Championing South Africa's trenchless industrySince the early 1990s Trenchless Technologies cc hasbeen advancing South Africa's trenchless constructionindustry to the point where it has become one of thefastest growing subsurface construction methods in thecountry.23 January, 2012: Having pioneered the launch oftrenchless technology in South Africa in the early 1990s,subsurface pipeline construction and rehabilitationcompany Trenchless Technologies cc has witnessedhow this branch of technology has become one of thefastest growing sectors within South Africa'sconstruction and civil engineering industry.Trenchless Technologies managing member Sam Efratsays that the deterioration of the country's undergroundinfrastructure systems and the ever-increasing demandfor utility services is driving an even greater need forsubsurface utility construction and rehabilitation thatcauses minimal disruption to surface traffic andbusiness.Upon the emergence of trenchless technology in theinternational market in the 1980s, Efrat quickly realisedthe potential that it held for an emerging market such asSouth Africa, and spearheaded the launch of TrenchlessTechnologies in 1991.Trenchless Technologies was established as one the firstcontractors in the South African market to offer pipelinerehabilitation through the use of subsurfacetechnologies, including sliplining and pipebursting. Asthe market grew, Trenchless Technologies expanded itsoffering to include the installation of new pipes throughsubsurface technologies such as pipe ramming anddirectional drilling. “Traditional open-cut construction methods haveadverse impacts on the surrounding communities,businesses and commuters owing to undesirable noiseand dust pollution, traffic disruptions and safetyconcerns. What's more, direct costs are greatly increasedas the excavation of continuous trenches often requiresthe restoration of surfaces such as sidewalks, pavementsand landscaping,” explains Efrat.When compared to traditional open-cut constructionmethods, trenchless pipeline construction andrehabilitation applied in the correct application offersquicker turnaround times and cost savings of up to 20%.A vast majority of the technologies have the ability toundertake piping installation or rehabilitation workunderneath existing services such as buildings,roadways, railways, rivers and established forestry, allthe while keeping a small work footprint. What's more,with microtunnelling - a more sophisticated trenchlesstechnology - it is possible to install pipelines with thesame or even greater accuracy than by open cut methods.“Over the years, we have established ourselves as one ofjust a few companies in South Africa with the ability toinstall, inspect, repair, rehabilitate and replaceunderground infrastructure in the water, sewer, electricaland fibreoptic sectors. In addition to being able to offerturnkey services to these sectors,” explains Efrat.

TRENCHLESS TECHNOLOGIES CC Trenchless Technologies not only offers one of the widest ranges of trenchless services in South Africa, but it also is the sole Southern African agent for the sales and servicing of the Swiss-made Terra Hammer's range of trenchless pipelaying equipment, including: directional drills, moles, pipe rammers and pipecracking equipment. The company is also the sole agent for the patented Sekisui Rib Loc range of products. Efrat explains that the Australian-made range of Rib Loc products, which includes Expanda, Rotaloc and Ribline, are ideal for sewer applications from 150 to 3000mm diameter. Technologies such as directional drilling have experienced phenomenal growth in South Africa. In the last three years alone, the number of directional drilling machines in the South African market has grown to close on 90 machines. Even though more than a third of the Trenchless Technologies' business originates from directional drilling, Efrat explains that the company aims to increase this quota to more than 50% and position itself as the preferred supplier of directional drilling to a variety of industries. Trenchless Technologies currently operates four directional drilling machines with the aim of acquiring an additional machine before the end of the year. Efrat explains that the growth in the directional drilling market is largely due to the growth of South Africa's telecommunications sector. With the introduction of major telecommunication companies, such as MTN, Vodacom, Neotel and Cell C, the demand for the laying of fibreoptic technology for the purposes of faster internet connectivity has increased significantly. “As many of the fibreoptic cables are placed down the sides of suburban streets and main arterials, the use of a non-invasive method of installation is paramount. Our expertise in directional drilling is being utilised by many of the telecommunication companies for the laying of fibreoptic cables on an ongoing basis,” explains Efrat. In addition to Trenchless Technologies' work in the telecommunications sector, the company also carries out work for large industrial corporations; small to medium- sized contractors; and for many of South Africa's municipalities. To date, Trenchless Technologies has successfully installed over 300 000 metres of trenchless pipe countrywide. Looking ahead, Efrat says that having traditionally focused on the municipal sector, Trenchless Technologies plans to extend its offering to include the mining industry – an industry which Efrat describes as a huge untapped market for trenchless technologies. About Trenchless Technologies Trenchless Technologies cc was formed in 1991 specifically to cater for the growing need for non-disruptive, cost-effective solutions to pipe laying problems.
