Trenchless Technology in Construction Training Course

Introduction:

Trenchless technology is a rapidly evolving field in construction that allows for the installation and rehabilitation of underground utilities without the need for extensive excavation. This 5-day course provides an in-depth understanding of trenchless technologies, including horizontal directional drilling (HDD), pipe bursting, microtunneling, and cured-in-place-piping (CIPP). The course will cover the key methods, equipment, design considerations, and safety protocols involved in trenchless construction. Participants will gain practical knowledge on how to apply these technologies to reduce environmental impact, increase efficiency, and lower costs in infrastructure projects.

Objectives:

By the end of this course, participants will:

  1. Understand the fundamental principles of trenchless technology and its application in construction.
  2. Gain knowledge of various trenchless methods such as horizontal directional drilling (HDD), pipe bursting, and microtunneling.
  3. Learn about the equipment, tools, and materials used in trenchless construction.
  4. Understand design considerations and best practices for trenchless construction methods.
