Forepoling Pipes are essential support elements used in tunneling and underground excavation to reinforce weak ground before excavation begins.
Installed by pushing or drilling ahead of the tunnel face, these pipes are typically filled with grout injection, creating a reinforced arch effect that stabilizes the soil above the tunnel.
This method prevents collapses, enhances excavation safety, and ensures controlled progress even in difficult geological conditions.
Manufactured from high-strength steel at Northic Group’s facilities in Ankara and Ereğli, forepoling pipes are available in various sizes and specifications to meet project-specific requirements.
Engineered for the Gulf region’s demanding environments—including metro construction in the UAE, large tunneling projects in Saudi Arabia, and infrastructure works in Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman—our forepoling pipes deliver reliable, safe, and cost-effective ground support solutions.
