In place of an onboard Servo Total Station as well as the connection to survey prisms for survey traverse measurement, use can also be made of a gyroscope in connection with a directional laser.

A representative of the measuring system "onboard gyroscope with directional laser" is the NELS curve measurement system (Bild 11.3.2.2.2) [FI-Herreb]. …

This automatic survey traverse measurement is a measurement whose quality is dependent, among others, on the accuracy of the direction transfer in the starting shaft, the accuracy of the measurements in the pipe string and the …

From DN/ID 1000, measurement systems with North seeking gyroscopes offer the possibility of determining the precise direction and position of the microtunnelling or shield machine in the man-accessible …

EN 12889 [DINEN12889:2000] and ATV-A 125E [ATVA125:1996] prescribe that the following measurement data should preferably be automatically acquired and displayed for monitoring the jacking:

  • Direction and altitude position
  • Maximum jacking forces of the jacking station
  • Jacking velocity and distance
  • Volume of the support and lubrication media used and, if possible, also of the removed soil or rock material
  • Roll angle (twisting)
  • Steering corrections (paths …

Shafts are usually always necessary for trenchless installation of pipes and cables with unmanned, non steerable techniques (Abschnitt 5), unmanned, steerable soil displacement techniques (Abschnitt 6), pilot pipe jacking (Abschnitt 7.1), microtunnelling (Abschnitt 8.1) and pipe jacking (Abschnitt 9.1).

The locality and the number of shafts are greatly influenced by the lay out of the planned line to be jacked.

For this reason, it is recommended when planning the line system to take into account right from the start …

(Image: Cross sectional shapes of starting and target shafts)

The shape and dimensions of shafts should be planned and built under the aspect of minimising expected emissions and construction costs as well as work and health protection.

Shafts in which work is carried out must have sufficient working space. The dimensions of the working space depend on the slope angle, lining, equipment, type of pipe and method of working [BGVC22] .

At present, three …

Shaft construction is understood to be the method of sinking and securing of shafts [Olsha91].

Decisive for the selection of a method of shaft construction, i.e. the measures for sinking and securing of a shaft, can be, for example [Stein05a] :

  • Dimensions (length, width and depth of the shaft)
  • Selected jacking method
  • Geological and hydrogeological conditions
  • Local conditions (e.g. available space, surface utilization, traffic loads)
  • Environmental protection (…

The simplest application form is presented by shafts with sloped walls (Bild 12.5.1) (Bild 12.5.1).

(Image: Unlined, sloped starting shafts - In auger boring [Stein89g]) (Image: Unlined, sloped starting shafts - In microtunnelling with hydraulic spoil removal [FI-Herreb])

The inclination of the slope is suited to the subsoil (physical properties of the in-situ soil types, water conditions), the utilization of the adjoining surfaces (traffic paths, …

With standard horizontal linings to DIN 4124 [DIN4124:2002], the shaft walls are progressively lined during the excavation from the top to the bottom with horizontal, closely fitted wooden planks, sheet planks or similar and these are usually secured with vertical wale timbers and supported by bracing (Bild 12.5.2.1) (Bild 12.5.2.1) [Riege00b].

(Image: Standard horizontal lining to DIN 4124 (means of fixing not shown) with reference to [DIN4124c] […

With standard vertical lining to DIN 4124 [DIN4124:2002], wooden planks or sheet planks are progressively installed with the excavation or, in soft cohesive soil, are first driven vertically into the soil so that in all construction state, their points are at least 0.30 m in the soil.

The earth or traffic loads acting on the vertical wooden planks or plank sheets are diverted into horizontal wale timbers or steel profiles that are installed in the …

Non-removable (lost) linings (Bild 12.4) are understood in the case of trenchless installation to be covering, bracing and anchoring structures which are left partially or wholly in the subsoil after completion of the jacking or construction works.

Thus, this method of lining offers the ability to use the structural shell as a network structure for operation and servicing in the form of a single or double shell lining (Abschnitt 12.2).

The disadvantages …

In closed sinking shafts, a massive pressure retaining cover with the side cutters forms a working chamber open to the bottom through which the water for sinking is forced out by means of compressed air.

Air locks and shaft pipes make the working chamber accessible and the excavation base open for loosening and conveying the soil (Abschnitt 9.2.1.2.3) [Linge97].

This form of sinking shaft [Linge97] [Breck84] [Niema70] is relatively seldom used in trenchless …

Sinking shafts of shaft rings or shaft elements are used as starting shafts for jacking pipes in the nominal size range ≤ DN/ID 800 (especially microtunnelling and pilot pipe jacking) depending on the nominal size and length of the jacking pipes and the elements are quasi …

For construction sites with difficult access and for shaft diameters > DN/ID 3200 and/or greater sinking depths (> 10 m), the factory prefabricated sinking shafts of shaft rings or shaft elements can no longer be transported due to their great dimensions (Abschnitt 9.1) and for structural reasons can no longer be inserted.

Besides the open sinking shafts …

The preferred areas of application of open sinking shafts of steel in the form of steel pipes or welded cylinders ranges to shaft diameters DN/ID 2500 (Abschnitt 12.5.2.5) (Abschnitt 12.7.2).

In special cases, steel sinking shafts of greater diameters are used such as in the construction of the …
