Where pipes, cables or any underground service needs to cross a railway line underground, pipejacking can be used.
However this is very expensive and where practical a cheaper and quicker and safer solution is the hand trenching by trained Trackworkers with a qualified Trackmaster under the railway.
Trenching alongside or in a rail reserve must also be done by trained Trackworkers with a Trackmaster due to the existing Railway underground services and earthworks.
It is the Trackmaster who ensures that the Rail Safety is not get intact and safe.
