Pneumatic Pipe Ramming Solves Emergency Situation for Rail Corridor
Publication: Pipelines 2007: Advances and Experiences with Trenchless Pipeline Projects
Abstract
Pipe ramming continues to be one of the most versatile and capable trenchless pipe installation methods. The method is proven effective for horizontal, vertical, and angled applications. In recent years, the method has set new records in large diameter casing installations and is becoming more and more common. Pipe ramming is a favorite installation method for contractors installing casings under roads and rail lines because the method provides accurate installation in a wide range of soils without surface slump.
