Jacking pipes

Jacking pipes
Humes leads the industry and develops world class
jacking pipes ideally suited for use with modern, closed
faced microtunnelling systems.

We provide a comprehensive range of steel reinforced


concrete jacking pipes from DN300 to DN3600 in
a variety of classes and joint types to suit various
applications and installation methods.

Reinforced concrete pressure pipes are designed for the


combined effects of the external load and internal (in
service) pressure. Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/
NZS 4058:2007 Precast Concrete Pipes (Pressures and
Non-Pressure) gives a minimum requirement for factory
test pressure of 120% of working pressure in the pipeline.

The jacking technique


(microtunnelling)

Pipe jacking is a method of tunnel construction where


hydraulic jacks are used to thrust specially made pipes
through the ground behind a shield machine, from
launch shaft to receival shaft.

The term microtunnelling is also often used to describe


this method of pipe installation.

Pipe jacking is used to install conduits below ground for a


variety of applications including:

• sewerage pipelines
• stormwater pipelines
• road and rail culverts
• pressure pipelines
• as a sleeve pipe for other utility pipelines (water,
sewage, and electricity and communication cables)
• pipe replacement and relining.

gained by the use of pipe jacking techniques when
compared with the traditional open trench approach:

quantities of incoming and outgoing materials,

• Concrete pipes are less susceptible to damage

• All concrete pipe strengths are standardised

particular diameter and class.
• Steel reinforcement in concrete pipes adds
significantly to their inherent strength. The steel
reinforcement is shaped into cages by automatic cage
welding machines. The machines ensure that the
reinforcement cages are dimensionally correct and
have tight enginereed tolerances.

• Applications
Butt joint jacking pipes can provide a cost effective
solution for typically short length applications
where only limited flexibility is required and a soil or
watertight joint is not required. This pipe is also suited
to sleeve pipe applications for road and rail crossings
where the annulus between the utility pipeline and
conduit is to be filled with grout after installation.
