Advantages of Micro Pipe Jacking

The advantages of micro-pipe jacking are primarily reflected in the following aspects:

High Design Flexibility: Micro-pipe jacking can be flexibly designed and deployed based on topographic and geological conditions, avoiding sensitive areas, mountainous terrain, water source protection areas, and other complex terrain, thereby minimizing environmental damage.

Low Environmental Impact: Micro-pipe jacking uses mechanical or hydraulic jacking technology to push pipeline equipment underground, eliminating the need for large-scale excavation. This significantly reduces surface environmental damage and helps protect the surface ecosystem.

High Stability: As a jacking method for pipeline construction, micro-pipe jacking has minimal impact on underground structures and the ecological environment, resulting in high pipeline stability and a long service life.

Short Construction Period: Micro-pipe jacking is fast and can significantly shorten the construction period, typically by more than 50%. This helps reduce project time and costs.

Low Overall Cost: For short-distance pipe jacking and pipeline construction at depths greater than 5 meters, the cost of micro-pipe jacking is typically lower than trenching and other construction methods, offering significant economic advantages.

Minimal impact on urban operations: Micro-pipe jacking construction does not require the demolition of existing facilities, thus minimizing the impact on urban operations and lowering the social costs associated with construction.

However, micro-pipe jacking also has limitations. For example, the relatively small diameter of the pipes makes them incapable of carrying large objects; construction may require road closures, disrupting urban traffic; joints are prone to leakage; and the long length of the pipes makes maintenance more difficult.
