Abstract

Subsurface Characterization for Trenchless Projects

Trenchless technologies are becoming an increasingly common tool in the expansion and repair of public and private infrastructure. Utilized for all types of utilities, trenchless installations allow avoidance of surface and subsurface obstructions, while reducing carbon footprint during construction. Careful subsurface characterization is a fundamental component of any successful trenchless installation. This presentation will provide an explanation of common trenchless methods, and considerations for site and subsurface characterization intended to minimize risk during project design and construction.
