Explore the benefits of Trenchless Technology

Aging underground infrastructure presents communities with growing challenges, but replacing critical utilities does not always require disruptive excavation. WSB’s trenchless technology services help municipalities, utilities, and public agencies rehabilitate, replace, and install underground infrastructure while minimizing impacts to residents, businesses, roadways, and the environment. Backed by decades of municipal engineering experience, our team identifies practical, cost-effective solutions that extend asset life and improve long-term system performance.

Our experts specialize in

Watermain Lining

Extends the life of existing water systems while improving reliability and reducing construction impacts.

Pipe Bursting

Replaces aging underground pipes while maintaining existing alignment and minimizing surface disruption.

Directional Drilling

Installs new underground utilities beneath roads, waterways, and developed areas with limited excavation.

Sanitary Sewer Pipelining

Restores aging sewer infrastructure by installing a new liner inside existing pipes, extending asset life while minimizing excavation and community disruption.

Why go trenchless?

  • Cost savings through extending the useful life of the current infrastructure system.
  • Attractive low-construction option in urbanized areas with heavy vehicular traffic.
  • Lack of disturbance preserves surrounding quality of life conditions for residents, storefronts and pedestrian traffic.
  • Less disturbance to underground utilities and surrounding structures, preventing further potential problems.

City of Tulsa – Storm Sewer Assessment Program

In 2015, the City of Tulsa began on a bold and forward-thinking initiative: a comprehensive, citywide storm sewer assessment program. At the time, few municipalities had ventured into this kind of infrastructure evaluation. Sanitary sewer assessments were common, driven by health regulations, but storm sewer systems—often out of sight and out of mind—rarely received the same attention. Tulsa’s decision to prioritize this work was not only visionary; it was transformative.
