While this additional material is optional and not included in the exam, it serves as a resource for deeper exploration.

The module culminates in a final examination that encompasses all the content covered throughout the course.

To complete the course successfully and efficiently within four weeks, we suggest the following schedule, which distributes the lessons evenly across the period:

  1. Week 1: Introduction, Fundamentals and Geotechnical Investigations, Pipe Jacking (Part 1)
  2. Week 2: Pipe Jacking (Part 2), Microtunnelling 
  3. Week 3: Jacking Pipes, Jacking Steering
  4. Week 4: Starting and Target Shafts, Final Exam

LEARNING OUTCOMES


Upon completing the e-learning module "Utility Tunnelling," you will have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of various trenchless construction methods, including pipe jacking and microtunnelling. You will learn how to apply these methods within the context of their technical components and process variations. Additionally, you will explore the range of pipe materials available for use, as well as the standard specifications for pipes and pipe joints—critical knowledge for effective implementation.

You will also gain insight into the geological, hydrogeological, and geotechnical principles essential for applying trenchless construction methods and conducting ground assessments tailored to specific project needs. Finally, the module will introduce you to the planning and construction of access shafts, emphasizing how to adapt these methods to suit varying site conditions.

Course image
Learning unit summary:

Investigation is the first of the four fundamental activities included in integral sewer management. To a reasonable extent, it is to cover all performance aspects of the drain and sewer system in order to create the basis for the next step (the evaluation of the capacity of the drain and sewer system). The obtained results serve to show compliance to due diligence, and also as the basis for the determination of all activities to be carried out with respect to rehabilitation and maintenance. That is why volume 4 of "Rehabilitation and Maintenance of Drains and Sewers" deals with the investigation and inspection.

Course image
Learning unit summary:

With trenchless pipeline construction methods, it is now possible to install cables and pipelines underground, irrespective of the outer diameter or nominal size and the geological and hydrogeological boundary conditions. The wide-ranging technical information in this standard reference book not only helps the user in the planning and execution of pipeline construction measures, but also provides a basis for an economically and technically optimal selection of the process technology. In detail, the technical book deals with the following topics: geotechnical fundamentals and investigations, unmanned, steerable and non-steerable methods (soil displacement methods, pilot pipe jacking, microtunneling, manned methods (pipe jacking), drilling fluids and drilling fluid technology, jacking control, surveying and monitoring, start and target shafts, calculation of jacking pipes, tendering and contract award information, and economic feasibility considerations

Trenchless Installation of Pipelines
Course image" Trenchless Technology for Installation of Cables and Pipelines - 2nd Volume: Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)
Course image
Learning unit summary:

Developed from directional and deep drilling technology, HDD as a steerable drilling method is ideal for the trenchless installation of pipelines. Utilities and communications providers make use of the numerous advantages of this technology, as it provides a customized variant for almost every problem within the scope of its possibilities. However, it is precisely these variants that make it necessary to systematically cover the full range of HDD technology. The book provides valuable guidance and decision support on the topics of equipment, steering and locating techniques, project preparation and planning, structural calculations for the state of construction and operation including: pullback force, buoyancy and ballasting, safety against buckling, pipe stresses, abutment and bedding. Special process developments such as Meeting-in-the-Middle technique, PTT "Push and Pull Technology", COMBI DRILLING method and hybrid systems are described in detail as well as drilling fluids, dry horizontal directional drilling and pipe materials and joints.
