Rob Carr: Flexibility is the key to success
Backed by more than 30 years’ experience, Rob Carr has become a reputable name for utilities infrastructure and a market leader in microtunnelling and complex underground works.
Since it joined VINCI Group, the company has been able to improve its financial capability to bid, design and construct bigger and more challenging projects.
One of the keys to the company’s success is its fleet of 30 microtunnelling machines, with the largest diameter being 2,180 mm, covering all ground conditions.
“With our fleet of 30 microtunneling machines, we cover a range of pipeline diameters for trenchless construction,” a spokesperson for the company said.
The machines are supported by a wide ranging ancillary equipment fleet in the form of control cabins, jacking frames, slurry separation tanks and systems, gantry cranes, and more.
“These tools are fundamental when it comes to trenchless construction as it improves accuracy,” the company said.
Rob Carr uses trenchless techniques to successfully construct tunnels for pipeline infrastructure beneath major roads, railways, runways, waterways and environmentally sensitive areas.
The company uses two main techniques for mirotunnelling: slurry pressure balanced micro tunnelling, and pilot auger soil displacement tunnelling.
Recently, the company also invested in German Herrenknecht AVN technology to facilitate the growth of the business into larger scale tunnelling projects.
