It consists of laying pipes from the mainland towards the sea, lakes or lagoons using a thrust shaft and recovering the TBM from the seabed in hydraulic equilibrium conditions.<\/p>\n<p>This technology allows to solve all environmental problems that would result from an open-air excavation at the coast line. The most significant applications are those connected to sewer pipes, sewage or industrial, water intake ducts and, not least, pipelines in transit from the mainland to the sea such as oil and gas pipelines.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  column-top-margin\" style='border-radius:0px; '><div  class='av-horizontal-gallery av-horizontal-gallery-large-gap av-horizontal-gallery-enlarge-effect av-horizontal-gallery-1  avia-builder-el-4  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  av-control-default '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  style='padding: 3.75% 0px;' data-av-enlarge='1.3'  ><div class='avia-slideshow-arrows avia-slideshow-controls'><a href='#prev' class='prev-slide av-horizontal-gallery-prev' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue87c' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'>Previous<\/a><a href='#next' class='next-slide av-horizontal-gallery-next' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue87d' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'>Next <\/a><\/div><div class='av-horizontal-gallery-inner' style='padding-bottom:25%' data-av-height='25'><div class='av-horizontal-gallery-slider'><div class='av-horizontal-gallery-wrap noHover'><img class='av-horizontal-gallery-img' width='773' height='1030' src='https:\/\/www.icop.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2009_VeneziaMalamocco-2-scaled.jpg' title='2009_VeneziaMalamocco (2)' alt='' \/><a href='https:\/\/www.icop.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2009_VeneziaMalamocco-2-scaled.jpg'  class='av-horizontal-gallery-link' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue869' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title=''><\/a><\/div><div class='av-horizontal-gallery-wrap noHover'><img class='av-horizontal-gallery-img' width='1030' height='773' src='https:\/\/www.icop.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2010_LivornoSidra-5-scaled.jpg' title='2010_LivornoSidra (5)' alt='' \/><a href='https:\/\/www.icop.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2010_LivornoSidra-5-scaled.jpg'  class='av-horizontal-gallery-link' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue869' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title=''><\/a><\/div><div class='av-horizontal-gallery-wrap noHover'><img class='av-horizontal-gallery-img' width='1030' height='687' src='https:\/\/www.icop.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_1092-scaled.jpg' title='IMG_1092' alt='' \/><a href='https:\/\/www.icop.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_1092-scaled.jpg'  class='av-horizontal-gallery-link' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue869' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title=''><\/a><\/div><div class='av-horizontal-gallery-wrap noHover'><img class='av-horizontal-gallery-img' width='1024' height='682' src='https:\/\/www.icop.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_1116.jpg' title='IMG_1116' alt='' \/><a href='https:\/\/www.icop.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_1116.jpg'  class='av-horizontal-gallery-link' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue869' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title=''><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  column-top-margin\" style='border-radius:0px; '><section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The pipes are installed with the microtunnelling technique, employing various types of coatings with different diameters depending on the length and the geological conditions of the soil.
