It often takes a number of processes in order to simply plan for a civil works project, let alone the realisation and execution of the project. This means that when you are navigating the decision-making process of how best to complete the work at hand, it is vital that you understand the various influences and boundaries of several construction exercises such as under road boring. Embracing the limitations that are present ensures that you will be able to better apply the services and equipment available to the appropriate task.
Our team at AV Drilling is always willing to provide our insight and advice in terms of finding the right tool for the job, using our years of experience within the field to ensure the increased success of your projects. Let’s explore the limitations that under road boring may present.
Know The Limits: What To Consider When Choosing Under Road Boring
Some projects will require under road boring. For many of these projects, HDD is the best choice across the board. However, to ensure safe completion of the under road boring and/or to decide that under road boring is the right choice, we need to evaluate the limitations that come into play. When you use under road boring, you need to know that:
- Trenchless or under road boring is fraught with risk and potential for loss due to the nature of working out of direct sight.
- There is a heavy reliance on the acquisition and accuracy of the data previously obtained from municipalities and through the soil and geotechnical investigation.
- Soil conditions of the area to be bored strongly dictate the success of boring under road.
- Despite the fact that this methodology allows for greater flexibility in terms of space used, there are still certain space requirements for the necessary equipment that need to be considered.
- Planned versus actual bore paths may differ due to the nature of discovery in terms of the subsurface conditions.
- Various adaptations to the prepared or planned procedure can bring on additional costs and demands in terms of the contractual aspect of your project.
