PIPE JACKING METHOD (MICROTUNNELING SYSTEM)

General

The slurry microtunneling system is complete with all equipment necessary to drive
non man- entry tunnels by the pipe jacking method.
The system is designed for tunnelling, without the use of ground improvement
processes such as compressed air, ground treatment of freezing, in water bearing
grounds with a head of up to 15 metres of ground water.
Owing to the small size of the launch and reception shafts required by the system
and the compact containerised design of the equipment, it is ideal for use in urban
areas.

Thrust Pit or Launching Shaft

A working shaft is constructed at the beginning of the section of pipeline to be

jacked and specialist equipments are installed. Jacking operations are carried
out from this point.

The dimensions and construction of the thrust pit vary according to specific
requirements of any particular situation with economic being a key factor. Drives by
mechanised excavation may require larger pits than hand excavated drives. Pipe
jacking can be performed from small shafts to meet special site conditions.

The initial alignment of the pipe to be jacked is ensured by accurately positioning

guide rails on which the pipes are to be laid.

The substantial forces required for jacking the pipes that provided by high-pressure
hydraulic power packs. The ram diameter and stroke of the jack may vary
according to an individual contractor's technique. Short stroke jacks with multiple
spacer blocks, medium stroke jacks with shorter length pipes or long stroke jacks
which can push a full length pipe at one setting may be used.

To ensure that the jacking forces are distributed around the circumference of a
pipe being jacked, a thrust ring is provided of a design dependent on the number
of jacks being used. The jacks are interconnected hydraulically to ensure that the
thrust from each is the same. The numbers of jacks used may vary according to
the pipe size, the length to be jacked and the anticipated frictional resistance.

Setting Out Inside Jacking Pit

The alignment and level are transfer into the pit using theodolite.

Place steel plate and concrete the thrust wall and the base to the required line and

level. Install the guide rails and check alignment using theodolite.

Place the hydraulic jacks as necessary at the positions against the steel
plate/concrete thrust wall.

Check the road level by using theodolite.

Tunnelling Operation

The cutting head is thrust against the tunnel face by hydraulic cylinders
located in the launching shaft.

To commence a drive, particularly in conditions under the ground water level, the
head is capable of cutting its way through the concrete wall of the launch shaft through
a seal assembly bolted to the shaft wall to exclude groundwater

Cutting Head

The cutting wheel is equipped with carbide tipped tools to cut the entire face of
the tunnel. Excavated material passes through openings in the cutting wheel into
the crushing/mixing chamber.

Here, the conical crusher reduces the material to a size suitable for conveying to the
surface settling tank by pump water being injected through nozzles in the
crushing/mixing chamber to assist mixing without blockage.

The cutting wheel is driven by hydraulic motors located within the cutting head
assembly - thus excavating and crushing power is not dependent upon distance
from the launch shaft as with auger driven equipment.

The cutting head assembly consists of two sections, which are articulated to allow
movement of up to approx. 3.5 degree in any direction to enable precise steering
of the thrust.

Cutter disc can be equipped with hard rock cutting wheels. Specially developed
disc cutters for microtunnelling are now available for proven performance with
rock strengths.

Lengths Of Thrust

Limitations are reached by jacking pipe strength and laser resolution, thus reducing
accuracy over longer distances.

The standard machine package includes 100m of hydraulic hoses, electric cables
and slurry pipes.

Control/Power Pack Module

The control/power pack module is housed within an ISO standard freight container
providing rapid relocation from shaft to shaft.

A target plate is hermetically sealed within the cutting head for the impinging
laser beam to define the exact position of the machine. An encoder is located in
the launch shaft to provide continuous measurement of the length of thrust.

Via the main processor, the actual position of the cutting head is calculated and
displayed graphically on a monitor built into the control panel. A complete record
of the thrust is stored by the processor and a print - out is available at any time
during the thrust via the printer provided in the control/power pack module.

Material Conveyance

A centrifugal pump located next to the settling tank on the surface pressurises the
feed water to the crushing/mixing chamber nozzles. The reduced excavated
material is mixed with the feed water to form slurry which is pumped out by the
slurry pump located in the launch shaft.

The pumps have infinitely variable speed controls to adapt to varying ground
conditions and balance flow rates.

By-pass valve systems within the cutting head enable washing out of the lines and
partial recirculation. These valves also isolate the cutting head whilst the pipeline is
broken to insert a new concrete (or other pipe material) pipe. Thus, face support
can be maintained whilst the slurry material transport system is disconnected when
putting in a new jacking pipe.

The slurry is pimped into a settling tank on the surface from which the feed water
is drawn. The settled excavated material is removed at intervals from the settling
tank as required.

7.8 CONNECTION TO DBKL MAIN DRAINAGE

A HAND-DUG CAISSON FOR SUM 14

The caissons shall be carried out in a proper sequence of steps so as to ensure

quality and safety of workers and adjacent structures.

1. Leveling working platform and Setting out caisson pile position. Excavate a pilot
bole with depth not exceeding 1000 mm and diameter around 200mm -
300mrn larger than the caisson diameter.

2. Inside the pilot hole a circular steel mould, which has an inner diameter equals
to caisson diameter, is set up in the exact position of the caisson to be
constructed.

3. Pour concrete of grade 25 around the gap between the mould and the vertical soil
surface,

4. After the concrete has gained the required strength the circular steel mould
is dismantled. A concrete caisson lining is thus formed to prevent collapse of
soil,

5. Before further excavation is continued, a supporting frame about 3.0m high is

erected in the ground surface above and across the caisson opening. This
temporary frame supports an l chain block, which is used to transport
excavated material form the caisson bottom to the ground surface.

6. A safety barrier is then set up on top of the caisson opening.

7. Continue to excavate not more than the ring mould depth of soil each time
and subsequent concrete lining is again formed with the steel mould by
lowering down from the upper ring.

8. If underground water is encountered at time during the excavation,

dewatering is done by means of a water pump installed at the bottom of the
caisson.

9. Continue excavation and concreting of lining until after reaching the designed
bottom level of caisson or socketing into the bedrock formation as required by
Engineer.
