PIPEJACKING IN WATER-SATURATED GROUND . TUNNEL CONSTRUCTION 90. PAPERS PRESENTED AT THE TUNNEL CONSTRUCTION 90 CONFERENCE, ORGANIZED BY THE INSTITUTION OF MINING AND METALLURGY, LONDON, 3-4 APRIL, 1990
This article describes the construction of utility and waste tunnels in water saturated ground using the hydraulic pipe jacking method. Special attention is given to: methods of ensuring the stability of the face when jacking in loose soil; the problems of blowout, and how to be forewarned of such an occurrence and the immediate countermeasures to enforce to prevent one; problems of working using compressed air; factors of importance for following curved alignments; and methods of sealing joints. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 828810.
