Vermeer Axis Guided Boring System

 


Status: Implemented 


The technology utilized the Vermeer Axis Guided Boring System, a pit-launched trenchless installation method that aims to achieve precise, on-grade accuracy while simplifying certain challenging aspects of other installation methods. Traditional open-cut excavation for narrow foul sewer networks was found to be laborious and time-consuming. Yet, with the adoption of this innovative technology, the team managed to streamline the process by confining open-cut excavation to the shaft only. This strategy notably reduced excavation time lessened public inconvenience, minimizing restoration and installation costs and improved overall efficiency.
