Sewer lateral replacement under Orchard Farms driveway
Root-intruded sewer — static burst from pit to main, concrete driveway preserved.

Tunneling / TBM in Loveland, CO
Pipe bursting in Loveland for sewer and water lateral replacement in Orchard Farms and Boyd Lake neighborhoods — no open trench through Big Thompson flood-memory driveways.
Tunneling / TBM in Loveland, Colorado
Pipe bursting in Loveland restores sewer and water laterals in Orchard Farms, Centerra edges, and West Loveland without disturbing driveways and mature landscaping. Static bursting frags host pipe and pulls HDPE replacement through Larimer County clay — one entry and one exit pit replace a continuous trench.
Loveland's PVC and clay-tile sewer stock from 1970s–2000s subdivision builds carries root intrusion and offset joint failures confirmed by CCTV. Bursting handles these in-place rather than full pavement removal.
Big Thompson floodplain-adjacent lots require groundwater awareness during wet-season burst jobs.

How Tunneling / TBM Works in Loveland
Loveland burst crews CCTV-confirm host condition, pull 811-cleared locates, and coordinate LWP if alley contains distribution lines. Clay on central grids provides predictable friction. Big Thompson adjacent jobs carry seasonal groundwater planning.
Soil & Geology — Larimer County
Larimer County clay, Big Thompson alluvium, and sandy loam — foothill cobble toward Boyd Lake and west-side approaches.
Loveland bores hit clay on central grids, Big Thompson alluvium near the river and Boyd Lake edges, and sandy loam on east subdivision expansion zones. Foothill cobble west of Boyd Lake slows pilots without right bit programs.
Weather & Scheduling
Northern Front Range hail and Big Thompson River flood history push Loveland crews to plan seasonal water awareness and pit shoring on river-adjacent shots.
Big Thompson River spring runoff and flash-flood awareness are standard on west-side alignments. Summer hail affects exposed Centerra pads. We plan seasonal windows with your schedule.
811 Locates & Permits in Loveland
City of Loveland Public Works, Larimer County ROW, CDOT US-34 relocations, Big Thompson River floodplain on many paths.
City of Loveland Public Works handles permits; Larimer County ROW applies on edges. CDOT US-34 controls state corridor bores. Big Thompson floodplain permits reflect flood history — plan extra lead time on river-adjacent alignments.
Trenchless vs Open-Cut Here
Open-cut through Orchard Farms and Boyd Lake driveways adds concrete and landscape restoration that rivals utility cost — bursting trades that for two pits.

How we work
Our Process for Loveland Tunneling / TBM
Scope & Site Walk
You share plans or describe the problem; we confirm alignment, depth, access, and which trenchless method fits Colorado soils.
811 Ticket & Marks
Colorado 811 ticket filed; wait period before pits open unless your permit path differs. We pothole where marks conflict.
Profile & Permits
Bore plan, CDOT or city ROW permits, railroad agreements, and crossing engineering when the path leaves private property.
Rig Mobilization
Compact spread for tight Boulder lots; larger HDD for I-25 or I-70 relocations — matched to length and diameter.
Pilot & Ream
Steered pilot on design line, ream passes sized for your pipe or casing, fluid program tuned for clay or sandstone.
Pullback & Install
HDPE fusion, steel casing, or multi-duct bundle pulled with tension and bend-radius monitoring.
Test & As-Built
Pressure test, mandrel, or survey records for owners, inspectors, and operators as spec requires.
Restore & Closeout
Compact pits, replace sod or hardscape per scope, leave 811 ticket and locate map in your project file.
