The steered pilot bore technique<br />

In the third step <strong>of</strong> the operati<strong>on</strong>, the first DN 300 ductile cast ir<strong>on</strong> pipe for medium<br />

with BLS ® joints is lowered into the arrival pit (Fig. 8. ) and coupled to the tracti<strong>on</strong> head<br />

<strong>on</strong> the fr<strong>on</strong>t casing pipe. The casing pipes, which are c<strong>on</strong>nected by l<strong>on</strong>gitudinal force-fit<br />

joints, are now pulled back to the launch pit; there they are recovered together with<br />

the feed auger. It takes next to no time for all the other pipes for medium to be coupled<br />

<strong>on</strong>to the pipe that has already been pulled in (Figs. 8. and 8. ). The tracti<strong>on</strong> head carries<br />

equipment for measuring the tractive force; this is used to measure the pulling-in forces<br />

acting <strong>on</strong> the string <strong>of</strong> pipes and, later <strong>on</strong>, to document them in a print-out.<br />
