| Category | Trenchless (No Dig) | Dig & Replace |
|---|---|---|
| Operations & Uptime | Access-point work; phased nights/weekends; facilities stay online | Wide excavation, barricades, closures, and detours |
| Cost & Schedule | Short, predictable timelines; lower total cost when downtime/restoration counted | Demo, trench, shoring, backfill, repave; longer restoration |
| Safety & Compliance | Smaller zones; fewer open trenches; clear documentation | Larger detours and open excavations increase risk |
| Environmental | Less excavation & trucking; reduced noise/dust; smaller footprint | More spoil hauling; longer site recovery |
| Engineering & Performance | CIPP/spot repair; seals infiltration; smooth bore improves flow | New pipe good; joints and disturbed soils add variability |
