Trenchless Construction (New Construction)
This manual is the first to provide a comprehensive, easy-to-understand overview of the possibilities of trenchless pipeline construction for installing non-accessible pipelines and sewers by means of pilot pipe jacking and microtunneling. In 15 chapters with 85 pictures and 26 tables, all important aspects to be considered during planning, construction and acceptance are presented in a practical and easy-to-understand manner, in addition to detailed descriptions of the procedures and methods. Furthermore, topics jacking pipes, geotechnical investigations, starting- and target shafts, obstacle problems, steering and monitoring, lateral connection, work safety and health protection, planning, and economic considerations are also covered.

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

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.
