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.
• 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.
PROCEDURE Cont…
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.
