<p>A trench is dug under the pipe. A collapsible means formed by a supple and deformable envelope is conveyed into the trench as it is dug in a state folded or coiled upon itself.

The pipe is then lowered into and positioned in the trench by the escape of water out of the envelope through orifices or valves.</p> |
