Introduction
Mumbai, a city that never stops moving, is home to one of the most densely populated areas in the world — Dharavi. Known globally for its scale, complexity, and cultural significance, Dharavi also poses some of the most challenging conditions for urban infrastructure development. Yet, Savik Global, in collaboration with BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation), is leading the charge in micro tunneling operations here — ensuring progress without disrupting the pulse of the city.
What is Micro Tunneling?
Micro tunneling is a trenchless technology used to construct underground pipelines, especially in congested urban environments. Unlike conventional excavation methods, micro tunneling allows for the installation of utility lines without disturbing surface activity — making it ideal for busy cityscapes like Dharavi.

Why Dharavi? Why Micro Tunneling?
Dharavi’s Complexity: With over 1 million people in just 2.1 sq. km, Dharavi is a vibrant but ultra-dense locality. Traditional construction here is impractical and disruptive.
Urban Continuity: BMC’s priority was to upgrade underground utilities while maintaining daily life — schools, hospitals, transport, and businesses couldn’t be halted.
Savik’s Role: Our advanced micro tunneling technology enabled seamless underground construction, with pinpoint precision, zero surface disruption, and on-time delivery.

Engineering in Action – The Savik Advantage
Advanced Tunneling Equipment capable of operating in tight corridors
Real-time monitoring and steering for high-accuracy bore paths
Minimal surface footprint — no road closures, no community displacement
Executed in collaboration with BMC’s urban planning teams
Impact of the Project
Improved underground sewer and utility lines in Dharavi
Reduced maintenance issues for local authorities
A model for future infra development in sensitive zones across India
Conclusion
The Dharavi micro tunneling project is a symbol of what modern infrastructure should be — precise, efficient, and respectful of the urban environment. At Savik Global, we are proud to help Mumbai build the future — silently, powerfully, and without disruption.
Savik Global — Building Tomorrow, Today.
