Underground Trenchless Construction
Description
Introduction to underground pipeline infrastructure. Focus on pipeline condition assessment. New construction such as horizontal directional drilling, pilot tube microtunneling, pipe bursting, and pipe jacking. Rehabilitation methods such as cured in place pipe lining, geotechnical consideration. Risk considerations for underground projects.Learning Outcomes
- Understand the underground infrastructure and learn about the complexities of the utility system.- Learn about different underground trenchless construction methods and the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
- Design a new pipe installation method using Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) from a desktop study to complete the design stage and learn all aspects of the construction phase
- Design a rehabilitation method using Cured In Place Pipe ( CIPP) method and identify all details required for the lining of a pipe.
- Get a comprehensive skill with respect to reading and understanding ground conditions and identifying the right technology for the proposed utility line.
