Jacking pipe lets you install a pipeline underground without digging a continuous open trench — ideal for busy roads and built-up areas.
In pipe-jacking and microtunnelling, pipes are pushed through the ground behind a tunnelling shield from a single launch shaft. There is no need to excavate the whole route, so surface disruption, reinstatement costs and traffic impact are dramatically reduced.
Polymer concrete is an excellent jacking pipe material because it combines very high compressive strength to handle jacking loads with a smooth, dense, non-porous surface that resists corrosion for the life of the line.
With no steel to rust and no cement to be attacked by sewage gases, a PRC jacking pipe stays watertight and structurally sound for 100+ years — making trenchless installation an even better long-term investment.
