Pipe Jacking curves

SLS - RV Guidance system

Although in Spain have not been made many pipe jacking curves, in the rest of the world it is usual to define pipe jacking projects with curves. These pipe drives can be: Vertical curves to go below rivers, highways, tunnels, and/or Horizontals curves to avoid layings of foundations of buildings, to follow the course of a street, etc.

Characteristics of a good guidance system:

The accomplishment of a good pipe jacking curve requires a guidance system that:

• To offer instantly the information of the position of the microtunnelling machine, so that the operator can lead it as closest of the designed axis.

• To affect as less as possible the activity of the site work to avoid losses of time.

• To obtain good acurracy in the break through and during the boring of the drive design axis.
