Abstract
The term pipe jacking is used to describe an installation method as well as a concept that is fundamental to a number of trenchless techniques. It is important to differentiate between the principle and technique. Pipe jacking can be described as the principle of using hydraulic rams to push preformed sections to line the hole formed by a cutting head or shield. Figures 5–1, 5–2 and 5–3 illustrate how the principle of pipe jacking is applied to auger boring, microtunnelling, and a jacked underpass. The range of sizes varies from 4 inches (100 mm) for an auger bore to 20 to 60 feet (6 to 18 meters) for the underpass.
