On many projects there may be several possible trenchless procedures for achieving the desired goal, and the most efficient choice may not be evident. The key to success on any underground construction project is an accurate assessment of the subsurface conditions. Problems arise when more effort is placed on risk transfer among parties than on investigation of these conditions. This approach usually results in a higher total cost for the owner due to claims. Huxted Tunneling, has the experience to recommend the most appropriate trenchless method: boring, directional boring, tunneling, pipe jacking, and microtunneling. The various methods can be evaluated on the basis of several criteria such as budget, ground conditions, and pipe specifications according to the individual project.
