Managing underground services with minimal negative impact.
About Us
SA Trenchless is based in Brakpan, Gauteng. We are a BEE Level: 4 company that specialises in the replacement and upgrading of underground services such as water and sewerage. We utilise trenchless and moling methods and equipment.
The business was founded by Mr. F.H. Bouwer in 2021, who has taken the initiative to introduce these low impact methods in a market where few companies operate.
Trenchless technology is a subsurface construction technique requiring few or no continuous trenches. It minimises or eliminates the need for excavation for installing, repairing and renewing underground pipes, ducts and cables.
Moling is a trenchless method used to lay pipes in the construction industry, by using a pneumatically driven machine, known as a mole, which forces its way through the soil along the desired path of the pipe. Moling is used for water, sewerage, gas and fibre installation.
SA Trenchless has successfully won tenders with the City of Tswane and City of Jo’burg. Our service is of benefit to domestic, commercial and municipal properties.
Why Choose Us
Our experience and excellent workmanship render constructive solutions to repair damaged services by avoiding traditional excavation methods resulting in major disruptions.
We are able to attend to services that are located in confined areas, e.g. sewerage line midblocks, which are inaccessible for large equipment.
Projects that are in high traffic zones experience minimal disturbance using our methods.
We have a combination of over 25 years’ experience in the construction industry and are proficient in the specialised equipment necessary for trenchless and moling technology.
Trenchless technology is a rapidly growing sector in the construction and civil engineering industries. We utilise a combination of methods, materials and equipment capable of installing, replacing or rehabilitating existing underground infrastructure.
Our team has been involved in major maintenance contracts addressing water and sewerage projects for the Ekurhuleni Municipality valued at over R100 million each.
