    PIPE JACKING

    ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE

    • It is generally referred as “Micro tunneling”


    • Pipes are pushed through the ground behind the shield
    using powerful jacks.
    • Simultaneously excavation takes place within the shield.
    • This process is continued until the pipeline is
    completed.
    • The method provides a flexible, structural, watertight,
    finished pipeline as the tunnel is excavated.
    ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE Cont…

    • No theoretical limit to the length of individual pipelines.


    • Pipes range from 150mm to 3000mm diameter can be
    installed in straight line or in curvature.
    • Thrust wall is provided for the reaction of the jacks.
    • In case of poor soil, the thrust wall may punch inside the
    soil.
    • Then piles or ground anchoring methods can be used.
    PROCEDURE

    • The thrust pit and the reception pit are excavated at the
    required places.
    • Then the thrust wall is set up in the thrust pit according
    to the requirement.
    • In case of mechanized excavations, a very large pit is
    required.
    • But in case of manual excavation, a small pit is enough.
    • Thrust ring is provided to ensure the even distribution of
    stress along the circumference of the pipe.
    PROCEDURE Cont…

    • The number of jacks vary upon the frictional resistance


    of the soil, strength of pipes etc.,
    • The size of the reception pit is to be big enough to
    receive the jacking shield.
    • To maintain the accuracy of alignment a steer able shield
    is used during the pipe jacking.
    • In case of small and short distance excavations, ordinary
    survey method is sufficient.
    • But in case of long excavations, remote sensing and
    other techniques can be used.
    GENERAL ARRANGEMENTS
    PIPE JACKING SETUP
    THRUST SETUP
    COMPUTER GUIDANCE SYSTEM

    • The computer system


    enables us to control the
    work remotely.
    ADVANTAGES

    • It avoids the excavation of trenches. So it is also called


    as “Trench less Technique”.
    • There won’t be any leak problems in the future.
    • Timely finish of projects.
    DISADVANTAGES

    • Very costly method.


    • Skilled personnel is required.
