Trenchless technology operates in highly sensitive environments—whether in dense cities or remote locations. Deep excavation is dangerous, disruptive, and costly. Traditional methods increase risks, environmental impact, and project delays.
AdaptX provides a safe, efficient, and cost-effective alternative with a minimal surface footprint. No deep trenches, no excessive ground disturbance—just a streamlined, precision-guided drilling system.
Keyhole Installation – The Precision of AdaptX
AdaptX utilises a small-diameter entry point, installing pipelines without disturbing surrounding infrastructure. The process starts with two precisely excavated shafts:
Each shaft is safe, structurally reinforced, and compliant with occupational safety standards.
Every Millimetre Counts
Laser-Guided Accuracy
Outcome: Microtunnelling with millimetre precision, ensuring a perfect pipeline path every time.
Unlike traditional methods, vacuum microtunnelling ensures:
Minimal Ground Disturbance: The vacuum extracts soil immediately, leaving the bore stable
Lower Shaft Requirements: Reduced excavation saves costs and improves site safety.
More Efficient Drilling: Only the necessary material is removed, eliminating unnecessary stress on surrounding ground.
AdaptX vs. Traditional Microtunnelling
Outcome: Increased safety, improved efficiency, and reduced human error.
Unparalleled control in unpredictable conditions.
AdaptX Advantage: Modular setup allows multiple installation methods from one system.
