Modules

Manholes perform a variety of functions, they are used to connect pipelines, to change direction and/or elevation, to provide access for personnel and/or equipment, and for aeration and ventilation of the drain and sewer system. Like sewers and pipes, defective manholes need to be rehabilitated.

This module explains the structure, functions, and possible structural conditions of manholes.

After completing this module, you will have a sound knowledge of:

  • functions and requirements of manholes;
  • construction methods of manholes;
  • sealing materials made of elastomers;
  • common structural damages and procedures for structural rehabilitation.

This lecture is part of the lecture series "Trenchless 101" and gives an overview of non-steerable trenchless construction methods for installation of cables and pipelines.

The steerable trenchless construction methods will be introduced in the lecture "Steerable new installation", the seventh part of the lecture series "Trenchless 101".

The term "Trenchless Technology for Installation of Cables and Pipelines by Jacking or Drilling" (referred to hereareafter as trenchless installation), is understood to mean "The Underground installation of lines by means of pulling in, pushing in, pressing in or ramming in into a cavity (borehole) made in the soil by means of boring or drilling."

Today, the methods of trenchless installation allow the underground laying of cables and pipes irrespective …

The installation of pipelines and cables by unmanned, non-steerable soil displacment techniques is limited to straight line and gradient for which special directional accuracy is not required.

(Image: Soil displacement technique - pipe ramming with closed pipe front)

Included in the unmanned, non-steerable displacement techniques are:

  • Impact Moling
  • Pipe ramming with closed pipe front
  • Horizontal jacking with expander .

Impact moling:
Self-actuating jacking of a compressed air operated displacement hammer (DH) with the aid of ram energy and immediate or later pulling- or pushing-in the line(s) into the borehole created by the displacment of the subsoil (not found).

There are two variants available as regards the installation of the line(s):

  • Variant 1: Immediate installation
  • Variant 2: Later installation.

Pipe ramming with a pipe closed at its leading end:
Pipe ramming with a pipe closed at its leading end is a technique of forming a bore by driving a steel casing with a closed end using a percussive hammer (see Figure 3 [see figure in the standard]). The ground is displaced by the closed end [DINEN12889:2000].

This method, in EN 12889 [DINEN12889:2000] called "rod pushing with an expander", is a two- or three-phase soil displacement method.

The two-phase process is described in EN 12889 [DINEN12889:2000] as follows, "the ground is displaced by pushing …

In soil removal techniques, steel pipes are jacked either dynamically or statically from a starting shaft to a target shaft whereby the soil or rock material loosened by the jacking is transported away either continuously, in intervals or after the boring.

The waste material is typically called spoil or mud [Arnol93].

In all the following soil removal …

The soil removal techniques include the following processes:

  • Pipe ramming with open pipe front
  • Uncased auger boring
  • Auger boring
  • Hammer drilling
  • Horizontal jacking with reamer .

In pipe ramming with open pipe front, an open steel pipe string is jacked dynamically with the aid of a modified displacement hammer or a horizontal ram from the starting shaft through the subsoil to the target shaft. The soil core entering the pipe is removed continuously, at suitable intervals or after completion of the jacking [ATVA125:1996].

In uncased auger boring, the subsoil is bored through in a rotating manner by means of an auger bore string and the loosened spoil is conveyed from the uncased borehole to the starting shaft.

The uncased auger machine is based on the auger boring without casing [Arnol93] and presents the simplest method variant of all boring techniques based on the spoil removal by rotating and helically …
