Timber Headings Services

ECCET has over 20 years experience in Timber headings. This technique is commonly used when there is a large number of services in the line of the pipework preventing a traditional open-cut method by excavators. Timber headings are constructed by hand using timber sets to support the excavation, the services can then be installed through the tunnel by hand.

Timber heading is a great technique for housing builders who want to connect their new sewerage/stormwater pipes to existing services, this prevents the disruption of traffic and pedestrian walkways when underground construction is being carried out.
