What’s the difference between microtunnelling and AXIS?

The main difference between microtunnelling and the Vermeer AXIS guided boring system is the fact that AXIS achieves pinpoint accuracy, while also achieving excellent productivity.

Edge Underground founder and Managing Director Stuart Harrison invented the Vermeer AXIS guided boring system. After 25 years of installing sewer and water pipelines, Stuart developed the Vermeer AXIS guided boring system to fill what he saw as a gap in the market.

“Over the years I have worked with various microtunnelling equipment which might offer extreme accuracy, but could be cumbersome and time-consuming to work with,” said Stuart.

“I wanted to combine accuracy with productivity and as AXIS inventor I know I have done that.”
