Book description:

Design, Install, Inspect, and Manage Trenchless Technology Piping Projects

Trenchless Technology Piping offers comprehensive coverage of pipe installation, renewal, and replacement using trenchless technology methods. This step-by-step resource explains how to implement efficient design, construction, and inspection processes and shows how to save time and money with a state-of-the-art project management system.

Packed with detailed illustrations, the book surveys the wide variety of trenchless technologies available and discusses the recommended applications for each. This cutting-edge engineering tool also contains vital information on contracting, project delivery, safety, quality control, and quality assurance.

COVERAGE INCLUDES:

  • Trenchless technology methods for new pipe installations and old pipe linings and replacements

  • Pipeline planning and design

  • Pipe behavior under soil and traffic loads

  • Details on different types of pipes, such as concrete, plastic, PVC, HDPE, GRP, and metallic

  • Design and project management considerations for horizontal directional drilling (HDD)

  • Trenchless replacement systems, including pipe bursting and pipe removal methods

  • Construction and inspection requirements for cured-in-place pipe (CIPP)

  • Design and construction considerations for pipe jacking and microtunneling methods

  • Quality assurance, quality control, inspection, and safety
