Case Studies of Microtunneling Used for Gas Pipeline Crossing in China

In recent years, as there is a large number of pipeline projects in China, microtunneling, as a kind of trenchless method, has been widely used. Although microtunneling technology has certain advantages in dealing with complex geological and environmental conditions, there also appeared some failure cases due to certain reasons in the process of construction. This paper discusses some typical cases of microtunneling in recent years in China, analyzes the reasons for the failure and summarizes the solution of the problems encountered in the construction, which can be used as engineering experiences in the future.
