A Soltau Model RVS 250-AS-STS microtunneling machine with a slurry spoil removal system was selected on a lease arrangement to install the 24-in. sewer line. A mixed face cutting head configuration was selected in anticipation of the varying ground conditions. The unit is supplied with high pressure water jets which have proven effective in boring through dense clays. The RVS 250-AS-STS involves two new innovations. First, it utilizes a state-of-the-art laser guidance system coupled with a completely digital operator control panel with continuous, up-to-date information on the tunneling process. A data logger, which can record data at specific time intervals or length of pipe jacked, also provides for a permanent record of the operation. 1, record 1, English, - microtunneling%20machine

Microtunnelling is becoming increasingly important. Whether house connections, gas and water pipelines, pipe renovation or laying cables - the principle of underground pipe-jacking has proven successful. Essential advantages are environmentally friendly processes, minimized disturbance to public highways, easy working in urban areas, economical management... Auger material removal will be applied in soil without ground water. The advantages of the auger system: Simpler machine design than the AVN system and direct discharge of the excavated material, especially with cohesive ground. 3, record 3, English, - auger%20system

Bristol Relief Sewer... this particular pipeline was to be used as a gravity flow sanitary sewer-line... A Herrenknecht microtunnel slurry system with an AVN 800 drilling head was used to install a 36-inch concrete pipe. Pipe sections were installed in sixteen (16) foot lengths, which required the tunnel alignment be kept straight as possible, as the longer lengths of pipe made for a very rigid tunnel line. 2, record 4, English, - slurry%20system

A partir d’un puits d’entrée, une tête d’attaque, ou microtunnelier, guidée par laser, fore le sol dans la direction désirée, tandis que de puissants vérins forcent, dans le microtunnel ainsi creusé, des éléments de conduite emboîtables les uns dans les autres. On réalise ainsi des sections de tunnel de 150 mètres de long et d’un diamètre allant jusqu'à 1, 2 mètre. Le microtunnelage présente de nombreux avantages en milieu urbain, où l'espace au sol est très encombré. 2, record 6, French, - microtunnelage

C'est la première fois en France, que le microtunnelage est utilisé pour le renforcement de collecteurs d’eaux usées et pluviales. Le microtunnelage consiste à creuser à l'aide d’une fraise un petit tunnel et de pousser les tuyaux les uns après les autres. L'accès à ce tunnel se fait par des puits verticaux. 4, record 6, French, - microtunnelage
