en.Wedoany.com Report on Mar 26th, UK-based Joseph Gallagher Ltd (JGL) has recently invested in advanced trenchless technology equipment to enhance its underground construction capabilities and reduce environmental impact. The new equipment includes a Herrenknecht HK750 PT pipe jacking system, an AVN1500 micro-tunneling machine, a mobile filter press, and two BM800 auger boring machines.

This trenchless technology equipment can support critical national infrastructure projects such as carbon capture and clean energy. The technology enables high-precision tunnel boring and pipeline installation beneath sensitive areas like roads, railways, rivers, and coastal environments. Compared to traditional methods, it can reduce carbon emissions, spoil volumes, and waste, recycle process water, and lower noise, vibration, and land occupation.

The equipment will be first deployed for the Liverpool Bay Carbon Capture and Storage project, for which JGL has already secured a contract with United Infrastructure. This project will contribute to realizing the HyNet CO2 pipeline, which will transport captured carbon dioxide from facilities in Northwest England and North Wales to depleted natural gas reservoirs beneath the seabed of Liverpool Bay for storage.

The CEO of Joseph Gallagher stated: "The acquired equipment represents the latest development in our ongoing internal capability enhancement. Beyond our existing large-diameter tunnel boring, shaft sinking, and concrete structure capabilities, it will also enable us to provide design and construction solutions for pipelines and landing points within the utilities sector. This new equipment continues to support our philosophy of delivering the right engineering solution for every challenge."

This investment will strengthen JGL's competitiveness in the tunnel boring and non-destructive installation markets, promote the application of trenchless technology in complex underground engineering, and provide support for environmental protection and infrastructure development.
