I agree with Oldestguy, experience and good sound judgement are all import in this work. I would talk with some contractors who do the kind and size of work you are talking about as to the kind of training and experience they req’r. I would talk with the manufacturers of the various pieces of equip. which would be used, again type of work and size can change everything. Pipe dia. can vary from a few inches to many feet in dia., and soil conditions can vary drastically, and determine methods and equip. used. The underground construction and tunneling industries have several different organizations/associations which offer education and training in various methods, and many of the equipment manuf’ers. offer training on their own equip. and the special needs and features there equip.
