(Image: Documentation) Parallel to the ongoing construction measurement of the gallery, geotechnical measurements should be carried out before and during the construction process in order to confirm the positional stability of the gallery during the heading process. This is needed to detect potential ground deformations and to determine the effects on adjacent buildings. Surface levelings are suited for measurement methods to detect advancing or trailing … |

May 27, 2019 This module focuses on the fundamentals of the trenchless replacement of gas, water, wastewater pipelines using the gallery techniques known from the mining industry. In addition, the individual steps of the gallery heading process with steel and timber support are described - from the preparatory measures to the final work. In addition, the areas of application and limitations of gallery heading, the measures for quality assurance as well as the advantages and disadvantages of this method are presented. After completing this module, you will have a sound knowledge of:

Pipeline cleaning, and removal of obstructions: Pipeline cleaning is not a required process as long as the pulling-in of the winch cable or the pulling rods is possible. If there are any obstructions preventing equipment access, e.g. pipe collapse, positional deviations, roots, etc., the pipeline must be cleared of such obstacles first. Preparation of the manholes: The manhole invert and connection areas must be prepared or modified in such a way that … |

(Image: Documentation) Upon arrival at the construction site, the pipes are to be inspected for defects and damages. In addition, the delivery papers must be checked to ensure that the product corresponds with the original order details. These checks must be documented as part of the quality assurance procedure.

(Image: Bursting head with a directional guide) Pipe bursting procedure: Installation of the new pipeline while considering permissible tensile forces and bending radii. There must be an overlap between the external diameter of the expander head and that of the new pipeline in order to reduce the frictional forces during the pulling through procedure. In other words, the expander head will have a larger diameter than the new pipe that will be pulled … |

(Image: Realisation of pipe bursting from the insertion pit to the reception manhole) Insertion pit to manhole: Installation of the pulling equipment in the manhole or above it. Either the segmental or the continuous pipeline, together with the bursting unit, are introduced through the insertion pit. The size of the bursting unit is accordingly dimensioned as to allow for its removal from the target manhole. (Image: Realisation of pipe bursting from … |

(Image: Connection of the new pipeline to the manhole) Connection of the new pipeline to the manhole: The connection between the new pipeline and the manhole structure must be properly sealed so that water cannot infiltrate the surrounding soil. A leak-tight joint must be placed between the manhole wall and the new pipe. The manhole channel and benching must be fitted to the new pipeline.
