Sustainable Pipe Jacking Technology in the Urban Environment

The book "Sustainable Pipe Jacking Technology in the Urban Environment" provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements and innovations in trenchless technology, particularly through the combination of microtunneling and pipe jacking methods. These methods are more environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and less time-consuming than traditional open trench excavations, making them particularly suitable for urban construction projects and the renewal of urban infrastructure. The pipe jacking method is a non-destructive technique for installing underground pipelines that utilizes a tunnel boring machine (TBM) and hydraulic pressure forces generated in a deep jacking shaft. This technique has become established worldwide and is commonly used for the installation of sewage lines, cable tunnels, as well as oil and gas pipelines.
