▌ MICRO-TuNNELINgAs the name implies, micro-tunneling is the term for constructing small tunnels. These small diameter tunnels make it impossible to have an operator inside the actual machine. Instead, the micro-tunnel bor-ing machine (“MTBM”) must be operated remotely.

▌ OPERATORThe operator directs the machine remotely from the safety of a control room on the ground’s surface. The operator is given constant feedback about the machine location, orientation, and corresponding hy-draulic devices via a computer console. Machines also have video cameras and laser guidance that give the operator more information. The operator controls the MTBM and the jacking frame with millimeter precision.

▌ PIPEIn most micro-tunneling operations the pipe is inserted from the entrance and pushed behind the ma-chine. This process is often called “Pipe jacking”. As the machine advances, more tunnel liner is pushed from the entrance; thus, the speed of the advancing machine is controlled by the speed at which the pipe is inserted.

▌ FRICTIONAs the length of tunnel increases, the friction against the earth around the pipe also increases.

Two practices are used to minimize this friction. First, “over-cutting” gives a slight gap between the in-ner edge of the tunnel and the outer edge of the liner. This requires a cutter wheel with a diameter ½ inch (12mm) to 4 inches (100mm) larger than the outside diameter of the liner. Second, an economical and ecologically friendly lubricant, often bentonite slurry, is injected into this gap.

In addition to the actual lubrication effect, the pressure of the lubricant also prevents the gap from col-lapsing.

▌ LONgER TuNNELSIn addition to the jacking frame, smaller jacks, called “interjacks,” may be inserted between sections of longer tunnel liners. These interjacks push the two sections of liner apart, while friction on the liner sec-tions between the interjack and the tunnel entrance prevent the liner from sliding backwards. Therefore, the liner behind the interjack does not move, and the sections in front of it receive additional pushing force.

32 guLF TuNNELINg

gT uses the world’s most reliable Micro-Tunneling machine, herrenknecht AVN type—complete with all equipment—to drive non man-entry tunnels, using pipe-jacking techniques in the trenchless concept of

pipe works. This modern machine type now allows access to the working face from the jacking pit via a door just behind the cutting face. Obstacles such as sheet piles, steel girders, and boulders can now simply be removed. This new access also provides the ability to replace worn cutter rings, allowing tunneling in hard rock to be extended to retention lengths of over 500m.

This system is ideal for use in urban areas. Additional ground-improvement processes will be unnecessary (such as compressed air, ground treatment, or freezing), and the convenient size of the launching and reception shafts allow for: ▌ Minimal disturbance to traffic ▌ Maximum possible conservation of protected landscape areas ▌ Compact containerized equipment design on the surface

CREW

The gulf Tunneling crew that is responsible for the herrenknecht AVN machines operation and maintenance are:

▌ MT engineer/operator ▌ MT fitter & welder ▌ MT electrician ▌ 5-7 laborers

M/S herrenknecht will provide direct technical assistance and/or presence on a need-to basis in the rare case of unforeseen difficulties during execution.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Micro-tunneling system components used on most projects include:

▌ Micro-tunneling machine c/w cutting head ▌ Control container c/w power pack module ▌ Jacking frame ▌ Interjack stations ▌ Separation plant c/w tanks with fresh water storage capacity ▌ Mobile crane to set up the machine and to handle the pipes ▌ Bentonite pump and bentonite system ▌ Feed and slurry pumps ▌ pipe rack to hold feed and slurry pipes ▌ Shaft feed and flexibile slurry lines ▌ Launch seals ▌ Laser guidance system ▌ Generator with sufficient power output for all components’ requirements ▌ Launch and reception shafts ▌ Jacking pipes 3 meters long ▌ Water supply

KEY AdVANTAgES TO MICRO-TuNNELINg/PIPE-jACKINg

Micro-Tunneling and Pipe-jacking is reliable and cost-effective. Key advantagesinclude:

▌ Minimal earth moving (only for launching & receiving shafts) ▌ Absence of ground-water lowering (thus preventing dangerous settlements of building foundations and road services) ▌ Optimal protection for people and nature ▌ Minimal effect to traffic and pedestrian mobility above ground ▌ Flexible driving alignment (i.e. curved or linear) ▌ All-weather construction (thus allowing for rapid completion and meeting deadlines) ▌ All ground-condition tunneling (including clay, silt, sand, gravel, and limestone)

1. MICRO-TuNNELINgIN BRIEF

guLF TuNNELINg 33

Structural and mechanical components create a system for tunneling activities. The following pages provide a brief description of the main components in Micro-Tunneling construction.

2. TuNNELINg PROCESS

34 guLF TuNNELINg

2.1 Micro-Tunneling Machine c/w Cutting headThe cutting head of the tunneling machine is fitted with disc cutters to cut theentire face of the tunnel, and is designed in a manner to operate in saturatedground with water pressure.

The excavated material passes through openings in the cutting head to the crushing & mixing chamber. The conical crushing chamber reduces the excavated material to a size suitable for conveying to the surface separation plant. Transportation of crushed material is achieved by using injected water through the feed nozzles, which carry it through the back pipe. Crushing the excavated material minimizes blocking of system components.

The cutting wheel is driven by means of hydraulic motors located within the cutting head assembly. This renders both excavating and crushing powers independent from the distance to the launch shaft.

The rotation of the cutting head and transportation of the excavated material is continually controlled and operated while the TBM progresses forward.

The advance movement of the cutting head is achieved by the jacking forces from the pipes behind as they are pushed forward with hydraulic rams located in the jacking frame.

The following are special features for AVN machines:

▌ Designed for soft ground, mixed ground, and especially hard rock conditions by use of different cutting wheels (full face excavation) ▌ Central access to cutting wheel for tool replacement (back-loading system) ▌ Highly reliable steering operation due to inductive measuring system ▌ Variable flushing modes / jet systems to suit different ground conditions ▌ Superior cone crusher ▌ Heavy-duty, long-life main bearing and high torque peripheral drive ▌ Hydraulic power pack in machine can ▌ Completely remote-controlled

(All machines compatible with u.N.S. guidance System.)

guLF TuNNELINg 35

2.2 CONTROL CONTAINERBoth the control station and the power pack modules are housed within the same standard control container, thus facilitating the setup and relocation around the site. For the machine, the container will be located adjacent to the launch shaft.

The control container is a management device, where all system components can be operated and monitored via the on-board computer system and an array of measurement devices. Three steering cylinders enable millimeter boring precision from the operator’s panel in the control container. Steering movement in any direction allows operator to correct alignment or curve the drives with the simple push of a button.

The control room is set as close as possible to the excavated shaft, so convenient monitoring by the operator is continuously available.

36 guLF TuNNELINg

2.3 jACKINg FRAMEThe jacking frame consists of hydraulic rams, which constantly push the jacking pipes into the bored tunnel. The jacking frame rests on the floor of the launch shaft. The shaft wall provides the reaction to the pipe thrusting forces by means of a concrete thrust pad, that is cast into place after the frame is positioned.

guLF TuNNELINg 37

2.4 LASER & guIdANCE SYSTEMA laser guidance system was developed specifically for use with this herrenknecht AVN machine. An electronic laser is preset to the desired grade and alignment (i.e. vertical & horizontal axis) where the target plate is hermetically sealed within the cutting head. This enables the laser beam to define the exact position of the cutting head at all times during the drive.

The system consists of a target unit and a laser set. Via the main processor, the actual position for the cutting head is calculated and displayed graphically on a monitor conveniently located in the operator’s control panel. A measuring wheel also provides continuous measurement of the tunnel length.

The computer-controlled guidance system constantly monitors all operating functions of the system, with continuous data updates that enable print-outs whenever necessary. A complete time-log of each drive is also recorded for future reference.

Furthermore, the guidance system provides a constant record of the following data:

▌ Date & time ▌ Total drive length (m) ▌ Line & level (mm) ▌ Vertical & horizontal angle of the cutting head assembly (mm/m) ▌ Stroke of all steering cylinders (mm) ▌ Thrust of the jacking rig (tons) ▌ Torque at the cutting wheel (bars)

38 guLF TuNNELINg

2.5 MATERIAL CONVEYANCE ANd SEPARATIONA feed pump located next to the fresh water tank on the surface pressurizes the feed water to the crushing chamber/cone nozzles. The reduced excavated material mixes with feed water to form slurry. This is pumped out by slurry pumps (located inside the tunnel and at the bottom of the launch shaft) towards the separation plant where materials are separated from water and clean water is returned to tanks.

guLF TuNNELINg 39

The bentonite mixture acts as a lubricant and face support medium in the pipe jacking process. Through injection nozzles in the pipe, the mixture is forced into an annulus that results from a deliberate diameter difference between the tunneling machine and the concrete pipe. The resulting upward pressure reduces pipe friction and, subsequently, the necessary jacking forces.

In any desired product pipe, a bentonite station with three ball valves may be installed. This station connects each valve to the evenly-distributed nozzles on the circumference of the product pipe. An electrical signal from the container activates the individual pneumatically-controlled valves. A pneumatic actuator opens the ball valve and enables bentonite to flow through the selected nozzle.

2.6 BENTONITE PuMP & BENTONITE SYSTEMThe bentonite pump and system’s main purpose is to reduce friction. The activity of the slurry pumps (used to remove the spoil) is constantly monitored to maintain maximum recovery of excavated material. This is necessary because the spoil tends to flow towards the pipe/soil annulus, and that increases the external friction between these surfaces.

40 guLF TuNNELINg

2.7 LAuNChINg SEALA steel launch seal, coated in flexible polyurethane foaming agent, will be fixed onto a concrete eye properly located on the launching shaft wall face. The cutting head starts its boring at precisely that specified location. The purpose of the seal rubber is to prevent any injected materials and fines from coming through the opened boundary.

2.8 INTERjACK STATIONInterjack stations are used for long distance pipe jacking to move the pipeline in separate sections. The skin friction resulting in feed resistance is divided by the number of interjack stations; consequently, the allowed jacking force of the pipe will not be exceeded.

The position and number of interjack stations in line are subject to change, depending on the soil conditions. The first interjack station is installed at a distance of approximately 50m behind the machine with subsequent stations installed at approximate distances of 150m.

hddPROVIdES

directional boring, commonly called horizontal directional drilling or “hdd,” is a steerable trenchless method of installing underground pipes, conduits, and cables in a shallow arc along a prescribed bore path by using a surface-launched drilling rig, with minimal impact on the surrounding area. directional boring is used when trenching or excavating is impractical.

directional boring minimizes environmental disruption. It is suitable for a variety of soil conditions and jobs including road, landscape, and river crossings. Installationlengths up to 2,000m have been completed, and diameters up to 56” (1,200 mm) have been installed in shorter runs. Pipes can be made of materials such as PVC,polyethylene, ductile iron, and steel, as long as the pipes can be pulled through the drilled hole.

directional boring is used for installing infrastructure such as:

It is used for crossing waterways, roadways, shore approaches, congested areas, environmentally sensitive areas, and areas where other methods are costlier.

hdd is used instead of other techniques to provide less traffic disruption, lower cost, deeper and/or longer installation, no access pit, shorter completion times, added directional capabilities, and overall environmental safety.

The technique has extensive use in urban areas for developing subsurface utilities as it avoids extensive open cut trenches. uncontrolled drilling can lead to damages of existing utilities, however; so, the hdd method necessitates that the operator has complete information about the existing utilities so that he plans the whole alignment in a way that prevents any damage to them. different government agencies have established legislation to ensure safe work execution and to authorize such work in urban environments. different trenchless-technology promoting organizations have developed guidelines for this technique in order to standardize of the techniques.
