For reasons of safety, excavations and trenches with sloping walls, as well as sloped edges, are only to be accessed after the stability of the earth or rock walls is ensured. This also holds true for excavations and trenched yet to be lined, for as long as the respective shoring has not been inserted [DIN4124:2002].
|
|
In addition, according to [DIN4124:2002], protective strips have to be established around the edge of the excavation or trench, as well as at access points. These protective strips have to be at least 2 ft (0.61 m) in width, preferably horizontal and have to be kept free of excavation material and other obstacles. (Image: Safeguarding of trenches and shafts without lining for depths > 4 ft / 1.25 m and ≤ 6 ft / 1.75 m in accordance with [DIN4124c] – …

The aspects of occupational health and safety that must be taken into account in the context of civil engineering work, especially in the construction of pipelines and sewers using the open cut method, are very diverse. They harbor a considerable potential for danger for those working on the construction site, but also for uninvolved persons. After completing this module, you will have knowledge regarding: - risks and hazardous areas;
- securing construction sites in traffic areas;
- tools and equipment for safe working.

(Image: Dr.-Ing. Robert Stein) To the proper development of new construction areas also belongs the sewage disposal, of course. Also in the future it will remain necessary to build sewers new within the scope of site development. When rehabilitating sewers, which will be one of the main tasks of the local authorities, municipalities or sewer operators in the future, to an increasing degree a new line is chosen in dependence on its load and its condition, …

According to latest estimations [Dohma97], in the Federal Republic of Germany approximately 2000 km of sewers will have to be newly installed each year until 2015 with an investment volume of over 1.2 billion € per year. Over 80% of these sewers are < DN/ID …

In general the following techniques of unmanned, steerable pilot pipe jacking, in the literature also known as guided boring, are applied, whereas the jacking is always carried out in two (Abschnitt 3.1.1.1) (Abschnitt 3.1.2) or a maximum of three (Abschnitt 3.1.1.2) sequential phases: - Pilot boring, by means of soil displacement and reaming boring by means of soil removal
Two-phase jacking (Abschnitt 3.1.1.1) Three-phase jacking (Abschnitt 3.1.1.2)…

The unmanned, steerable microtunnelling techniques employed base generally on the principle of soil removal. Depending on the way of conveying the spoil, it is differentiated between: - Microtunnelling with auger spoil removal (Abschnitt 3.2.1)
- Microtunnelling with hydraulic spoil removal (Abschnitt 3.2.2)
- Microtunnelling with pneumatic spoil removal (Abschnitt 3.2.3)

On the German market more or less standardized jacking pipes, which are made of various materials and which are also employed in the open-cut method of construction and also have different nominal sizes, are offered for the application case at hand and for the methods dealt with here by observing ATV-A 125E [ATVA125:1996], EN 12889 [DINEN12889:2000], EN 14457 [DINEN14457:2004] and the corresponding product standards (Bild 4.1) (Bild 4.1) (Bild 4.1)

The connections of jacking pipes, called pipe joints or joints in the following, must ensure that the following criteria are met: - Tightness against internal and external pressure
- Transferral of longitudinal forces whilst ensuring lateral stability , as well as
- Corrosion protection of the pipe end faces (if applicable)
Examples of suitable pipe joints in the form of flexible, non-restrained socket and spigot joints according to EN 14457 [DINEN14457:…

Jacking pipes are to be delivered packed and are to be stored on the construction site in such way that they are secured against rolling and sliding also in the case of individual withdrawal [ATVA125:1996] [BGI780]. Excessive stacking heights should be avoided so that pipes in the lower part of the stacks are not overloaded. Stacks of pipes shall not be placed close to open trenches or shafts. Pipes with protective coatings shall not be stored where …
