The special loads during lifting and transport of the pipes must be taken into account. In particular, transport via a centric stop (cast-in anchor or centrally positioned pipe gripper) activates bending loads for which the pipes must be dimensioned. For pipes with smaller pipe diameters, it is advisable, if possible, to support the pipe via the outer pipe wall or from the inner pipe wall. (Image: Transport of a pipe with a centrally positioned pipe … |

To facilitate the jointing of the pipes, the socket area should be greased in advance. The lubricant used must be free of plasticizers or other ingredients that could damage the compression seal. Important: Attention: Only the lubricant permitted by the manufacturer may be used.

Stand-alone uplift protection is another option for ensuring uplift safety. In this case, it is not permissible to support the uplift protection against the shoring. Depending on the dimensioning of the uplift safety device, the filling height of the flowable fill can be increased compared with the use of "concrete pipe saddles”.

Another possibility to secure pipes against uplift is the use of ground anchors or tree anchoring systems. The following series of pictures shows the application of ground anchors using the example of the tree anchoring system "Platipus". The required anchoring depth must be determined according to the static requirements (uplift forces) and the soil parameters. Once the ground anchors have been set, they must be checked for sufficient anchoring … |

The geology or the existing ground conditions determines the type of excavation tools to be used and their positioning on the cutter head, known as the cutting wheel in soft ground. Pipe jacking in hard rock, such as granite or gneiss, places high demands on the wear resistance of the excavation tools. Here, high material quality of the excavation tools is required, particularly with regard to the hardness and ductility of the steel. In soft soils, … |
