developing an advanced solution.
