OPEN CUT TRENCHES• CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION
• TT techniques include methods of pipeline & utility installations with minimum amount of surface excavation
• TT techniques are mainly divided into two main areas: TRENCHLESS CONSTRUCTION METHODS(TCM) and TRENCHLESS RENEWAL METHODS(TRM)
• TCM includes all methods for new utility & pipeline installations
Continuation. . . .
• TRM includes all methods of renewing, rehabilitating, or renovating an existing old or host pipeline or utility system
• Trenchless construction and renewal project is site specific & successful completion of it is dependent on factors such as accuracy, maximum installation length, diameter range, & type of application
CONSTRENCHLESS TRUCTION METHODS
• Divided into two major categories: - HORIZONTAL EARTH BORING - PIPE JACKING / UTILITY TUNNELING
HORIZONTAL EARTH BORING
• It includes - Auger Boring - Moling - Pipe Ramming - Water Jetting - Microtunneling
AUGER BORING
• Used for installation of steel pipes and casings, especially under railways & road embankments
• Very economical• It reduces damage to pavements and
disruption to traffic, hence reduces social costs associated with pipeline installations

MOLING
• Used for laying water pipes • During moling process, a pneumatically
driven machine known as a mole forces its way through the soil along the desired path of the pipe
• Mole is a steel cylinder about 60cm long and 6cm in diameter, works as a pneumatic cylinder with pulsed compressed air causing the head of the mole to repeatedly hammer against the soil in front of the mole

PIPE RAMMING
• Used for installation of steel pipes and casings over distances usually upto 30m long and upto 1.5m in dia
• It is also used for shallow installations under railway lines and roads
• It can be applied for horizontal as well as vertical installations
• Method is pneumatic
WATER JETTING
• Method is simple • It uses high speed jet of water to liquefy
and remove soil• Special nozzle is attached to the end of a
solid rod & extended into the bore hole• Disadvantages:- - poor control of overcut - disposal of large quantities of water and muck - possibility of ground settlement
MICROTUNNELING
• Used to construct small tunnels for laying gravity pipe lines
• Microtunnel boring machines are operated remotely
• Operator controls the machine from a control room on the surface of ground
• Most machines also have video cameras set up to give more information
PIPE JACKING
Jacking Procedure:

TRENCHLESS RENEWAL METHODS
• TRM can be categorized into the following types:
- Coatings - Sliplining - Pipe Bursting - Cured-in-place pipe - Grout
COATINGS
• To repair cracks in the original pipe, or to protect it from corrosive wastewaters or mechanical abrasion
• Coating is applied to the interior of the deteriorated pipe manually
• Coatings are applied by spray, brush, trowel, or roller
• Must be applied to clean, dry surface• Advantage is that no extra work or
equipment is necessary
SLIPLINING
• A flexible pipe of slightly smaller dia is slid through an existing pipe
• Used to repair leaks or restore structural stability to an existing pipeline
• Completed by installing a small carrier pipe into a large host pipe grouting the annular space between the two pipes
• Materials used are high density polyethylene, fibre reinforced plastic, polyvinyl chloride
PIPE BURSTING

CURED-IN-PLACE PIPE
• CIPP is typically a flexible tube constructed of non woven polyester felt material impregnated with a resin that hardens after installation
• Water pressure is produced with a stand pipe
A resin saturated, coated filled tube is inverted(left) or pulled (right) into a damaged pipe
Next, hot water or steam is used to cure the resin & form a tight-fitting, jointless & corrosion-resistant replacement pipe Fig.7: CIPP process
GROUT
• Grout is actually a variety of materials used to fill voids, stabilize soil, hold bricks in place, coat cement, & prevent infiltration
• A typical grouting application in new construction is to seal the joints between segmented concrete pipe
• It seal off ground water infiltration in nonpressure pipelines
TRENCHLESS TECHNOLOGY IN INDIA
• Need for adoption of trenchless technology in India
• Trenchless market
DISADVANTAGES OF TRADITIONAL OPEN TRENCH METHOD
• It involves excavation, pipe removal, pipe replacement, backfilling, and site restoration
• Pumping may be required in areas with a high water table
• Using open trench methods to install or repair underground utilities will invariably cause disruption to normal activities
• Traffic may be blocked, surface operations may be interrupted, & an open trench itself presents a danger
BENEFITS OF TRENCHLESS TECHNOLOGY
• Excavation is not necessary between access points
• Require less space underground, minimizing chances of interfering with existing utilities or abandoned pipes
• Are generally quiet and nondisruptive• Require less exposed working area &
therefore are safer for both workers & the community
CONCLUSION
• Most recent developments in TT is the use of robotics
• Robots are able to enter hazardous environments
• TT robots are able to provide users with digital data
