Because of its economical and technical efficiency, the pipe bursting method arouses great interest. This book introduces the technology of pipe rehabilitation by means of the pipe bursting method, provides extensive examples from practice and assists network owners, consulting engineers, planners and users in their every-day practice of specifying, tendering and performing pipe bursting projects.




Pipeline Design for Installation by Horizontal Directional Drilling


Book Description

This volume addresses the design of major pipeline or duct segments to be installed by horizontal directional drilling (HDD). This Manual of Practice, which covers topics specifically related to HDD installation, was prepared by a committee of senior engineers who are leaders in the development of HDD techniques and practices. HDD is a trenchless excavation method that is accomplished in three phases and uses a specialized horizontal drilling rig with ancillary tools and equipment. This Manual is meant to be a guide for design engineers with previous experience and knowledge of the HDD installation process and pipeline design methods. Topics covered include: predesign surveys; drilled path design; pipe design; construction impact; and as-built documentation.
