Stormwater drain crossings
RCC pipes taking stormwater drains under roads, so floodwater has a clear path in the monsoon.
Jack pushing in Bengaluru Pipe pushing under roads, highways and railways in Bangalore
We push RCC and steel casing pipes under Bengaluru’s roads, highways and railway lines by manual pipe jacking. The jacks work from a pit beside the road while our crew digs at the face, so traffic keeps moving.
Bengaluru can’t stop for a trench. So we go under.
New stormwater drains, sewers and water mains keep having to cross Bengaluru’s busiest roads: the Outer Ring Road, Hosur Road, Tumakuru Road, Bellary Road and the railway lines that cut through the city. Closing any of them for an open trench means weeks of traffic chaos.
Manual pipe jacking takes the line underneath from two small pits. It copes well with Bengaluru’s red soil, murrum and weathered rock with boulders, because the crew at the face can see and remove whatever the pipe meets. Near lakes and valleys, we plan dewatering for the high water table.
Crossings we build in Bengaluru
Sewer lines
Sewer mains and connections pushed under roads and junctions in built-up areas.
Highway & ORR crossings
Crossings under the Outer Ring Road, national highways and service roads, with traffic running above.
Railway crossings
Steel casing pipes under railway tracks and embankments, to the railway’s approved method and supervision.
Water mains
Steel casings for water supply mains, with the carrier pipe placed inside.
Tech parks & industrial areas
Lines under internal roads, compound walls and buildings in tech parks and industrial areas.
How a Bengaluru crossing runs
Site visit
We walk the alignment, check existing utilities, soil and groundwater, and fix pit positions.
Method & quote
A clear method, pipe and pit details, schedule and quote, ready to go with your approvals.
Pits & dewatering
Jacking and receiving pits are dug and shored beside the road, with dewatering where the water table is high.
Thrust wall & rails
A concrete thrust wall goes behind the jacks and guide rails are set to line and level.
Dig & push
The crew excavates at the face while the jacks push the pipes forward, one at a time.
Grout & restore
The gap around the pipes is grouted and both pits are backfilled and restored.

Pipe jacking in Bengaluru: questions
Can you push pipes under highways and the ORR in Bengaluru?
Yes. Crossings under the Outer Ring Road, national highways like Hosur Road, Tumakuru Road and Bellary Road, and busy city roads are what manual pipe jacking is for. Work happens in pits on either side, and we follow the approved drawings and the road authority’s conditions.
What about high groundwater near Bengaluru’s lakes?
Areas near lakes and valleys can have a high water table. We check it during the site survey and plan dewatering at the pits and along the alignment where needed, so the face stays dry and stable.
Do you jack steel or RCC pipes in Bengaluru?
Both. RCC NP4 jacking pipes suit stormwater and sewer lines, and mild steel casing pipes suit water mains and railway crossings, with the carrier pipe placed inside.
How long does a crossing take?
It depends on pipe size, crossing length and the ground. You get a schedule with the quote, after the site visit and soil check.
