E-Power Pipe® – Pioneering technology for the energy transition

Safe and efficient energy transmission is a key component of the energy transition. With E-Power Pipe®, we offer an innovative, trenchless technology that has been specially developed for the underground expansion of high-voltage lines. This process enables high-voltage cables to be laid in a space-saving and environmentally friendly manner without the need for extensive earthworks.

Heitkamp Construction Swiss GmbH is the first company worldwide to procure its own E-Power Pipe® system, setting new standards in trenchless pipe laying.

Heitkamp Energy Infra GmbH

Through our subsidiary Heitkamp Energy Infra GmbH, we will carry out several drillings for high-voltage cables along the Hanover–Würzburg route, thereby making an important contribution to the construction of high-voltage transmission grids in Germany.

Advantages of the E-Power Pipe® method

  • Minimal space requirements – no wide trenches or trenches necessary
  • Maximum precision – even over long distances and in challenging geological conditions
  • Fast implementation – highly efficient construction method over longer distances
  • Sustainability – minimal impact on nature and the environment, low CO2 emissions
  • Economic efficiency – lower costs compared to other trenchless methods for comparable projects

Sustainability – Environmentally friendly construction for the future

The E-Power Pipe® method is not only technically innovative, but also a particularly sustainable solution for the expansion of high-voltage direct current transmission grids (HVDC). Compared to open construction methods, our process significantly reduces the impact on the environment, economy, and society:

Ecological advantages: 90% less earthworks → protection of flora and fauna

Economic advantages: 45% less building materials → lower costs thanks to optimized cable spacing

Social advantages: 75% less land used → less disruption to inhabited and used areas

You can find more exciting information about the advantages of this process in the following Sheet.

Our process is particularly suitable for energy suppliers and network operators who want to expand their infrastructure in an environmentally friendly way and are looking for alternatives to trenchless construction methods.
