What types of trenchless drilling machines are there?
Oct 21, 2024| 1. Horizontal directional drilling machine
Features: It can carry out long-distance, high-precision horizontal directional drilling, suitable for laying various pipelines across obstacles such as rivers, roads, and railways. Equipped with an advanced guidance system, it can monitor and adjust the drilling direction in real time. The construction speed is fast and has little impact on ground traffic and the environment.
Application areas: Laying of urban water supply and drainage pipelines, gas pipelines, communication cables, etc.
2. Pipe jacking machine
Features: The pipe is pushed into the ground section by section through a jack, which is suitable for laying large-diameter pipes. It can be constructed under harder geological conditions, such as rock, gravel layer, etc. The construction accuracy is relatively low, but it can withstand a large jacking force.
Application areas: Construction of urban sewage pipes, rainwater pipes, integrated pipe galleries, etc.
3. Micro tunnel boring machine
Features: Small size, high flexibility, suitable for construction in narrow spaces and complex geological conditions. Drilling is carried out by mechanical cutting, and the construction efficiency is high. The control of ground subsidence is better.
Application areas: Local repair and renewal of urban underground pipelines, excavation of small tunnels, etc.
4. Pneumatic spear
Features: Use compressed air to drive the spear forward, and the construction speed is fast. Suitable for laying short-distance, small-diameter pipes.
The equipment is simple and easy to operate.
Application areas: Laying of courtyard gas pipelines, communication cables, etc.
5. Pipe tamping hammer
Features: The pipeline is driven into the ground through the tamping force, which is suitable for passing through hard soil and rock layers. Large-diameter pipelines can be laid.
Application areas: Pipe laying through mountainous areas, rivers and other geologically complex areas.
