The staff at Moorhead Public Service (MPS), a municipal utility of the City of Moorhead, understand the benefits of trenchless technologies and continue to effectively utilize them every year as part of their water main replacement program. When water main replacement is required, but a full street reconstruction is not necessary, trenchless construction becomes very attractive and cost effective. In the past 10 years, many MPS projects have involved trenchless construction using horizontal directional drilling (HDD), pipe bursting and sliplining methods.
