Microtunneling has successfully completed both horizontal and vertical curves. This paper will focus on the machine and pipe design requirements for the successful completion of a curved pipe jack utilizing a microtunneling machine specifically designed for the completion of the job. The specific project, completed in Japan, included two right handed curves, two left handed curves and a one vertical curve all in a single drive. The project utilized reinforced concrete jacking pipe as manufactured in Japan to Japanese standards. This paper will also briefly discuss the historical development of curved microtunneling, a brief description of this project including soils information, and project design requirements. In order for this drive to meet all of the imposed restrictions, four horizontal curves and one vertical curve were planned and executed in this man entry sized tunnel. The machine was manufactured by Iseki to meet the project requirements.
