The following table shows the DVGW working sheet GW 323 (Trenchless replacement of gas and water supply pipelines with pipe bursting; Requirements, quality assurance and inspections / not available in English at present) specified permissible tensile forces for PE 100 pipes for a load duration of 30 minutes. (Table: Permissible tensile forces for PE 100 pipes under a 30 min load [DVGWGW323]) |
||
|
According to GW 323-4.3.2, the breaking strength of HD-PE is 2.5 times the permissible tensile stress [DVGWGW323]. The cross sectional area of a pipe section used as overload protection may only amount to 40 % of the cross sectional area of the new pipeline being pulled in. (Image: Overload protection in form of a predetermined breaking point by reduction of the wall thickness) (Table: Example calculation of an overload protection for HD-PE 100 used … |

A cross section reduction is obtained by reducing the effective circumference of pipe or the effective cross-sectional area. (Image: Overload protection in form of a predetermined breaking point by reduction of the effective pipe circumference) (Table: Overload protection) |

May 27, 2019 This module is devoted to the pipe bursting as a special method of the replacement of pipelines. In addition, the module looks at the effects that pipe bursting has on the pipeline itself as well as its surrounding environment. Upon the successful completion of this module, you will be able to:

(Image: Documentation) Parallel to the ongoing construction measurement of the gallery, geotechnical measurements should be carried out before and during the construction process in order to confirm the positional stability of the gallery during the heading process. This is needed to detect potential ground deformations and to determine the effects on adjacent buildings. Surface levelings are suited for measurement methods to detect advancing or trailing … |

May 27, 2019 This module focuses on the fundamentals of the trenchless replacement of gas, water, wastewater pipelines using the gallery techniques known from the mining industry. In addition, the individual steps of the gallery heading process with steel and timber support are described - from the preparatory measures to the final work. In addition, the areas of application and limitations of gallery heading, the measures for quality assurance as well as the advantages and disadvantages of this method are presented. After completing this module, you will have a sound knowledge of:

Pipeline cleaning, and removal of obstructions: Pipeline cleaning is not a required process as long as the pulling-in of the winch cable or the pulling rods is possible. If there are any obstructions preventing equipment access, e.g. pipe collapse, positional deviations, roots, etc., the pipeline must be cleared of such obstacles first. Preparation of the manholes: The manhole invert and connection areas must be prepared or modified in such a way that … |

(Image: Documentation) Upon arrival at the construction site, the pipes are to be inspected for defects and damages. In addition, the delivery papers must be checked to ensure that the product corresponds with the original order details. These checks must be documented as part of the quality assurance procedure.
