Micro Tunnelling / Pipe Jacking

Micro-tunnelling is a process that involves using a remotely controlled tunnel boring machine ranging from size  300mm to 4500mm diameter to install a string of pipes underground,  in any ground conditions. In Pipesolutions, we only utilizes slurry type micro-tunneling machine where spoils are removed using water through the slurry pipes via pumps.  The benefit of micro-tunneling is it minimizes the impact on the traffic and surrounding area compare to conventional open trench excavation for pipe laying, which disrupt traffic and have a negative impact on the community.

This is currently the most precise pipeline installation method. Throughout the process, line and grade are meticulously monitored and maintained. When attempting to establish a new pipeline in an area where subsurface utilities already exist, this can be critical. Micro tunnelling installations are ideal for gravity sewer construction.

Micro Tunnelling / Pipe Jacking

Micro tunnelling is a process that involves using a remotely controlled boring machine with a diameter less than a man’s combined with the pipe jacking technique to install a string of pipes underground, particularly in wet and unstable ground conditions, with the soils at the cutter face being controlled to maintain balance. This method avoids having long stretches of open cut trenches for pipe laying, which disrupt traffic and have a negative impact on the community.

This is currently the most precise pipeline installation method. Throughout the process, line and grade are meticulously monitored and maintained. When attempting to establish a new pipeline in an area where subsurface utilities already exist, this can be critical. Micro tunnelling installations are ideal for gravity sewer construction.

How It Works

The sequence of works in micro-tunneling pipe installation:

Construction of an entry and exit shaft at the proposed manhole location. 

The micro-tunneling machine is then lowered in the entry shaft. 

The MTBM machine will then remove the soil from its cutter face through the slurry pipes. The cutter face is rotating during this process in order loosen the earth in front of its cutter face. The loose earth will then be carried out through its slurry pipes.

The product pipe will then be pushed the MTBM machine forward.

The machine will be retrieve from the ground once it reaches the exit shaft.

Depending on design, a manhole will be constructed at the location of the exit shaft or connection to the existing manhole can be carried out. 

At Pipesolution, unlike other contractors, we prefer to cover our open shafts with concrete cover during non-operation hours for safety of public. 

These shafts will then be handed over to the civil contractors for manhole construction, inspection chambers, or etc. 

Horizontal Directional Drilling

This trenchless pipeline installation approach is particularly environmentally friendly. It does not need a huge working area and does not interfere with other projects or urban traffic systems. It may be done at any time of the day and takes less time to complete, making it more cost effective than traditional open-trench procedures.

This method is generally use for the installation of pipeline that does not have requirements for gradient in the pipeline.

HDD technique entails the use of specialized drilling instruments that can be carefully directed around any barriers to finish any pipeline crossing. This technique is adaptable to any pipe size, length, or material that must be placed. Pipelines carrying oil, natural gas, petrochemicals, water, electricity, and network connections have all been installed using HDD.

How It Works

First

Pilot Hole Drilling a small diameter pilot hole is drilled from the ground surface using an appropriate pilot hole drilling BHA (Bottom Hole Assembly). The BHA pilot hole will be spud in at the entrance location and bored into the earth along a planned course that will traverse beneath the obstructions (rivers, lakes, channels, roads, railways, runways, existing tunnels, marsh lands, shorelines
Second

Reaming the tiny diameter pilot hole must be widened to suit the desired product pipe as soon as the pilot hole drilling operation is done. Install a bigger diameter BHA and ream it (by rotating while pulling or pushing) along the pilot hole that has previously been drilled. Depending on the final HDD borehole diameter designed for the product pipe, this process may come in stages/sizes.
Third

Pipe Pull Back after the expansion process is complete, the product pipe must be pulled in and attached to the HDD bore. This operation is performed by connecting the pull head to the front end of the product pipe and attaching the pull head to the retractor assembly. The pull-in assembly is then pulled into the HDD bore along with the product pipe through the HDD rig. The process is complete when the pullback assembly reaches the surface on the rig side with the product pipeline. The pull-in assembly must be disassembled from the product pipe to perform pipe connections or other subsequent work.

Line Stopping

Expand and change the existing printing system under full operating conditions. The line outage is used to temporarily shut down the pipeline system to complete or repair. They allow the system without working for business interruption as usual. The line stop can be done with almost any type of pipe with a pressure of 900 psi @ 60+. The line stop operation consists of a special flange assembly, a temporary valve, and our actuator. Install and test fittings and install temporary valves to complete the hot tap. After hot tapping, install the line stop actuator and insert the stop head into the line. When you have completed the required work, remove the locking head, and set the end plug. The end plug seals the valve flange and allows you to remove the ad hoc gate valve. The blind flange is installed, and the process is complete.

How It Works

Step 1
Line Stopping Head is being inserted into the line. When the wheel reaches the bottom of the pipe, the head will pivot and roll into position.

Step 2
The Line Stopping Head has reached the bottom of the pipe and is now rolling into position. The seal will gradually be created as the sealing element touches the interior wall of the pipe.

Step 3
The head and sealing element are now in its final position and a seal has been created. The pipeline will be bled off and the modification can begin

Hot Tapping

Hot tapping is an alternative technology that makes it possible you can establish a connection without shutting down the system released gas into the atmosphere. Hot tapping called line tap, pressure tap, pressure cutting and side cutting. The process includes attachments branch connections and cutting holes in operation without interrupting the gas flow product release or loss. Hot taps allow new connections insert device into existing system, stream, permanent or temporary bypass, preparatory stage to block the line with an inflatable boat, temporary balloon plug (plug). Hot tapping equipment is available in almost every pipeline see for size, pipe material, and pressure ratings. transmission and distribution system. Primary for general hot tap application equipment, drills, branch fittings and valves.

Hot Tapping How It Works

The basic steps for performing a hot tap are:

1. Weld the fitting to the existing pipeline (Steel), screwed (cast iron) or glued (plastic) and install the valve.

2. Install the hot tap machine via permanent valve.

3. Cut the coupon and perform a hot tap a pipeline through an open valve. Special equipment holds a “coupon” for withdrawals after a hot tap surgery. Withdraw the coupon from the valve close the valve.

4. Remove the tapping machine and add a branch pipeline. Release oxygen, open the valve, new the connection works.

Closed Circuit Television Video or CCTV

A remotely operated CCTV camera can be utilized to get to the bottom of problems without having to use invasive or destructive inspection methods like digging up underground lines or removing appliances, walls, or floors to obtain access to your plumbing. Remotely operated CCTV cameras are a highly versatile tool that provide an environmentally friendly, cost-effective inspection method that can be configured to serve a variety of situations.

These CCTV cameras to detect the exact position of drain, sewer, and pipe blockages, establish what’s causing them, and then offer the simplest and most cost-effective repair option based on their findings. CCTV cameras are also very cost-effective because they are non-invasive. They can even be used for preventative maintenance to catch little problems before they become big ones.

At Pipesolution, we carried out all our installed pipeline inspection in house as we have the experience and equipment to conduct these inspections. We also provide these services to contractors or end users who wish to have new or existing pipeline to be inspected.
