Trenchless Technology Trenchless Construction Drilling Pipe Trenchless technology represents a kind of subsurface construction methodology that necessitates minimal or no continuous trenching. Constituting a swiftly expanding segment of the construction and civil engineering domain, it can be delineated as “a set of techniques, materials, and machinery that can be employed for installing fresh or substitute underground infrastructure, or for revamping the prevailing ones, with negligible interruption to surface traffic, commerce, and other pursuits.” Trenchless Technology Trenchless Construction Drilling Pipe Trenchless construction encompasses various methods such as tunneling, microtunneling (MTM), horizontal directional drilling (HDD), also referred to as directional boring, pipe ramming (PR), pipe jacking (PJ), moling, horizontal auger boring (HAB), and other underground pipeline and cable installation techniques that minimize excavation. Large-scale subsurface projects like those employing a tunnel boring machine (TBM) or drilling and blasting methods are extensions of this concept on a grander scale. The distinction between trenchless […]
JSC is an ISO 17025 NDT Lab / Company (CNAS) ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is an international standard specifying requirements for quality and competence in testing and calibration laboratories. The standard requires that such labs prioritise excellent quality practices and develop a reliable quality management system to establish and demonstrate their competence. The full standard is called ISO/IEC 17025, since the certification was created by the International Organization for Standardization in conjunction with the International Electrotechnical Commission. However, many shorten this to ISO 17025 or simply 17025 certification when referring to the standard. Ultimately, ISO 17025 is for any organization that performs testing, sampling or calibration and wants to be sure of the reliability of their results. The simplest way we can put it: if you work in a testing environment that produces measurable results, then ISO 17025 is probably applicable. This may even mean you don’t necessarily call your facility a […]
