Ingredients for Successfully Installing Pipe Using Trenchless Methods
This paper outlines the key ingredients required during the planning stages through design and construction of trenchless installations. The importance of adequately defining existing site constraints and soil and groundwater conditions together with recognizing the potential impact to existing constructed works is paramount for successful completion of a project. The authors have been involved in many trenchless pipeline installation projects using numerous trenchless methods. Through this experience the authors have observed that the ingredients for a successful project are generally the same, regardless of the details of the project or the specific trenchless installation method used. This paper presents a general discussion of those key ingredients and examples of their application in two brief case histories. These examples include auger boring beneath an active railroad and pipe jacking beneath an active subway station and major thoroughfare in the heart of a large metropolitan area. Pipe casing with diameters ranging from 760mm to 1370mm (30 to 54-inches) was installed at invert depths of up to 10.7m (35 ft) below existing grades and had reaches that ranged in length from to 43m to 134m (140 to 440 ft.)
