Award-winning technology In 2024 Active Tunnelling was awarded its second NCE Tunnelling Award for Innovation in shaft design and construction. The award recognised the development of the HUSE system, a hydraulic underpinning segment erector, which was used on a regionally significant water project in Stroud. The introduction of the HUSE system delivered significant benefits to the project, including a 40% programme efficiency and associated carbon emissions reductions, zero accidents, and significant reductions in reworking.

• South Heath Culvert – a scheme where Active Tunnelling constructed in advance of the main HS2 scheme 750m of 1800mm dia pipe jacked outfall pipes, installed using micro tunnelling boring machines with five intermediate shafts.
• Stroud Strategy Scheme – a project which required the successful construction and installation of 1,700 metres of precast concrete jacking pipes using micro tunnelling equipment as well as a further 230 metres of precast concrete pipes installed using auger boring equipment. The various lengths of pipework installed required the construction of a deep 25m diameter shaft.
• Bottesford Beck – a 16m deep 25m diameter shaft for Severn Trent near Scunthorpe, the shaft included a reinforced concrete roof slab which enclosed a watertight attenuation chamber.
