Ductile iron jacking pipes
thesis
posted on 2017-10-06, 13:25 authored by Andrew M. ScottInstallation of pipes in urban areas requires a pipe
product possessing high strength and pressure ratings
which can be used with laying techniques causing
minimum surface disruption. This thesis reviews
trenchless pipe laying techniques and presents the
findings from a detailed study concerning the mechanics
of the pipe bursting process. The development of a new
ductile iron joint for pipe bursting applications was
undertaken and testing of the joint in the laboratory
and in the field is described in detail. [Continues.]
