RCC Jacking Pipes

Pipe jacking is a method that is used to install a prefabricated pipe from a drive to a reception shaft in the ground. There are jacks that are located in the drive shaft which propels the pipe. It is the jacking force that is transmitted through the pipe and is directed to pipe jack excavation face.With traditional methods, cables and mains that were being installed could only be done with a continuing open cut excavation. This creates a lot of potential problems, challenges and time delays.

With the ability to utilise underground spaces, pipe jacking offers many benefits. This is especially true in areas that are becoming congested and complex. Many of the underground structures are comprised of sewers, water and electrical piping. They also consist of gas mains, telephone cables as well as networks for cable TV.

A wide robust range is available from DN300 to DN2200. They are a custom designed reinforced concrete jacking pipe incorporating a single wide jacking face including timber packers, a secure steel collar castonto the pipe and a flexible watertight joint. All these being essential for longer pipe jacks and unstable ground conditions.

The fixed steel collar Rcc Jacking Pipes provides high axial load transfer capacity and a flexible watertight joint. This is the ideal jacking pipe for all stormwater, sewerage, sleeve pipe and jacked low-pressure pipeline applications.
