Design Specifications Axial Load

■■ Hythrust micro tunnelling and jacking pipes are
manufactured with spun reinforced concrete and
incorporate industrial grade fibreglass or metal jointing
bands with natural rubber sealing rings.
■■ The 375, 450 and 600 diameter jacking pipes incorporate
a 25 mm sacrificial layer for additional durability.
■■ A sacrificial layer is available in the 900, 1200 and 1300
jacking pipes upon request.
Microsilica, Hydura, or Bicrete concrete is available for

■■ Hythrust Jacking Pipes are designed to resist an
installation axial load. This axial load is related to the
frictional resistance forces that occur during thrusting
operations.
■■ Determining factors vary according to thrust length, pipe
diameter and in-situ material.
■■ Produced to nominal axial loads, but can be modified to
allow for further strength increases.
