Bluegrass Technologies is a young and dynamic organisation, led by a team of experienced engineers with more than 25 years of expertise in trenchless pipeline installation field. Bluegrass Technologies, is paving the way for innovative, sustainable infrastructure development. Our commitment to precision engineering, safety, efficiency, and environmental stewardship positions us at the forefront of the industry, offering our clients seamless, cost-effective means to achieve their infrastructure goals.

MicroTunnelling Services

Bluegrass Technologies provides innovative MicroTunnelling services, a trenchless approach that uses remote-controlled systems and specialised equipment to accurately lay pipes in industries including water, sewage, and oil & gas.

Benefits of MicroTunnelling:

Suitable for all ground conditions, including high water pressure settings. Hydraulic tunnel face support ensures maximum safety during tunnelling. Ideal tunnelling technology for non-man entry diameter range.

Enables precise control over vertical and horizontal curves, even with small radii. Use of intermediate jacking stations allows for very long pipe jacking for stretches over 1,000 metres.

MicroTunneling at Bluegrass Technologies leverages state-of-the-art technology to ensure precision, efficiency, and minimal environmental impact. Our equipment and processes are at the forefront of trenchless technology, offering unparalleled accuracy and safety in underground infrastructure development.

Maximum safety for larger diameters

Micro tunnelling technology now allows for greater safety in non-homogeneous and unstable geological situations, as well as larger diameters. Machines include an extra pressure chamber behind the excavation chamber. Similar to Mix shields, support pressure is managed via a communication line and an automated air cushion within the pressure chamber. This improves control over diverse tunnel faces and decreases pressure peaks in excavation chambers. These machines are ideal for tunnelling operations that require sensitivity to settlement, even with strong groundwater pressure and shallow overburden.

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) Services

Bluegrass Technologies uses cutting-edge Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) technique for laying of pipelines and underground utilities, in the field of oil and gas, slurry, water, telecom and power cables. HDD allows for precision installation with minimal environmental impact by creating a pilot bore from the surface and then enlarging it to pull the desired pipe through.

Why choose HDD?

Our HDD approach provides significant advantages over traditional open-cut procedures, demonstrating our commitment to sustainability and efficiency.

1. Environmental Stewardship: HDD decreases the ecological imprint of pipeline projects, making it an environmentally responsible solution.

3. Strategic Depth Installation: HDD allows for safe pipeline installation at predetermined depths.

4. Cost-Effective Solutions: Our effective HDD methodology reduces project expenses by saving on labour, time, and restoration costs.

2. Operational Safety and Minimal Disruption: HDD’s trenchless approach provides safe operations without affecting surface activities or local residents, allowing for uninterrupted everyday living.

Technological expertise is our strength

Bluegrass Technologies consistently improves its HDD services by using state-of-the-art equipment and processes to ensure precision and safety standards.

We have HDD Rigs from 60 to 500 tonnes and can handle projects of any size and complexity.

We use modern Paratrack Guidance Steering tools, which are controlled remotely from the Control Cabin to drill precise pilot holes and follow the desired trajectory while protecting existing infrastructure.

We use specialised reaming tools, such as Barrel Reamers and Fly Cutters for softer terrain and Hole Openers for rocky strata, to enlarge the borehole to the appropriate diameter for pipe installation while maintaining geological integrity.

Our mud systems prioritise environmental sustainability by processing materials efficiently, recycling cuttings from boreholes, and reusing them responsibly.

Eco-Conscious Drilling Fluids: We use environmentally safe drilling fluids and thorough operational planning to maintain ecological integrity.

Tailored Project Approach

Bluegrass Technologies conducts thorough assessments for each project to provide a tailored approach that takes into account geological conditions, environmental standards, and infrastructural needs. HDD is best suited for sensitive regions, densely populated urban areas, or locations with physical barriers.

Our staff offers full support for all equipment and services, ensuring optimal use of technology and skills in each project. Our inventory is continuously updated and thoroughly maintained, demonstrating our commitment to reliability and service excellence.

HDD Equipment

Direct Pipe Service

Bluegrass Technologies Direct Pipe Technology enables pipeline installation under diverse geological conditions. This method combines the benefits of Micro tunnelling and Horizontal Directional Drilling technologies. A prefabricated pipeline can be constructed in one step while the borehole is excavated. This method enables rapid and cost-effective installation of pipelines longer than 1,500 metres.

Minimum Footprint, Maximum Efficiency

The Direct Pipe approach minimises equipment footprint at launch and receiving points. This system is suitable for densely populated residential areas, as it requires just shallow launch and receiving pits, reducing the need for deep shaft construction. Following excavation, the micro tunnelling machine is recovered in 2-3 metre segments. Finally, the supply and discharge lines are withdrawn from the pipeline, completing the crossing, and installing the pipeline in one action.

Combination of two technologies

The soil from the launch pit is dug using a slurrysupported Micro tunnelling Machine (AVN).

DIRECT PIPE PROJECTS

Excavated material is pumped through a slurry circuit in a prefabricated pipeline to an aboveground separation plant. The pipeline is laid out on rollers and welded to the end of the micro tunnelling equipment, then pushed into the borehole during excavation. The Pipe Thruster provides up to 500-750 tonnes of thrust in 5-meter increments, propelling the MicroTunnelling equipment forward alongside the pipeline.

The Pipe Thruster’s clamping unit transfers the thrust force to the pipeline, which is subsequently directed to the cutterhead.

Slurry-supported tunnelling technology allows for safe and constant management of the tunnel face during excavation, even in soils that are water-permeable.

The gyro-based TUnIS Navigation MTGyro system manages uphill and downhill grades, as well as precise curve drives along pipeline alignments, providing superior visibility than existing navigation technologies.

One Side Drilling

The Direct Pipe approach places the complete jobsite infrastructure, including the prefabricated pipeline, on one side of the crossing. This technology is perfect for creating sea outfalls (landfalls) where the pipeline is constructed directly from the mainland to open water, as it reduces logistics costs and footprint requirements at the reception site. After completing the specified distance, the machine can be recovered from the sea or lakebed.
