No-Dig Services

Trenchless Methods And Contractor Capability

No Dig Ltd supports underground pipe, cable, drainage and utility works using no-dig and trenchless methods that reduce open excavation, reinstatement and disruption.

The right method depends on the site, route, ground conditions, depth, access, pipe or duct size and the service being installed, replaced or accessed. This page gives an overview of the main methods and where each one may be suitable.

Method Selection

Choosing The Right Trenchless Method

Choosing the right no-dig method starts with the site conditions and the service being installed or replaced. Factors such as pipe size, route length, depth, ground type, access points, nearby utilities and surface restrictions all affect the best approach.
