The Herrenknecht E-Power Pipe method is used for the trenchless installation of small diameter product pipes at shallow depths. Over long distances of up to two kilometers, both pressure-resistant and non-pressure-resistant product pipes are installed quickly, reliably and precisely. The two-stage process integrates aspects of the proven Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) technology and pipe jacking (microtunnelling). Even with the most diverse project requirements, E-Power Pipe offers possibilities of mechanized installing near-surface protective pipes and pipelines – with extremely minimal interventions in the landscape.

The broad spectrum of applications ranges from the installation of cable protection pipes or underground cables for the expansion of the power grid to pipelines for gas supply, district heating or the transport of hydrogen.
