Frequently Asked Question

Can You Bore Under a Sydney Road Without Closing It?

A trenchless crossing can reduce open cutting, but traffic and authority controls still depend on the road and work area.

Underboring can move a conduit or casing beneath a road between pits, which may reduce the amount of pavement opened. It does not automatically remove the need for traffic management, permits, pedestrian protection or road-authority approval.

The road classification, pit positions and work zone should be assessed before committing to a method. Include the traffic-control plan in the excavation brief.
