Trenchless Solutions Limited was contracted to install a new section of gravity drainage using trenchless techniques at North Manchester Golf Course as part of infrastructure improvements.
The project required a high level of installation accuracy to accommodate vitrified clay jacking pipes beneath landscaped grounds, with minimal disruption to the surrounding environment. The site presented challenges including restricted access, sensitive ground conditions, and the need to preserve the integrity of the golf course.
A trenchless approach using a PERFORATOR GmbH Guided Auger Boring system was selected to minimise surface disruption and ensure precise line and level control.
Working on behalf of Urban Regen, Trenchless Solutions Limited completed the installation of vitrified clay drainage pipes using a guided auger boring technique.
The works involved the installation of the pipeline via a pilot bore, followed by auger boring operations and the jacking of the product pipe into final position. Optical guidance systems were utilised throughout to maintain accuracy of line, level, and gradient.
All works were carried out within confined launch and reception shafts, ensuring minimal impact on the surrounding golf course and maintaining safe, controlled operations throughout.
