The steered pilot bore technique<br />

The approximately 0 mm wide annular<br />

gap which this leaves fills up <strong>on</strong> its own if<br />

the soil is <strong>of</strong> a suitable type. So far, there<br />

have not been adverse effects <strong>on</strong> the<br />

ground surface due to settling.<br />

The technique is fully developed in technical<br />

terms. It combines the well known<br />

steered pilot boring technique which has<br />

proved its worth in the field <strong>of</strong> sewage<br />

pipe installati<strong>on</strong> with the technique <strong>of</strong> pulling<br />

in ductile cast ir<strong>on</strong> pipes with l<strong>on</strong>gitudinal<br />

force-fit restrained joints. There is <strong>on</strong>ly<br />

a small amount <strong>of</strong> interference with traffic<br />

and the envir<strong>on</strong>ment. This technique<br />

is proving to be very ec<strong>on</strong>omical and the<br />

reas<strong>on</strong>s for this are the short installati<strong>on</strong><br />

times, the saving <strong>on</strong> below-ground work,<br />

such for example as the lining <strong>of</strong> pipe<br />

trenches, the temporary storage <strong>of</strong> soil,<br />

and transport to and from the site, the<br />

kindliness to any adjacent infrastructure,<br />

and the low-emissi<strong>on</strong> nature <strong>of</strong> the installati<strong>on</strong><br />

work.<br />
