Summary: | "The complete guide to trenchless technology project
management, planning, costs, and methodsWritten by an
expert in the field of pipeline system engineering, this
book describes how to plan, schedule, and implement
efficient, cost-effective trenchless technology piping
projects. Filled with detailed illustrations and real-
world examples, Trenchless Technology: Planning, Equipment,
and Methods explains how to accurately compare the costs
of trenchless projects, considering geotechnical and rock
mass impacts, drilling fluids, and locating and tracking
equipment. This detailed reference provides important
information on how to estimate the cost of labor and
equipment, and schedule trenchless piping projects. A wide
range of trenchless technology methods suitable for
various ground and project conditions are discussed in
this practical resource.Coverage includes: Cost comparison
of trenchless technology methods Planning for trenchless
technology projects Project delivery methods Geotechnical
considerations Rock mass properties impacts on trenchless
project feasibility Tracking, locating, and planning tools
for horizontal directional drilling Drilling and
lubricating fluids Planning and construction requirements
for horizontal direction drilling Horizontal auger boring
Pipe ramming Microtunneling methods Pilot tube (or pilot
tube microtunneling) method Pipe/box jacking and utility
tunneling Cured-in-place pipe Sliplining Lateral renewal
Localized repair Planning and construction requirements
for pipe bursting Panel linings Spray-in-place pipe "-- |
