The article provides an analysis of modern trenchless technologies for the construction of communication networks, which include pipelines for water and energy supply, electrical cables and communication cables. Since trenchless laying of communications involves creating a cavity in the soil, the relevant technical means and processes that occur in this process were reviewed.

Due to the fact that the purpose of the environmental expertise of works production projects is to minimize anthropogenic and technical impact on the environment, preserve and improve their properties for the sake of human health, the purpose of the article was to identify the features of these technologies from the point of view of environmental safety. The paper analyzed the current standards and requirements for environmental safety for each standardization object separately. Namely: protection of water resources, protection of the air basin, protection of the quality and properties of soils.

Considering that earthworks are associated with a significant loss of crop yields, an additional assessment of the impact of soil structural changes on the yield was made when creating wells in the soil by radial compaction. Relevant conclusions and practical recommendations for trenchless laying of underground communications were made.

Trends in the development of modern construction technologies are moving towards trenchless methods of construction work, which have their own characteristics and impact on environmental safety. Consideration of modern trenchless technologies from the point of view of environmental safety is a relevant issue.
