The E-Power Pipe method is used for the trenchless installation of small diameter product pipes at shallow depths. Over long distances of up to two kilometres pipes are installed quickly, reliably and precisely. The two-stage process integrates aspects of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) and pipe jacking (microtunnelling) technologies. Even with the most diverse project requirements, E-Power Pipe enables installing near-surface protective pipes and pipelines – cable protection pipes or underground cables for the expansion of the power grid as well as pipelines for gas supply, district heating or the transport of hydrogen.
