Rolkon has been actively engaged with various municipal departments offering insight and guidance on how trenchless services can aid in repairs, rerouting and replacement of underground services damaged by KZN’s devastating floods.
Rolkon has significant local experience in all areas of civil engineering and through trenchless services such as Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) can offer a solution-orientated approach to the installation and repair of sewer lines, water lines, electrical cables, fibre connections and telecommunication lines.

The benefits of trenchless construction are many and are why it is fast becoming the new standard by which many jobs are planned.
- Minimal Disruption: With a smaller construction footprint and the option of being able to work in the right of way, disruptions are greatly reduced.
- Saves Time: Decreased disturbance mean less time to complete and less inconvenience associated with the project.
- Decreased Rehabilitation Time: Because trenchless construction methods require little digging, the time to rehabilitate the work area to ‘as found’ or better condition is decreased.
- Environmental Sensitivity: This technique allows for infrastructure to be installed under buildings, forests, wetlands and bodies of water.
- Added Value: Trenchless construction can result in 30% more value for money on a given project.
- Save On Costs: Trenchless is fast and efficient meaning cost saving in direct, and consequential terms.
- Skill Development and Labour: Trenchless technology uses skilled labour and thus growing the trenchless industry will increase the resource pool of skilled labour which in turn results in higher wages.
