Trenchless Technology: Pipeline and Utility Design, Construction, and Renewal, Second Edition

by Mohammad Najafi, Sanjiv Gokhale

Overview

A fully updated guide to no-dig engineering

This thoroughly revised reference covers the latest techniques and materials for high-demand trenchless technology in underground projects. The book offers complete details on new tools, techniques, and analysis methods that can save you thousands of dollars in costs and weeks of surface disruptions.

Written by recognized experts in the field, Trenchless Technology Pipeline and Utility Design, Construction, and Renewal, Second Edition offers clear explanations of the various trenchless technologies available—from pipe ramming, microtunneling, horizontal auger boring, horizontal directional drilling, pilot tube, direct pipe; to cured-in-place pipe, spray applied pipe lining, pipe replacement (bursting) and sliplining. Readers will get complete instruction on how to choose the best method for the project at hand.

• Refreshed throughout to reflect current tools, techniques, and regulations
• Explains pipe materials, social and environmental costs, pipe jacking, pipeline and pipeline renewal with reference to NASSCO and ASTM standards, as well as relevant EPA guidelines
• Written by nation’s leading experts on the topic
