Trenchless
Pipe Jacking
The underground installation of pipelines is accounting for an ever-increasing share of modern sewer, pipeline, and utility line construction. Partly dilapidated sewer and utility systems in cities, combined with the increasing density of our urban areas, are creating a growing need for intelligent and efficient construction methods that minimize surface disruption. Thanks to its technical expertise, pipe jacking at Max Bögl - a specialist in the field of trenchless construction - plays a significant role in this development.
mbtrenchless offers technical and cost-effective solutions in the areas of pipe jacking using full-cut and partial-cut techniques, microtunneling, compressed-air excavation, pilot pipe jacking, horizontal directional drilling (HDD), press drilling, and ground freezing technology. Trenchless construction methods reduce surface disruption as well as the associated dust and traffic-related emissions compared to open trench / open cut installation.
Pipe jacking, in particular, has increasingly emerged as an economically attractive alternative to conventional open-cut trenching. Using state-of-the-art control systems, pipe sections ranging in size from DN 500 to DN 4000 can be laid with precision. Precise surveying techniques enable us to accurately follow both perfectly straight sections and specified spatial curve radii.
Range of Pipe Jacking Services:
- Full-cut and partial-cut techniques
- Microtunneling
- Compressed-air work
Advantages of Pipe Jacking:
- Minimal surface disruption: Pipe jacking allows for the construction of sewers and pipelines with minimal disruption, such as in inner-city traffic routes. Compared to open-cut installation, traffic disruptions can be reduced, which can also lower traffic-related emissions.
- Precise Installation: These methods enable highly accurate positioning of pipelines over long distances using state-of-the-art electronic systems.
- From Small to Large: The diameter ranges in pipe jacking extend from the lower end of the range used in mechanical tunnel boring with tubbing lining.
