  The carbon calculator
In 2007 PW Trenchless in conjunction with NASTT-BC linked the use of trenchless and a low carbon footprint. To prove and substantiate this fact we developed a carbon calculator allowing designers to compare different methods of trenchless construction and conventional open cut construction.
