THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO NO-DIG ENGINEERINGThis comprehensive reference covers the latest techniques and materials for high-demand trenchless technology methods. Offering practical procedures, details on new tools and techniques, and analysis methods that can save pipeline owners, municipalities, and utilities thousands of dollars in costs and weeks of surface disruptions, this valuable resource offers dig-free answers that will help planners and engineers:
- Locate and assess the condition of existing pipelines
- Plan, design, and implement trenchless construction and renewal projects
- Manage, assess risks, and prioritize underground pipeline and utility assets
- Choose from a number of useful trenchless technologies
- Apply field-tested analysis to projects
- Manage social costs, environmental concerns, and safety issues
- Get need-to-know answers on soil compatibility of trenchless construction
- Discover the latest pipeline advances in equipment, methods, and materials for water, wastewater, gas, and oil applications
- Learn trenchless construction methods, such as microtunneling, horizontal directional drilling, the pilot tube method, pipe ramming, horizontal auger boring, pipe jacking, and utility tunneling
- Learn pipeline renewal methods, such as cured-in-place pipe, pipe bursting, sliplining, close-fit pipe, underground coatings and linings, panel linings, sewer laterals, localized repairs, modified sliplining, thermoformed pipe, and manhole renewal
- Get practical answers from case studies and easy-to-read tables and charts
From need-to-know information on construction methods to design guidelines and regulatory help, Trenchless Technology is a priceless working tool for engineers tackling the dual challenges of aging infrastructures and new environmental mandates.

Synopsis
Trenchless technology allows for the installation or renewal of underground utility systems with minimum disruption of the surface. As water and wastewater systems age or must be redesigned in order to comply with environmental regulations, the demand for this technology has dramatically increased. This is a detailed reference covering construction details, design guidelines, environmental concerns, and the latest advances in equipment, methods, and materials.
