May 12, 2020 NA-08 - Replacement: Pulling-In the Pipe String during the Pipe Bursting Process (Demo) The insertion of a new pipe using the bursting process can be performed by pulling in a continuous pipe or by pulling in or pushing in segmental pipes. The former option requires the excavation of access pits and design calculations from an engineer. Therefore, the pulling-in of continuous pipelines will be discussed in greater detail. Pulling-in of a continuous pipe Pulling-in of discrete pipes with a smooth outer surface Pushing-in of discrete pipes … |

May 12, 2020 NA-08 - Replacement: Pulling-In the Pipe String during the Pipe Bursting Process (Demo) The pulling in technique involves the continuous insertion of the new pipe into an existing sewer or pipeline. This technique is identical to that of the pipe rehabilitation method referred to as sliplining. With pipe bursting, however, it is necessary to determine the load transverse to the pipe axis.

May 12, 2020 NA-08 - Replacement: Pulling-In the Pipe String during the Pipe Bursting Process (Demo) Depending on its nominal size and material stiffness, the pipe is either rolled up completely on a coil reel or welded together on site using discrete long pipe sections.

May 12, 2020 NA-08 - Replacement: Pulling-In the Pipe String during the Pipe Bursting Process (Demo) The pipe front tip is equipped with a pulling head, which is attached to the pulling cable and winch. The tensile forces are transferred from the pulling head to the pipe through:

May 12, 2020 NA-08 - Replacement: Pulling-In the Pipe String during the Pipe Bursting Process (Demo) (Image: Temperatur) Monitoring temperature variations when working with plastic pipes, particularly on hot summer days, is essential to prevent substantial variations in the pipe length. To avoid this issue, it is recommended that the pipe insertion takes place in the early mornings, once the temperatures of the new pipes, the air, and the old pipes are almost the same. |

May 12, 2020 NA-08 - Replacement: Pulling-In the Pipe String during the Pipe Bursting Process (Demo) (Image: Plus/Minus) Depending on the old sewer or pipe depth, the construction of relatively long insertion pits is necessary to avoid very small bending radii and prevent damage to the new pipe.

May 12, 2020 NA-08 - Replacement: Pulling-In the Pipe String during the Pipe Bursting Process (Demo) The pit length can be determined using the following formula [DWA-M 143-13]: (Formula: Die Baugrubeläange) lG : Length of the insertion pit in [m] hG : Depth of the pit (Pipe invert depth) [m] R : Minimum bending radius in m (manufacturer specified) (Image: Example design of an insertion pit for the insertion of plastic pipelines in a reference to [DWA-M143-13]) |

|
May 12, 2020 NA-08 - Replacement: Pulling-In the Pipe String during the Pipe Bursting Process (Demo) The length of the insertion pit is determined by several factors, the most relevant being the minimum radius of curvature RK [m] of the new pipe. Plastic pipes are distorted during the bending process in such a way that the outside bend of the pipe (1) is elongated and the inside bend is compressed (2). Therefore, the pipe strain limits must be taken into account during the insertion process, and a distortion or stress analysis is to be completed.… |

May 12, 2020 NA-08 - Replacement: Pulling-In the Pipe String during the Pipe Bursting Process (Demo) The determination of the elongation strain is carried out by means of the maximum tensile stress σz. For this, the determination of the σz is necessary at both the bursting head (1) as well as at the old pipe (2). The larger value is used for the elongation strain determination.

May 12, 2020 NA-08 - Replacement: Pulling-In the Pipe String during the Pipe Bursting Process (Demo) The elongation limits for various plastic materials free from residual stress (isotropic material) are presented in the table below. The limits for safe installation conditions (short-term, γ = 1.4) are also given in the table. (Table: Elongation limits of various plastics [DVSM2205]) For PE pipes, the total outer bend elongation (from pulling and bending) may not exceed ε = 3 %. Due to the risk of buckling during compression, the max εK applies (see … |

May 12, 2020 NA-08 - Replacement: Pulling-In the Pipe String during the Pipe Bursting Process (Demo) The limiting values specified in the following table apply for HDPE pipes (materials free from residual stress - isotropic material). Other materials require further verification. (Table: Limiting values for PE-HD) 1. Diameter / wall thickness ratio (dL,a, dL,i [mm] Outside-/Inside diameter of the pipe / liner). 2.

May 12, 2020 NA-08 - Replacement: Pulling-In the Pipe String during the Pipe Bursting Process (Demo) (Image: Tabellenicon) Taking into account any later occurring axial expansion due to internal pressure in non-pressure pipes or bending strains in curved pipes, the expansion εzshould not exceed of 2.0 % during the pulling in. If an expansion of 2 % is allowed during the pulling in, the expansion in the bends is also to be a further 1 to 2 %. |
