Episode Synopsis

Modern cities depend on miles of underground pipes, but tearing up roads to repair or replace them isn’t always practical. This video explores how underground pipes are installed and renewed without digging up streets, sidewalks, or neighborhoods. You’ll learn the fundamentals behind trenchless technologies like pipe boring, cured-in-place pipe lining, and other innovative methods that allow crews to work below the surface while minimizing disruption above ground.We break down how these techniques work, why municipalities and utilities choose them, and what advantages they offer compared to traditional open-cut excavation. From reducing traffic impacts to extending the life of aging infrastructure, trenchless technology plays a major role in keeping water, sewer, and utility systems running smoothly. If you enjoy learning how everyday infrastructure is built and maintained, this is a clear, practical look at the engineering happening beneath your feet.
