Urban pipelines, when conceived, were meant to provide passage to fluids like water, rain runoff, sewage, petroleum, or other energy products. Primary consideration of employing a pipeline for such transportation has been that such mode yields the most economic and viable as the fluid flowing through them is not exposed anywhere and therefore there would be very slim chances of it getting polluted or polluting the environment en route to the intended destination.
As long as the pipeline is above ground or exposed, the networks meet these aims as any leakage or damage can be rectified immediately upon detection. But in urban settings, the pipelines are seldom above ground and damage rectifications are comparatively difficult since the detections are normally very late and at times rectifications are impossible due to extensive damages. Trenchless Techniques offer solutions for such difficult situations through which such rectification processes can be executed successfully.
Today’s a large portion of subsurface utility network development and management activities in India and other South Asian Nations are devoid of trenchless applications. An optimization of processes and economization of scarce resources can be successfully achieved if trenchless techniques are also considered in the technique selection process.
Such activity, however, can be undertaken if the executing engineer or the decision maker is abreast of such techniques and their selection processes. Such knowledge can be acquired by detailed classroom training and related workshop exposure. Trenchless Pipeline Manager is one such training planned by IndSTT and KUT. Trenchless Pipeline Manager Certificate course is structured to address the requirements of subsurface utility pipeline construction which include development and management of networks. The trained engineers are expected to be able to engineer, design, supervise the construction, manage and maintain the subsurface pipelines successfully. The course is being developed by KUT jointly with IndSTT and is expected to be a major tool for capacity building in the Trenchless Technology Sector of South Asian Construction Industry.
