Trenchless technology includes construction methods as tunneling, micro-tunneling (MTM), horizontal directional drilling (HDD) also known as directional boring, pipe ramming (PR), pipe jacking (PJ), moiling, horizontal auger boring (HAB) and other methods for the installation of pipelines and cables below the ground with minimal excavation. It requires heavy machines to do this work. Here are some of the heavy machinery which are required for trenchless technology.

Which Heavy Machineries are Required for Trenchless Drilling?
Introduction The International Society for Trenchless Technology defines trenchless technology as any techniques, processes or procedures, including the equipment, machines and materials involved, which minimizes or eliminates the need for surface excavation or reduces environmental damage or reduces the associated costs for underground work. Trenchless construction includes such construction methods as tunneling, micro tunneling (MTM), horizontal directional drilling (HDD) also known as directional boring, pipe ramming (PR), pipe jacking (PJ), moiling, horizontal auger boring (HAB) and other methods for the installation of pipelines and cables below the ground with minimal excavation. Large diameter tunnels such as those constructed by a tunnel boring machine (TBM), and drilling and blasting techniques are larger versions of subsurface construction. The difference between trenchless and other subsurface construction techniques depends upon the size of the passage under construction. Some are Heavy Machineries are Required for Trenchless Drilling listed here below:
HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING RIG / CRAWLER / ROTARY / HYDRAULIC: Maximize your drilling muscle with the field-tested D1000x900. Loaded with feature after feature to improve performance, reliability and durability, the D1000x900 is equipped with dominating twin Caterpillar C-27 engines, producing a maximum of 92,000 ft-lb/125,120 Nm of rotational torque and 1,000,000 lbs./4,448 ken of thrust/pullback.
HERRENKNECHT DIRECT PIPE SYSTEM: The Direct Pipe system is designed for pipeline applications, combining the processes of micro-tunneling and horizontal directional drilling.
TORO DD2226 HDD The DD2226 delivers 2,600 lb.-ft. of rotational torque and 22,000 pounds of thrust and pullback. Dual rear stabilizers provide additional stability in uneven terrain.
TT TECHNOLOGIES GRUNDOPIT MINI DIRECTIONAL DRILL The pit-launched Grandpoint mini directional drill is designed for tight working conditions.
D8X12 HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILL Vermeer has expanded its line of utility-installation equipment with the new compact D8x12 horizontal directional drill.
DITCH WITCH JT40 DIRECTIONAL DRILL The JT40 horizontal directional drill has a 160-horsepower Cummins QSB4.5 diesel engine.
HAMMERHEAD ROUGHNECK R500 PNEUMATIC HAMMER ROCK DRILLING SYSTEM: The Roughneck R500 pneumatic hammer rock drilling system is capable of drilling 6.25-inch- diameter holes at penetration rates of up to 150 feet an hour, the company says.
