Inspecting the Executive Method at the Intersection of Pipeline and Road Transportation Systems

چکیده مقاله

Crossing water, oil and gas pipelines from roads has always been accompanied by the destruction of the pavement structure, which in practice causes many problems. The pipe jacking method is a very convenient and economical way to facilitate pipeline transportation at the time of intersection with road transport. In this method, due to the lake of the pavement destruction, the route traffic does not stop and excavation volume is dramatically reduced. On the other hand, due to the lack of traffic diversion, security is much higher. The operating procedure in this system is conducted through drilling and tubing by means of hydraulic jacks. One of the ways to maintain the existing pavement during the passing of facilities through it is the implementation of the pipe jacking system, as will be discussed in this paper. One of the advantages of this method is reducing the amount of excavation, reducing costs, reducing manpower, increasing efficiency and speeding up the performance. The other advantages of this executive method is the correspondence with the environment.
