Trenchless Technology: Planning, Equipment, and Methods

Trenchless Technology: Planning, Equipment, and Methods

<h4>The complete guide to trenchless technology project management, planning, costs, and methods</h4> <p>Written by an expert in the field of pipeline system engineering, this book describes how to plan, schedule, and implement efficient, cost-effective trenchless technology piping projects. Filled with detailed illustrations and real-world examples, <i>Trenchless Technology: Planning, Equipment, and Methods</i> explains how to accurately compare the costs of trenchless projects, considering geotechnical and rock mass impacts, drilling fluids, and locating and tracking equipment.</p> <p>This in-depth reference provides important information on how to estimate the cost of labor and equipment and schedule trenchless piping projects. A wide range of trenchless technology methods suitable for various ground and project conditions are discussed in this practical resource.</p> <p><b>Coverage includes:</b></p> <ul> <li>Cost comparison of trenchless technology methods</li> <li>Planning for trenchless technology projects</li> <li>Project delivery methods</li> <li>Geotechnical considerations</li> <li>Rock mass properties impacts on trenchless project feasibility</li> <li>Tracking, locating, and planning tools for horizontal directional drilling</li> <li>Drilling and lubricating fluids</li> <li>Planning and construction requirements for horizontal direction drilling</li> <li>Horizontal auger boring</li> <li>Pipe ramming</li> <li>Microtunneling methods</li> <li>Pilot tube (or pilot tube microtunneling) method</li> <li>Pipe/box jacking and utility tunneling</li> <li>Cured-in-place-pipe method</li> <li>Sliplining</li> <li>Lateral renewal</li> <li>Localized repair</li> <li>Planning and construction requirements for pipe bursting</li> <li>Panel linings</li> <li>Spray-in-place pipe</li> </ul>
