SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH · RESIDENTIAL SEWER
A new lateral.
A deep sewer connection.
Trenchless installation. A practical approach beneath the surface.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Below the surface.
Chamba Trenchless completed a residential sewer lateral installation in Salt Lake City using horizontal directional drilling. The project required a new sewer service with minimal surface disturbance and a connection to a deep utility vault. A trenchless approach reduced the need for continuous excavation across the property and limited restoration requirements.
THE CHALLENGE
Deep connections.
Careful coordination.
The installation required detailed planning and careful execution to manage the site’s conditions.
- Deep utility vault connection
- Groundwater infiltration within the excavation
- Maintaining proper sewer grade requirements
- Limited excavation area
- Existing underground utilities requiring careful coordination
THE SOLUTION
A trenchless route
for a new sewer service.
Chamba Trenchless used horizontal directional drilling to install the new lateral while minimizing disruption to the surrounding area.
- Directional bore installation
- HDPE sewer service pipe
- Deep vault connection
- Groundwater management during construction
- Final connection and testing
THE RESULT
Connected below.
Less restoration above.
- New sewer lateral successfully installed
- Minimal surface disruption
- Reduced restoration requirements
- Safe connection into existing utility infrastructure
- Project completed using trenchless construction methods
WHY TRENCHLESS?
An alternative to
continuous excavation.
In many situations, horizontal directional drilling offers a practical alternative to extensive excavation, reducing impacts to landscaping, pavement, and existing site improvements.
Every project is unique. The best installation method depends on site conditions, utility conflicts, grade requirements, and access constraints.
