Construction Labor for Water Main Tunnel Crossing Projects
R&R Contracting Utilities supplies OSHA-trained labor crews for a wide range of water main tunnel crossing and trenchless construction projects. We work throughout the greater Maryland and Washington, D.C., regions.
As an established Maryland minority contractor, we serve municipalities, land developers, general contractors and federal agencies. The heavy construction teams we build come fully trained and capable of completing your underground trenchless construction projects safely and according to spec.
Trenchless Construction Labor to Bypass Major Obstacles
When a pipe installation project needs to get past a bridge, road, highway, railroad track, river, active utility lines or other obstacles, the solution is water main tunnel crossing. This trenchless construction process safely and efficiently lays pipe underground to bypass major obstacles.
R&R Contracting’s trenchless water main crossing labor crews create underground tunnels that are a little greater in diameter than the pipes they will hold. The pipe or conduit is then placed into the tunnels, effectively bypassing the obstacle.
Trenchless pipeline projects are accomplished through several methods, including:
- Horizontal directional drilling
- Tunneling (boring and augering)
- Direct pipe installation
Advantages of Trenchless Construction
Our OSHA-trained utility tunnel construction crews will bring you several important benefits:
Reduced inconvenience in the work area
Everything that’s going on above ground can keep going on during the water main tunnel crossing project. This includes road and highway traffic, railway transport and public access.
Safety
Not only will there be no disruption or inconvenience above ground, but trenchless construction will not damage or impair adjacent utility lines, bodies of water or roadways.
Cost-effective
If transportation and utility services had to be shut down during pipeline construction, the cost could wreak havoc with a project’s budget. Spills that can happen when laying pipe at the bottom of a water body are also costly to remediate. Trenchless construction prevents these problems and expenses.
Pinpoint accuracy
The water main tunnel crossing process is highly accurate at close range and at great distances.
