Microtunnelling
Our Capabilities:
Delta Civil Engineering is one of the UK’s most prominent experienced and successful microtunnelling contractors.
Since purchasing our first microtunnelling system in 1987, for a two year research and development project with Yorkshire Water to further develop the technology to cope with the UK’s variable ground conditions, we have successfully installed in excess of 20kms of underground pipelines using RVS, Iseki and Herrenknecht systems.
We now own a comprehensive range of RVS Microtunnelling machines and equipment and can install underground pipe lines from 450mm diameter to 1m diameter.
Network Rail Infrastructure, Motorways, other Highways, Existing Buried services, Overhead cables, Deep Sewers and Private Property all provide major obstacles for ‘Open Cut’ pipelines!
‘Microtunnelling is the most cost efficient alternative to overcome these problems’
RVS Microtunnelling Systems Key Operating Benefits:
* Compact drive & reception shafts;
* Flexibility in size range;
* Continuous face support;
* Minimal settlement (Predicted Settlement Calculations can be provided);
* Clean and efficient muck removal process;
* Computer guided accurate installations;
* Extremely quiet & Environmentally friendly;
* Compact Site setup (No slurry recycling systems required);
We also have access to other highly specialised machinery capable of dealing with extremely high water tables, rock and boulders if the expected geology dictates the use of slurry based systems.
We also operate our own Guided Auger Boring machines for the installation of pipelines below 600mm diameter.
Please refer to Guided Auger Boring for further information.
