Trenchless Technologies

VolkerTrenchless Solutions is a market leader in advanced underground drilling techniques, particularly horizontal directional drilling (HDD), using our state of the art equipment portfolio to drill paths for cables, pipes, casings, ducts and other subterranean assets. There are many factors that influence selection of the optimum drilling technique, including customer requirements, the distance to be covered, environmental considerations, geology and soil conditions. Once these factors have been considered, the most suitable technique and equipment will be proposed by our expert, in-house team before designs are finalised and physical work commences.
