Trenchless Technology for the Installation of Cables and Pipelines

Product Information
Written for municipalities, people, and companies involved with the planning and execution of the trenchless method of line installations

Synopsis

Efficient networks of pipelines and cables that provide a secure supply of water, gas, district heating, electricity and telecommunication as well as ecologically friendly and secure drain and sewer system, i.e. collection and discharge of waste water is a necessary precondition for the functionality of a community and urban development.

This book comprehensively explains the wide range of trenchless techniques. In the presentation of each method, besides the description of methods of operation and sequence as well as equipment, value was placed especially on the areas of application and limitations of use according to the latest knowledge.

“A rare jewel!” Reported by German Prof., Dr. J. Wagner

• Extensive discussion of geotechnical considerations
• Comprehensive review of pipe materials
• Fantastic guide for the design of trenchless technology installations
• Fold and Form Pipelining
• Deformed/Reformed HDPE Pipelining
• Vacuum Excavation

This invaluable reference presents differences in terminology, literature and practice as well as different national and international standards and regulations of the most important terms and designations for all areas of trenchless installation and to formulate proposals and additions for unified or missing definitions. The results are summarized in a glossary in the Appendix.

Back Cover

Today the method of trenchless installation makes it possible to install cables and pipes for a safe supply of water, gas, district heating, electricity and telecommunication and for the ecological disposal of wastewater, irrespective of pipe diameter or the geological or hydro-geological limiting conditions.

 The aim of this book is to provide those persons and companies involved with the planning and execution of the trenchless method of line installations with well founded and up-to-date information.

In addition, the comprehensive and detailed discussions of the construction methods and all associated fields permit an optimal economical and technical choice of the techniques to be made with reference to the numerous system-dependent limiting conditions.
