• Trenchless
• Understand and plan
![Page 27: Introduction to Trenchless Methods Presented by Glenn M. Boyce, PhD, PE Senior Associates Presented by Glenn M. Boyce, PhD, PE Senior Associates April](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649ca55503460f94966521/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What to Do?
• Understand the site history and potential obstructions
• Look at old aerial photos• Conduct a
geotechnical program
• Locate all utilities
![Page 28: Introduction to Trenchless Methods Presented by Glenn M. Boyce, PhD, PE Senior Associates Presented by Glenn M. Boyce, PhD, PE Senior Associates April](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649ca55503460f94966521/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Potential Obstructions
• Cobbles or Boulders
• Wood
• Fill materials
• Hard zones
• Mixed faces
![Page 29: Introduction to Trenchless Methods Presented by Glenn M. Boyce, PhD, PE Senior Associates Presented by Glenn M. Boyce, PhD, PE Senior Associates April](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649ca55503460f94966521/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

![Page 35: Introduction to Trenchless Methods Presented by Glenn M. Boyce, PhD, PE Senior Associates Presented by Glenn M. Boyce, PhD, PE Senior Associates April](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649ca55503460f94966521/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Design Solutions
• Built a parallel pipe barrel – Increases capacity
– Allow the existing to remain in service
– Get to use the materials you want
• Slipline the existing after new
• Built a new entry and exit apron
![Page 36: Introduction to Trenchless Methods Presented by Glenn M. Boyce, PhD, PE Senior Associates Presented by Glenn M. Boyce, PhD, PE Senior Associates April](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649ca55503460f94966521/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Closing Thoughts
• Methods still evolving
• Many hybrid methods emerging
• Better alignment control emerging in auger boring applications
• Must identify potential obstructions (or get X-ray vision)

Conclusions• HDD is a minimally-intrusive trenchless
construction method suited for highly congested urban areas and high traffic zones
• Horizontal Directional Drilling equipment is capable of installing a wide range of utilities
• HDD will never replace traditional open-cut methods; however, they complement each other

Pneumatic Systems - Usually include a pneumatic tool and winch and bursts the pipe using the kinetic energy of the tool. The pipe is usually attached to either the burst head or tool.
Static Systems – Usually include a hydraulic power source and a rod shuttling system and use high tonnage to pull new line into place.
Small Portable Systems - Either pneumatic or static for doing small diameter and short runs (e.g. laterals).
Common Types of Bursting Systems

IntroductionIntroduction
Emerging field of pipe replacement “Replacement of the host pipe by
fragmenting the existing conduit and installing a completely new pipe of equal diameter or larger in its place.”

Conclusions• Pipe bursting is the only trenchless
method capable of installing a new pipe of equal or larger diameter as a replacement option
• Almost any type of existing pipe can be burst and replaced with most pipe materials
• Proper planning is critical to project success!

As-Builts, Operator Logs, Notes
• Contractor is responsible for marking the plans to indicate any and all vertical and horizontal deviations between the design and actual installation
• Operator logs/notes should be maintained and updated daily by the Contractor and should include–Pipe number, depth, pitch, steering
commands, and notes
