Introducing the Multi-Platform ADB48: The World’s First Hybrid Powered All-Geology Trenchless Multi-tool

This blog post introduces the Multi-Platform, the worlds first all-in-one trenchless solution capable of boring through all geologies using multiple boring modules using green power. This modular, flexible system revolutionizes underground utility construction, offering six boring methods or modules (two of them proprietary) embedded in just one machine, for various ground conditions.

What is the difference between “trenchless tunneling” and “tunneling”, anyway?

Trenchless technology and tunneling technology are often used interchangeably, but they have very different applications and require different construction technologies. We describe these differences between trenchless and tunneling in this post.

Removing Thrust Force From The Excavation Equation

For hundreds, if not thousands of years, we’ve been excavating the ground the same way: by coming into contact with it. All earth moving systems to date have been high-contact systems. In this post, we describe the limitations of excavating rock using mechanical methods and why our Jet Bore is so groundbreaking.

Why We Started Phoenix Boring

Phoenix Boring was founded to revolutionize underground construction by advancing innovative trenchless technology that minimizes disruption and tackles even the most challenging geologies, continuing the mission started with Zilper Trenchless and Petra. Our success in delivering complex projects and the commitment to our technology attracted investor support, allowing us to build a company ready to reshape the industry
