Course image
Learning unit summary:

Today, the installation of gas, water, and wastewater pipelines is still predominantly carried out using the open trench installation. In view of the numerous disadvantages associated with this method, it is imperative that in the future trenchless pipeline construction be considered much more strongly as an alternative in the planning and construction of sewers and pipelines. For a better understanding of the complexity of the inner-city subsoil, this module provides a brief introduction to infrastructures in the urban subsoil.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • prerequisites for a functioning infrastructure;
  • options for new pipeline construction;
  • procedures for trenchless pipeline construction; and
  • advantages over the open cut method.

Course image
Learning unit summary:

Micro tunnelling refers to unmanned, remote-controlled methods for jacking pipes.

This module covers the various methods, in particular, micro tunnelling with hydraulic, pneumatic, auger and scraper conveyance and soil displacement. The focus is on removal and processing the spoil, drive variants of the cutting head, cutting head design, application in groundwater, measures to reduce jacking forces and measures to remove obstacles.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • cutting head design;
  • processing of the spoil in separation plants;
  • measures to reduce jacking resistance; and
  • dealing with obstacles.
