ORR & highway crossings
Pipes taken under the Outer Ring Road, national and state highways and service roads, with traffic running above.
Jack pushing in Hyderabad Pipe pushing under roads, the ORR and railways
We push steel casing and RCC pipes under Hyderabad’s roads, highways and railway lines by manual pipe jacking. Hydraulic jacks drive the pipes from a pit beside the road while our crew digs at the face, so traffic never stops.
Under the ORR. Not across it.
As Hyderabad spreads past the Outer Ring Road, new water mains, sewers and stormwater lines keep having to cross it, along with national highways, railway lines and busy city roads. None of these can be dug up or closed for a pipeline.
Manual pipe jacking takes the pipe underneath. It also suits Hyderabad’s ground, where soil and murrum can turn to boulders and granite within a few metres: our crew works at the face inside the pipe, so they can break out rock as the pipe moves forward.

Crossings we build in Hyderabad
Railway crossings
Steel casing pipes under railway tracks and embankments, to the railway’s approved method and supervision.
City road crossings
Lines under main roads and junctions where a trench would block traffic for weeks.
Water supply mains
Large-diameter steel casings for trunk water mains, with the carrier pipe placed inside.
Sewer & stormwater
RCC NP4 jacking pipes for sewer and stormwater lines in built-up areas.
Nala crossings
Pipes taken beneath nalas and drains without diverting the flow.
How a Hyderabad crossing runs
Site visit
We walk the alignment, check existing utilities, soil, rock 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 & thrust wall
Jacking and receiving pits are dug beside the road, with a concrete thrust wall behind the jacks.
Lower & align
Pipes are lowered by crane onto guide rails, set to line and level.
Dig & push
The crew excavates soil and breaks rock at the face while the jacks push the string forward.
Grout & restore
The gap around the pipe is grouted and both pits are backfilled and restored.

Pipe jacking in Hyderabad: questions
Can you push pipes under the Outer Ring Road and highways in Hyderabad?
Yes. Crossings under the ORR, national and state highways and busy city roads are what manual pipe jacking is for. All work happens in pits on either side, so traffic keeps moving, and we work to the approved drawings and the road authority’s conditions.
Do you jack steel or RCC pipes?
Both. Large-diameter mild steel casing pipes are common for water mains and railway crossings around Hyderabad, and RCC NP4 jacking pipes are used for stormwater and sewer lines. The carrier pipe can be placed inside a steel casing afterwards.
What if we hit rock or boulders under the road?
That’s where manual jacking works well. Hyderabad’s ground often turns from soil and murrum to boulders and granite, and because our crew works at the face inside the pipe, they can break and remove rock as the pipe advances.
How long does a crossing take?
It depends on pipe size, crossing length and the ground. We give you a schedule with the quote, after the site visit and soil check.
