Advantages of Micro Pipe Jacking

Advantages of Micro Pipe Jacking

Slurry-water balanced pipe jacking has the following advantages:

1) It is applicable to a wide range of soil types, including high groundwater pressure and widely varying conditions.

2) It effectively maintains the stability of the excavation surface, minimally disturbing the soil surrounding the pipe, and thus minimizing ground settlement caused by pipe jacking.

3) Compared with other types of pipe jacking, slurry-water balanced pipe jacking has a lower total thrust during construction, especially in clay layers, making it particularly suitable for long-distance pipe jacking.

4) The working environment within the pit is better and safer. Because slurry-water pipes are used to transport spoil, there are no dangerous operations such as lifting and handling.

5) Slurry-water balanced pipe jacking is a continuous operation, resulting in faster progress.

Process Control

Because pipe jacking construction is highly specialized and requires a specialized construction team, managers must have a thorough understanding of the construction team. Operators must undergo rigorous pre-job training and examinations to ensure they are fully familiar with the working environment and construction equipment.
