31

Subsurface Utility EngineeringWhat is S.U.E.?

According to the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Federal Highway Administration

• Branch of Engineering practice developed to manage risk associated with existing subsurface utilities.

Utility mapping Relocation & designCommunication of data to all partiesCost estimatesCreation & implementation of policyTechnology specification (Vacuum)

32

Why Use Vacuum?

• Safest method available to expose existing utilities.

• Utilizes 95% air vs. water• High powered vacuum • Small footprint• Eliminates spoils disposal• Environmentally sound• More cost effective than alternatives,

in most cases

Reduces risk of conflict.

33

Cost Benefits S.U.E.

For each $1.00 spent on the use of

subsurface utility engineering services on

street and highway projects, the overall

project experienced a savings of $4.62.

Federal Highway Administration study completed in 2000

Brochure available at www.fhwa.dot.gov/design/sue/suebrochure.cfm

S.U.E. adds value, quality, and accountability.

34

Trenchless TechnologySpecify & utilize the latest methods.

35

Auger Boring• Cost effective method of installing steel

casing pipe where it crosses a road, highway or railroad track.

• Simultaneously jacks a steel casing from a drive pit through the earth while removing the spoil inside the encasement.

• After installation of the casing, which supports the soil around, a pipe is installed and the annular space filled.

Page 10: CLICK, LISTEN & LEARN INSTRUCTIONS TITLE: … · CLICK, LISTEN & LEARN INSTRUCTIONS ... what is in the best interest of the city and what can and can’t be ... Improve quality control

38

BMTA• For applications where line and grade are critical and tunnel diameter is greater

than 48 inches.

• Cutting head is individually powered, separate from the power supply of the boring machine itself.

• Electric over hydraulic controls provide maximum controllability of line and grade. The boring machine provides the BMTA with thrust and auger spoil removal.

BMTA's range in size from 42" to 96" and are suited for soft ground steel cased bores.

41

Horizontal Directional Drilling• Mainly used for installation of pressure pipelines and cable conduit.

• Involves steerable systems for installation of both small and large diameter pipeline. Unique ability to track the location of the drill bit and steer it during the drilling process.

• Two stage process. First-drilling a small pilot hole along desired centerline. Second-enlarge pilot hole to desired diameter to accommodate utility line.

Methods are classified as min-HDD, midi-HDD, and maxi-HDD

Page 11: CLICK, LISTEN & LEARN INSTRUCTIONS TITLE: … · CLICK, LISTEN & LEARN INSTRUCTIONS ... what is in the best interest of the city and what can and can’t be ... Improve quality control

43

Pipe Ramming• Mainly used for installation of utilities for road and railroad

crossings.• Uses air compressor which hammers a steel casing pipe

inside the earth from a drive pit.• Pipe may be hammered closed-end for less than 8 inches.

Or open-end for 8 inches or more.• Spoil is pushed out of steel casing using air pressure.

44

Pipe Bursting• Used to renew sewer, water, gas, and other

pipelines to upsize the capacity of existing pipeline.

• Used in situations where it is not possible to open-cut or where excavation is very expensive.

• New pipe is either pushed or pulled through at the same time.

46

Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM)• Equipped with hydraulic or electrically driven rotary cutter

heads or disc cutter.• Cut soil is forced inside shield through slits in cutter head as

the shield is advanced.• Provide much improved face stability during soil excavation.• Most suitable for non-cohesive soils below water table.

47

Pilot-Tube Boring (PTMT)• PTMT alternative to conventional

microtunneling. Combines accuracy of microtunnelling, steering mechanism of directional drill, and spoil removal system of auger bore.

• Employs auger and guidance system, using camera mounted theodolite and target with electric light emitting diodes (LEDs) to secure high accuracy in line and grade.

48

PTMT In the 1st phase, a steerable pilot tube is jacked into the ground displacing the soil.

The 2nd phase installs a temporary steel casing.

The 3rd phase the product pipe is installed.

Page 12: CLICK, LISTEN & LEARN INSTRUCTIONS TITLE: … · CLICK, LISTEN & LEARN INSTRUCTIONS ... what is in the best interest of the city and what can and can’t be ... Improve quality control

49

Hand Tunneling•Simplest form of soil excavation using picks, shovels, or pneumatic hand-held tools.

50

Open Cut – Cost & Benefits•Generally speaking, is the lowest cost method.

•Well suited for open areas with undeveloped land and few buried obstacles.

•Most cost effective solution in circumstances where traffic disturbance/detour is unavoidable regardless of the method used.

51

Trenchless – Cost & Benefits• Minimizes disturbance to traffic, living, and

working areas. • Reduces chances of interfering with or damaging

existing utilities or abandoned pipes. • Provides the opportunity to upsize a pipe-within

technology limits.• Requires less-exposed area which is safer for

workers and the community. • Most cost-effective when considering the risk of

alternative methods.

52

Closing Remarks

• Construction manager @ risk, design-build• Choose reliable contractor/subcontractor that offers S.U.E. Engineering

services• Include in planning stage• Understands underground challenges• Can request blue stake• Will reduce/eliminate costly conflicts

Use a single source for design, planning & delivery.

Trenchless TechnologyA Case Study

60

Overland Park• 2nd largest city in Kansas – suburb of KC• Population of 170,000• Encompasses about 65 sq. miles• 1,680 lane miles• $20 + million annual Public Works budget• City owns storm sewer system, street

light/signal systems and fiber optic network

Overland ParkAlso has a few of these left….

63

What I intend to cover:• Types of trenchless technology used in

Overland Park

• Experiences (good and bad) with each type

• Lessons learned

64

Why use Trenchless Technology?

67

Why use Trenchless Technology?And avoid this

Backfill compaction and testing canbe time consuming and costly

68

Overland Park has experienced 4 primary methods of trenchless technology;

•Auger Boring – used for casing installations•Pipe Bursting – used for pipe replacement•Slip Lining – used for pipe replacement•Horizontal Directional Drilling and Pneumatic Piercing Tools – used for pipe and cable installations

69

Auger BoringUsed primarily for road

crossings

70

Auger Boring

Benefits• Prevents traffic flow problems• Prevents damage to street – even the best

repair is still a “patch”

Disadvantages• Large area needed for entry and exit pits• “Working blind”

71

Pipe Bursting• Pipe Bursting has been used primarily to

replace water lines• Methods vary but operation used in OP

employed a winch assisted/pneumatic powered bursting head pulling in HDPE butt-fused pipe

• Open street cuts still necessary to install Tee’s and valves

72

Pipe Bursting

Page 16: CLICK, LISTEN & LEARN INSTRUCTIONS TITLE: … · CLICK, LISTEN & LEARN INSTRUCTIONS ... what is in the best interest of the city and what can and can’t be ... Improve quality control

73

...and the street repair

74

Things DO go wrong…

Failed electro-fusion coupling

75

Pipe BurstingBenefits• Sporadic excavations in street rather than

continuous open trench• Shorter duration traffic flow problems

Disadvantages• Possibility of crushing adjacent lines• “Working blind”

76

Slip Lining• New method of water line replacement• Made possible due to opportunity to

downsize pipe• 1,350’ 8” diameter HDPE pipe pulled in place

in just over 4 hours• As with pipe bursting, open street cuts are

still necessary

77

Slip Lining – the initial stages

79

The Finished Product

80

Slip Lining

Benefits• Sporadic excavations – can be plated and

street reopened daily• Pipe installation is relatively fast

Disadvantages• Can only be used when installing smaller

diameter pipe• “Working blind”

81

HDD and Missiles

• Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) andPneumatic Piercing Tools (Missiles) are by far the most predominant methods of trenchless technology used in Overland Park

• Both processes lend themselves very well to installation of coax, copper and fiber optic cables.

82

The HDD Operation• Bore out to termination point

– Typical bore length is 500 ft.

• Pre-ream if needed to increase bore diameter– Mixing (removes soil) vs. compaction (displaces

soil) reamer– Problems can arise if this step is neglected

• Pull back product

The Missile Operation• Rectangular pits dug approximately 20’ apart • Pneumatically powered non-steerable missile

is lowered into pit and through percussive effect moves through the soil to exit into the next pit

• Conduit/cable is then manually pulled through newly created tunnel

HDD and MissilesBenefits• Minimal surface restoration• Relatively fast operations• Well suited for confined working areas

Disadvantages• Missile method is very labor intensive• “Working blind”

95

Telecom work in Overland ParkWe have had two major telecom related

construction projects –

1. A 12 mile long 16 HDPE conduit (18”diameter) backbone ring along major corridors in 2000

2. A 5 year duration “Last Mile” overbuild project begun in 2002 in which each residence/business can be served…also known as FTTP or FTTH.

96

These two projects more than anything identified the need for changes in our Standard Operating Procedure thus

bringing us to

“Lessons Learned”

Page 20: CLICK, LISTEN & LEARN INSTRUCTIONS TITLE: … · CLICK, LISTEN & LEARN INSTRUCTIONS ... what is in the best interest of the city and what can and can’t be ... Improve quality control

97

Lessons Learned1. The disadvantage common to all 4

trenchless methods is “working blind” – our most painful lesson learned is it isABSOLUTELY MANDATORY to positively visually locate ALL known existing utilities.DO NOT rely on marking paint or locate flags. When utilities are damaged, badthings happen…

98

Damages

103

Locating utilitiesWhile underground utilities can be located using this method…

104

Locating utilitiesNon-destructive Vacuum Excavation is the preferred method

Trailer mounted unit Large truck mounted unit

105

Locating utilitiesThis 30” deep hole to locate a cable TV line was completed in 26 seconds using hydro vacuum excavation

106

Lessons Learned2. With many utility lines

under pavement that need to be visually located prior to any trenchless activity andto avoid this…

107

Lessons Learned• We now mandate all explorations/

investigations for/of utilities under pavement use the coring/keyhole and reinstatement method.

• This method consists of core drilling through pavement, using vacuum excavation for sub grade removal until utility is found, backfilling with CLSM and grouting core back in place.

115

Coring-Keyhole vs. Traditional Jackhammer/Backhoe method

Benefits• Substantially shorter duration traffic interruptions

(i.e. lane closures)• Far less damage to street• Much faster operation• Much cleaner operation• Fewer and smaller pieces of equipment needed• Reduced repair costs for contractor

Disadvantages• ?

116

Lessons Learned• Contractor must have emergency response plan –

911 may not be the first call• Establish minimum bore depths especially under

pavement (i.e. HDD Guidelines Handbook)• Determine timeline for potential repairs (street,

sidewalk, etc.) prior to beginning work• Use all methods available to determine presence of

existing utilities (mapping, GPR)
