“The Design Material and Construction committee published a paper to describe the different methods of trenchless pipeline installation methods. This comprehensive report reviews techniques in addition to widely used horizontal drills. In practice, the research will help operators navigate advantages and limitations of cost-effective alternatives which ultimately can lower construction costs for member companies.”
