Trenchlesstechnology Extra Reference

This document discusses various trenchless technology methods for installing, rehabilitating, and repairing underground pipes and conduits. It describes microtunneling, horizontal directional drilling, static pipe bursting, pipe eating, cured-in-place lining, slip lining, spray lining, coatings, cement mortar, reinforced gunite, resins, and grouting techniques. The methods discussed allow installation or rehabilitation of pipes without excavating long trenches, minimizing disruption at the surface.

TRENCHLESS TECHNOLOGY

TRENCHLESS TECHNOLOGY METHODS

NEW INSTALLATION REHABILITATION AND RENOVATION

NEW INSTALLATION

MICROTUNNELING

HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING


SHORT DRIVE SYSTEM GUIDED DRILLING

MICRO TUNNELING

Only excavation required is for drive and reception shafts. Can be used in almost all types of ground conditions. First step, soil is converted in to slurry using water or betonies. Temporary steel tubes are jacked in and removed at next manhole position. Only indication on the surface is the presence of a control container with a hoist for lowering pipes in to the drive shafts. Noise levels and traffic disruption minimized.

ROD PUSHING

A bore of diameter 50 mm is formed by displacement. Rod is advanced by a straight hydraulic push and pilot hole may be back reamed to required size. Used for installation of pipes and conduits up to 15mm dia over lengths of 30-40 mm

GUIDED DRILLING

It employs an excavation or soil displacement with compact light weight rig for rapid mobilization.

STATIC PIPE BURSTING


Preferable in clayey soils . Existing pipelines can be replaced without opening up ground. Mole is used as bursting head. Small power source is used to drive mole .

PIPE EATING

1.
2.

Based on micro tunneling. Defective pipe excavated together with surrounding ground. Consists of micro tunneling shield. Shield has larger diameter than existing pipe. Pipe fragment can be removed by 2 methods Vacuum excavation Slurry pumping

Contd..

Pipe eating shield is pushed forward using hydraulic jacks. Replacement pipes are connected to the back of tunneling shield. This technique can be used to replace clayware,concrete,asbestos pipe etc.

RELINING THE EXISTING PIPES


CURED-IN-PLACE LINING CLOSE-FIT LINING SLIP- LINING SPRAY LINING

CURED-IN-PLACE LINING

Fabric impregnated with polyester or epoxy resin is inserted in to defective pipe & inflated against pipe wall. Cured by hot water, steam or UV light. The lining adjusts to variations in pipe size. Used for the rehabilitation of gravity sewers etc. Usually results in no loss of capacity.

CLOSE-FIT LININGS

It is deformed through a swage a metal dye) or manufactured in folded state. Spirally wound liners are a form of close-fit. Useful for emergency repairs and for strengthening weak pipes.

SLIP-LINING

Involves putting a pipe within a pipe and grouting the resulting annulus between the pipes. Causes reduction in capacity. Modifications are introduced to reduce thickness of liner and size of annulus.

SPRAY LINING

Cement or resin is used. Cost effective. Ease of transport Mobilization of equipment.

RELINING PIPES

LOCALIZED REPAIR

COATINGS CEMENT MORTAR REINFORCED GUNITE RESIN GROUT

COATINGS

Used to repair cracks To protect from corrosion ,mechanical abrasion. Manual coating possible for pipes with a minimum of 1.21 m diameter. No extra work or equipment needed.

CEMENT MORTAR

Applied to concrete, steel or iron pipes. Service life extended up to 50 yrs. Made of 1 part sulphate resistant cement to 2 parts sand. Cannot be applied in pipe networks with many bends, or in very cold regions.

REINFORCED GUNITE

Also referred as SHOTCRETE Mixture of cement, sand and water. Steel reinforcing mesh attached inside pipe. Improves structural integrity of system. Can be used on varying cross-sectional profiles. It reduces internal diameter of original pipe. Reduces coefficient of friction. Application restricted to pipes of dia greater than 4ft.

RESINS

Coating are made of polyurethane, phenol epoxy or poly urea. Can solve problems of corrosion and erosion. Can be applied to steel or concrete pipes. Excellent adhesion and impermeability.

GROUT

Grout is a variety of materials used to fill voids, stabilize soil, hold bricks in place, coat cement & prevent infiltration. Used here to seal the joints between segmented concrete pipes. Used to seal off ground water infiltration in non pressure pipelines. Adapts well to irregular surface.

LIMITATION & ADVANTAGES OF GROUT


Limitations Not a structural repair Requires highly skilled operators
Stabilizes soil Advantages Stops groundwater from leaking in

Difficult to seal actively infiltrating Fills void around pipe joints Packer will not seal properly in badly corroded pipe Not for small- or large-diameter pipe Can make small cracks bigger Pipe must be thoroughly cleaned and in good condition (no protruding taps or broken sections)
Is a long-term, inexpensive trench less technology Well suited to 10- to 15-in. pipe
