Non-man-accessible nominal size For jacking pipes of non-man-accessible nominal sizes, the outer seal alone must be sufficient. |

Man-accessible nominal size For jacking pipes of man-accessible nominal sizes, the outer seals are tested for watertightness after successful jacking. If leaking pipe joints occur, then, in agreement with the owner, a functional inner seal according to DWA-A 125 must be … |

Steel guide rings guide the pipe and transfer crosswise forces. Guide rings should preferably be made of structural steel sheeting of weldable quality, of stainless steel sheeting or reinforced plastics (e.g. GRP). Other materials for use in Germany must possess European technical certification. The thickness of the steel guide ring is decisively determined by the structural and chemical (corrosion) resistance required. The width of the steel guide … |

For jacking pipes of concrete, reinforced concrete and fibre concrete, use is made mostly of single-sided fixed guide rings, also called integrated guide rings. The anchoring in or on the jacking pipe is achieved by steel anchors concreted into the pipe wall and circumferentially welded to the guide ring. In order to prevent circular seepage through valley flanks, a seal must be provided at the connection faces of the steel guide ring.

When arranging a loose guide ring, all pipe ends are identical. In order to avoid the entrance of soil particles into the gap between the guide ring and the jacking pipe, use is made of so-called joint closure based on subsequently installed elastomeric rings or swelling rubber seals.

The activatable seal represents a special development to improve the reliability of the seal. The activatable seal is factory mounted on the spigot end and after the completion of all construction work is activated by means of a complete filling with polyurethane material (PU) under pressure into a permanent and pressurized waterproof seal [FI-Westr]. (Image: New development for the sealing of pipe joints - Gasket can be activated with reference to […

For testable pipe joints the actual test cavity is limited by respectively an outer and an inner seal that is installed before the start of the jacking works. The feeding-in of the test medium (water or air) is achieved through a test pipe concreted into the reinforced concrete pipe at the factory. The pressing out of the inner sealing ring when pressurizing is meant to be prevented by the sheet steel ring anchored to the inside of the spigot. (Image: …

Fibre cement pipes are made of cement or calcium silicate that is derived by a chemical reaction of silicon and limy materials. Reinforcing is provided by fibres [ [DINEN588:2000]]. According to EN 512 [ [DINEN512:1994]] and EN 588-1, a distinction is made between two types of fibre cement pipes: |

The pipe joints depend on the nominal size and the design is identical for gravity and pressure pipes. The joints are generally flexible, non-restrained socket and spigot joints with loose guide rings to DWA-A 125 [ [DWAA125:2014]]. |

Vitrified clay jacking pipes are manufactured from suitable clays with the addition of fireclays and tightly fired to sintering at 1210°C. During the firing, a previously applied glazing mass permanently melts with the fragments for inner and, if required, outer glazing, which, contrary to all other types of coatings that are applied later, cannot be removed by water or pressurised steam. The internal glazing … |

Vitrified clay jacking pipes are resistant to all substances found in sewage or groundwater or in the soil with the exception of hydrofluoric acid. |
Vitrified clay pipes are marked by: -
chemical resistance
-
wear resistance
-
fire resistance
-
temperature resistance
-
jetting resistance
-
resistance against stray current

The design of the pipe joints depends on the nominal size. These are generally flexible, non-restrained socket and spigot joints with loose guide rings or couplings to DWA-A 125 [ [DWAA125:2014]]. |

The steel pipes used in trenchless installation are usually welded constructions and seldom seamless pipes. They are distinguished by high strength, good ductility and good weldability and, in trenchless installation, are used mainly for the installation of pressure piping such as gas, water, pressurized sewers and inverted siphons [Buttc85] [Stein82b] [Rinck79]. They are installed by pulling-in, pushing-in, pressing-in and ramming-in.

Unprotected directly buried pipelines of steel can suffer external corrosion due to aggressive soils or filling materials and internal corrosion due to aggressive water, low flow velocities and bacterial influences. |
"An increased corrosion probability is always caused by strongly polluted soils (fuel ash, slag, coal pieces, coke, waste, rubble, wastewater) as a consequence of concentration elements and with element formation … |
