New Frontiers of Trenchless Technology in India

During the past 25 years, trenchless technology has become a major part of construction industry in India. Dr Niranjan Swarup elaborates on the emerging trends in trenchless technology in India and the opportunities for the world

Trenchless evolutions

The Indian trenchless industry assisted by international counterparts has now evolved trenchless code of practices that helps in charting the proper course of action.

Advancing Trenchless Standardisation

The role of standards is quite important in the context of Indian trenchless projects. Dr Niranjan Swarup explains the needs for standards that suit Indian conditions and the future directions in this regard.

Applications in India: issues and Solutions

Indian subsurface construction requirements are unparallelled and through proper interventions, we can realise this dream. Dr Niranjan Swarup elaborates on the challenges and issues in trenchless applications in India and the solutions to overcome these challenges.

Trenchless Technology & Physical Infrastructure in India

On account of several benefits, trenchless technology is becoming the first choice in many construction projects. Dr Niranjan Swarup elaborates more on the importance, benefits and demand trends of this technology in India.

Critical inputs for trenchless projects

The success of trenchless projects depends on the provision and assimilation of several critical inputs during the planning and execution phases. Such inputs, if provided in sufficient extent at an opportune time, will lead to a successful trenchless project, else it will be a failure of varying extent depending upon inadequacies, writes Prof (Dr) Niranjan Swarup.

Switching from conventional to microtunnelling

Prof. Niranjan Swarup discusses the impediments faced by urban local bodies, the reasons for selecting the microtunnelling technique, project related issues, learning from the situation, and proposed working methodology.

Trenchless Project Supervision

The Indian Society for Trenchless Technology (IndSTT) has come out with a Manual of Trenchless Project Supervision to provide necessary inputs for project supervision works.
