Microtunneling Safety Equipment for Sewers, Pipelines and Other Infrastructure Projects

As the demand for efficient, less disruptive methods of laying infrastructure grows, so does the complexity of the operations involved. The industry’s commitment to safety and range of microtunneling safety equipment not only ensures the protection of its workforce but also guarantees the longevity and reliability of the infrastructure being installed.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) in microtunneling includes helmets, eye protection, high-visibility clothing, steel-toed boots, and gloves. Given the underground nature of the work, additional gear such as respirators or breathing apparatuses may be necessary to protect against potential air quality issues.

Underground construction sites are prone to the accumulation of hazardous gases. Equipment such as gas detectors and air quality monitors are crucial to detect any harmful gases early and ensure that ventilation is adequate.

Robust communication systems are also vital in microtunneling operations to ensure that all team members, especially those monitoring the operation remotely, are in constant contact. This facilitates immediate response in case of emergencies or when adjustments are needed. Carroll’s communication equipment range includes leaky feeder systems for a reliable, wireless communications infrastructure, portable, wireless communication solutions for exploration or rescue operations,  mine phones, digital two-way radios and more.
