 ABSTRACT

Trench less technology is the science of installing, repairing and renewing underground Pipes,
ducts and cables using techniques which minimize or eliminate the need for excavation. It can
reduce environmental damage, Social costs and produce an alternative to open trench method of
installation, renewal and repair .It includes in, development of all kinds of underground napping
techniques, tunneling devices and specialist materials and equipment. Trench less technology is
basically making a tunnel below the surface and staling service lines like water or gas pipes,
electric or telecommunication cables etc. without any disruption to the public. It also makes it
possible to install the utilities under rivers canals and other obstacles with no disruption of flow
and with minimum or no damage to the environment.
