PIPE-JACKING WITH THE USE OF MEMBRANE WRAPPING --NO-DIG 87. 2ND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION ON TRENCHLESS CONSTRUCTION FOR UTILITIES, APRIL 14-16, 1987 (INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TRENCHLESS TECHNOLOGY)

This article describes a new Japanese method to prevent the infiltration or inflow of water during tunnel driving. In this method, the tunnel structure was completely covered with a vinyl sheet having high waterproofing properties, at a site where pipe-jacking work was executed in very gravelly ground. Prevention of infiltration/inflow was achieved. Not only was infiltration/inflow prevented, but a thrust force of only one-third the assessed amount was required, leading to the conclusion that under this method the jacking distance can be extended beyond that normally possible, and work can thus be executed at a lower cost by reducing the number of shafts required. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 815134.
