Pipe Jacking
Open Shield
Pipe jacking enables the construction of sewers and pipelines with minimal disruption, for example, in inner-city traffic routes. Compared to open-cut installation, traffic disruptions can be reduced, which can also lower traffic-related emissions.
Since this method requires only the removal of soil displaced by the new pipeline, this innovative construction method can significantly reduce construction site traffic compared to conventional open trench / open cut construction and also conserve resources, as very few external construction materials need to be delivered.
These methods enable highly precise pipe installation over long distances using state-of-the-art electronic measurement techniques.
The diameter ranges in pipe jacking correspond, from the smallest, to mechanical tunnel boring with tubbing lining.
Existing software solutions make it possible to provide the client with real-time, online access to all relevant data regarding the tunneling process.
