In the following, the creation of the lower bedding layer is shown using the example of a concrete pipe with base. Pipes with base are usually placed on a prepared, horizontally levelled and compacted bedding of suitable soil material, directly on the prepared trench base. Even in the case of pipes with base, it is necessary to re-compact the edge areas at the base with a hand tamper to ensure full-surface support.

Hydraulically bound backfill materials are particularly suitable for the combined installation of pipes and sewers. With conventional installation of pipelines, sufficient minimum distances are required for the necessary compaction of the soil. These are not required when installing the pipes with hydraulically bound backfill materials.

The following pictures show a corresponding application. Reinforced concrete elements are used as installation aids. …

Modern alignment of jacking spans poses constantly increasing requirements for jacking pipes. Looking back to recent years, it is apparent that jacking lengths are getting longer and longer while narrow curves are becoming more and more frequent. Even complicated curve combinations, partly with multiple S- or three-dimensional curves, are no longer a rare sight in calls for tenders.

Conventional pipe joints with pressure transfer rings made of wood …

The concept is described below for the CoJackHydra system.

In CoJackHydra, the CoJack calculation and control system is combined with a new pressure transfer system (hydraulic joint) consisting of a water-filled high-pressure hose. The "Hydraulic Joint" replaces the pressure transfer ring between the jacking pipes, which usually consists of a chipboard or oriented strand board (OSB).

Among other things, the system allows a better angular deflection …

The amount of water in the hose is dimensioned depending on the project in such a way that the maximum possible jacking force is achieved while ensuring the necessary deviation ability. CoJackHydra allows for significantly higher jacking forces than conventional pressure transfer rings, especially in tight curves or in curve combinations (S-curves) in the jacking alignment.

Visual description of the steering procedure:

(Image: Hydraulic Joint: Initial …

1. Higher permissible jacking forces particularly in curves

  • Increase of jacking velocity (rarer use of interjack pipes (Intermediate Jacking Stations))
  • Reduction of the number of interjack pipes (Intermediate Jacking Stations)
  • Higher reserves of force

2. Better angular deflection of the pipe joints

  • More flexible line path in planning (strong curvatures, S-curves)
  • Higher pipe lengths
  • Higher jacking lengths
  • Omission of building pits
  • Smaller effects …

The hydraulic joint is supplied as single or multiple circumferential closed rings. The position is fixed without drilling or gluing to the pipe end. There must be no recesses or bevels on the inside of the jacking pipe or on the concrete edges of the pipe end. Any recesses on the pipe end faces must not extend to the inner or outer surface of the pipe. This also applies to the concrete on the steel collar to avoid leakages.
