Sandor Bartos, Ruppert, an engineer in the 1870s in Vienna. A 1.1 m diameter water supply pipe was
Budapest, Hungary pressed through the clay ground by under the Wiener Neustadt shipping channel from
a shaft prepared at the riverside. The first 90 cm long pipe was formed by cutting
edge and the series of pipes were pressed through, connecting one after one. In the
pipe, a kneeling worker dug the ground by manual tools¹. In Hungary, no-dig network
construction has been going on since 1963. It means primarily hydraulic pipe
pressing and horizontal drilling. For the construction of public supply networks, mainly
sewers, the hydraulic pressing technology is used. For other networks, including long-
distance oil, water and gas pipelines the horizontal drilling is used. The wide range
spreading of no-dig technologies needed development of the calculation methods and
the elaboration of construction guidelines. This document includes all important
aspects of construction, including preparation, design and execution of hydraulic
pressing and horizontal drilling, working safety regulation, and, of course, the related

Coventry, England However, historically, investment in infrastructure renewal has been under funded
with many assets in service well beyond their original design life. With the advent of
privatisation came the requirement for asset condition to be improved. Customer
Service and Regulatory pressures on issues such as water quality and DG5 sewer
flooding events enabled finances to be secured. As investment programmes
accelerated the need for engineers to find better, more cost effective solutions
emerged. Within Severn Trent Water (STW), our major infrastructure rehabilitation
programme has seen over 7000 km of work completed on water mains and 500 km
on sewers. This paper explores how STW has developed the methods of
procurement to suit the changing needs of the market place and has optimised its
rehabilitation programme delivery.

constitutes one of the most serious and complicated problems being dealt with by
Ing Jaroslav
designers, construction companies and, above all, the operators and investors in the
Raclavsky
field of sanitary engineering. This is due to many causes: the infrastructure systems
have been constructed gradually, in many cases without logical continuity, and by
using materials from various producers. These are the busiest parts of cities with a
whole number of institutions, shops, schools, pedestrian zones, etc. Each structural
interference or a new construction employing classic means therefore entails
limitations and many further necessary measures. Owing to this, finding of solutions
to these problems was often postponed and the problems only accumulated. This is
one of the reasons why such a great attention has been recently paid to trenchless
technologies. In this respect, the operators of sanitary systems in the city of Brno hav

9905 Ole Krogh, Aabyhoj, Planning of Network Rehabilitation Planning of Network Rehabilitation. The need for optimisation and planning of pipe
Denmark rehabilitation increases concurrently with the growing interest for limiting unnecessary
resource consumption, protection of natural water resources and the environment in
general. Large parts of the pipe networks of today are old and it is becoming clear
that the underground pipe networks do not last forever. Many pipelines are in a
condition where replacement/rehabilitation of these would be cheaper compared to
continuously repair of pipe damages as well as consequences of pipe leakages (2nd

Stratford Upon Installation Problems considering curved microtunnelling there are a number of points to address. They
Avon, England include: *Microtunnelling in a straight line has been shown by experience to be easier
than driving around curves and less likely to suffer problems. Curves should only be
considered when there are material benefits. * It is not a problem for a microtunnellin
machine to tunnel a curve. It is the resulting pipe structural integrity and steering
control that are problematic. (2nd paragraph of several)

tech services are brought onto the marketplace. By now, information networks have
reached virtually total coverage, thus ensuring worldwise access not only to essential
services, but also services designed chiefly for the labor market. In practice, this has
improved the quality of life for large sections of the population. Together with market
liberalization, this improvement has led to the need to renew and update existing
technological networks on a continuing basis to make sure that curring edge,
competitive products and services can be offered. With an improved lifestyle and an
increasingly wide range of market offerings to choose from, man has found it
necessary to bear certain fundamental considerations in mind whenever he attempts

Japan Slurry Pipe-Jacking the use of pipe-jacking, which uses mud slurry on soil or weathering sedimentary
rock. First, the guidelines of this method and examples of field data are described.
Second, in regard to the use of soil on this slurry pipe-jacking method, the prediction
equation is discussed in order to better explain the characteristics of the thrust and
the friction resistance. In conclusion, mud slurry is important in the pushing process
by using the field data.

9912 Dr. Andrew Russell, Local Repair of Sewers Local Repair of Sewers. Sewer deterioration starts from initial defects such as
Swindon, England cracked sewers due to overloading, leaking joints, damage at connections or third
Richard Swan party interference. Deterioration of these initial defects may lead to deformation of
the sewer, subsidence, loss of side support and finally sewer collapse. To prevent
this from happening the engineer has the following solutions: * Do nothing; * Replace
the damaged sewer using the open cut method; * Renovate the complete manhole to
manhole length, or; * Carry out a local repair. Local repairs may be used for the
structural repair and prevention of infiltration into, and exfiltration from, sewers. In
situations where local repairs are appropriate they can be used as an alternative to
full length manhole to manhole linings and so offer water companies the potential for
making considerable cost savings over full length sewer renovation. (2nd paragraph

Riitta Virtanen contracting in rehabilitation of water supply and sewerage systems since beginning of
1990's until today in the Baltic States. Two international cases will be used as
examples - one completed contract in Tallinn for 10 km of NoDig sewerage
rehabilitation, and Riga where systematical steps have been taken to enable
rehabilitation and maintenance of the city's water supply and waste water systems in
the future. This presentation will share both the Consultant and the Contractor
viewpoint to NoDig contracting which includes the overall decision-making in contract
strategy that the Client needs to undergo before entering into actual tendering phase.
The objective of the presentation is also to show that investments in rehabilitation and
maintenance of underground assets is an item of a systematic development for long
term benefits, thus an item worth for separate contracting in a larger volume of
kilometers - either local or international - in order to maximize the service life of the u

Yokohama, Japan Gray Cast Iron iron pipes" buried in old times gas are subject to breakage and great amount of gas
Mitsunori Komori leaks and its failures could be catastrophic. Consequently, we are systematically
replacing these old gas pipes with "polyethylene pipes" which offer the advantages of
high ductility and resistance to corrosion. However, replacement of all the old gas
pipes by the open-cut method is both time-intensive and costly. Additionally, it creates
a disposal problem for the large volumes of surplus soil excavated and is a traffic
distrubance. Solving these problems, foreign countries have adopted several
methods of renewing the old pipes by inserting a polyethylene pipe into existing pipe.
However, these methods can be used only for some of the limited gas pipes in Japan
because there are a lot of complicated pipelines include bends and tees in Japanese
urban areas and these methods are not applicable to bends. Tokyo Gas has
developed the world's first "Flex Liner Method" reported here as a renewal method
that is also applicable at the bends in pipelines. The method is classified into close-fi
9915 Wim Elzink, Quality Assurance of Close-fit Liners Quality Assurance of Close-fit Liners. This paper describes some lining techniques
Dedemsvaart, belonging to the so-called family of Close-fit linings. Such techniques provide the
Netherlands Christof existing pipeline with a plastic pipe liner in such a manner that the annular space
BaumgartelMike
between the two is minimal, thus giving optimal flow conditions. Examples of close-fit
Shepherd
lining techniques are U-Liner, Compact Pipe, Swagelining and Rolldown. Of necessity
a close-fit liner pipe undergoes some changes in characteristics (e.g. geometrical
characteristics) during the installation process. To be able to judge the functionality of
the installed lining, demonstration of the quality of the new pipe after installation is
required. To overcome the need for destructive testing of the just installed pipe the
concept of simulated installation has been adopted in the respective system
standards drafted by CEN / ISO. Furthermore, the distinction between independent
liners and interactive liners, relevant when lining water supply pipelines, is recognised.
Typical characteristics of close-fit lining techniques and the high quality assurance

(EN) and draft (prEN) forms. This paper reviews the actual and potential impact of
these standards, focussing in particular on the important renovation technique family
of lining with cured-in-place pipes, and the important national market of Germany. The
two major standards considered are EN 752-5, which provides a general overview of
the planning and design of gravity sewer rehabilitation for use by the network owner
operator, and prEN 13566-4 which specifies in detail the requirements and test
methods for cured-in-place pipe liners within the overall context of "product system
standards for plastics piping systems used for renovation of underground non-
pressure drainage and sewerage networks. Brief reference is also made to other
emerging CEN documents aimed at bridging the gap between the setting of functional

Gumbel Wim Elzink guidance standard of the above title drafted by a dedicated task group of the
European Committee for Standardisation (CEN). The guidance document was
developed to meet a number of perceived needs. First, it provides an overview of the
product system standards being developed by CEN. Secondly, it reviews various
aspects of the design of lining systems which are outside the scope of the product
standards, but considered essential background information. Thirdly, it considers the
environmental impact and other aspects of the installation of lining pipes, which may
vary not only according to renovation technique family but also between specific
techniques within a given family. The overall aim of the document is to explain the
practical context of the detailed requirements of the product system standards it
supports.

Zsambek, Hungary condition of public utilities is a vital ingredient of people's everyday life and these
facilities are considered key components of the comfort people like to enjoy. Their
very existence and proper operation have grown to be a basic expectation. In
Hungary, water supply and drainage networks are the oldest and most obsolete
components of public utilities. Some of them were laid more than 100 years ago and
also the natural gas pipeline networks tend to grow in age although they have been
developed at a considerable rate only during the past few decades. Parallel with their
ageing also the probability of the need for their reconstruction tends to increase (2nd

Baldham, Germany are our manifold experiences in dealing with the risks inherent in this kind of
construction and in avoiding them. By this we understand above all the technical
precautions that have to be taken while planning and realizing NO-DIG-constructions.
Additionally, we offer consulting services on descriptions of efficiency and technical
conditions of contract. We have set down that our consulting service on help in case
of demands on payment agreements with construction and liability insurances is a
special field of activity.The competence of the experts is meant to ensure the lowest
possible risk of NO-DIG-constructions, which is, of course, the interest of all persons
involved.
9920 Dr.-Ing. Jorg Iseie, AROBIS - "Pipe Robotics" AROBIS - "Pipe Robotics" - AROBIS is the abbreviation of "Altlastenroboter und
Karlsruhe, Germany Informationssystem". The goal of the project is to develop tools that facilitate getting
environmental information about the underground. AROBIS consists out of two parts,
a rough tool for getting soil samples out of the unpiped borehole and a robot for the
inspection of waste areas and for the sampling of soil, water and air. The project was
started in the summer of 1996 and will be completed at the end of this year. All
partners brought in experience, manpower and their own money. The Federal
Environmental Agency in Berlin (UBA - Umwelt-Bundesamt) supported the project w
about 2,5 million DM.

Takeshi Oshita Applicability of Radar System for Detecting Hollows. Methods used to survey ground
Yasumitsu Ichimura deformation or hollows around underground structures have included observation of
the ground both visually and with television camera or have included observation of
the surrounding ground by observing the state of cracking or separation of concrete.
Although such methods can be used to judge the soundness of the structure itself to
some degree, it is difficult to use them to gain a comprehensive understanding of the
soundness of the structure including the state of the ground surrounding it. There is,
therefore, a demand for the establishment of a non-destructive method of accurately
exploring for hollows, looseness, or water channels (first of several paragraphs)
9922 Engineer Serge A. Social Costs or Social Impacts?
Boileau, Montreal, Social Costs or Social Impacts? Consideration of social costs in project feasibility
Canada studies is somehow quite recent. In North America, for example, the U.S. Army Corp.
of Engineers first used it in the 1940s to justify dam and flood control projects. This
origin may explain partly, with all due respect, why we all have this urge of placing a
price tag on these costs. Take a human being, train him as an engineer and provide
him with an army type background and you obtain the most rational analyst, that will
make every effort to bring all costs involved in a project to the same, down to earth,
comparison level. In such a situation, it is not surprising to find the following definition
of Social costs: "Social costs and benefits are the dollar value, whether direct or
indirect, placed on those parts of a transaction that affect society as a whole, yet not
included in its price". (Third paragraph of several)

Bruzzone, Genova, performance of gas distribution systems in case of failures is presented. Graph
Italy theory permits to dscribe gas networks as undirected multigraphs. Two performance
measures of the functional degradation are considered. An application of the
proposed approach to evaluate the gas medium pressure network of the city of
Genoa is reported.

Neustadt, Austria Technology. Renovation and renewal of gas pipelines is a subject, which has gained
increasing importance during the last 15-20 years. The trenchless technology for gas
pipe renovation and renewal can be chep, because a considerable time saving
develops during construction. In addition there can be gained a protection of nature
and environment as well as the interest of local inhabitants can be taken into account,
extensively. In this paper there is presented an analysis of efficiency at the
renovation and renewal of gas pipelines.

Italgas, the main Italian gas distribution company, in addition to slip-lining and close-fit
relining (the last one particularly suitable for low-pressure applications), is
experiencing directional drilling in large-scale applications (i.e. pipe laying over long
distances). In the paper both experiences are presented, with technical and
economical comments: strong and critical aspects, ancillary technologies, future

integrity assessment and utility location mapping. Conventional geophysical and NDT
survey techniques frequently yield ambigous data that cannot always be accurately
interpreted. In some instances background noise and interference can completely
obscure the desired structural or geotechnical information. RSG has established mul
disciplinary strategies tailored to overcome such problems. In addition RSG has
developed new techniques by modifying traditional, tried and proven geophysical and
NDT equipment enabling acquisition of previously undetectable ground or structural
data. The improvements are in data processing as well as in operation improvements
of the units used. Case studies and examples are used to illustrate the versatility of
the available techniques.

Teodor Iftimie, Tunnelling Technology technique for installing underground pipeline through a bore created by a shield
Bucharest, Romania machine, which is hydraulically jacked from a drive shaft. This technology was
Mircea Sofian
developed in the United States over 50 years ago. Since that time, the advantages of
this method have been recognised by the entire world. The pipe jacking technology
has been used in the most various applications: - roads, railways, rivers, buildings or
canals undercrossings: - new sewerage and drainage construction; - sewer
replacement and relining; - oil pipelines, gas and water mains, culverts; - electricity
and telecommunications cable installation. Among these applications can be also
included the reconstruction of the old buried little bridges. This kind of application was
also used in the USA at the beginning of this technique but with the removal of the
emplacement. The renewal of the old buried little bridges in their emplacements was
used with success on the Romanian railway network. Over 15 little bridges were
reconstructed in the most various conditions in the last years.
9929 Jon Rostum, Predictive Service-Life Models used for Water
Trondheim, Norway Network Management Predictive Service-Life Models used for Water Network Management. An important
Professor Wolfgang step towards optimum maintenance plans for water pipes is the development of
Schilling reliable models for predicting future renewal requirements for each individual pipe in
the water network. One of the challenges is to come up with reliable values for the
expected number of future breaks for each pipe. In this paper a comparison between
a Proportional Hazards Model and a Non Homogeneous Poisson Process is made.
A case study is carried out for the water supply network of Trondheim, Norway. A
brief introduction to the different methodologies is given and it is shown how the
results from these predictive models can be integrated in Maintenance Decisions
Systems (MDS).

Sawaguchi for solving labor, environment and other problems traditionally associated with conduit
construction. However, due to the expanding of the range of NO-DIG application,
driving over sharp curves, near buried objects or in areas where the soil quality
changes markedly requires the high level operation skills of expert operators.
Operator support system utilizing multimedia communication which had been
developed at this time presents analyzing current driving conditions, predicting future
conditions and suggesting the optimum operation based on the database information.
We simply expressed the compound relation by modelling these driving datum, and
stored in the database. As a result, interactive operator support can fit to a variety of
construction sit , because this system can bring database algorithm close to skilled
operators' knowledge and thinking, and aim to prevent the construction trouble and
achieve highly accurate and efficient construction.

Budapest, Hungary Field of Trenchless Reconstruction Reconstruction. Following the pattern of many European metropolises, also the
municipality of Budapest recognized the need for developing a well-designed sewer
network at the end of the 19th century. The good start was followed by continuous
extension of the network. The materials and pipe sizes and profiles were
characteristic of each phase of further development, enhancing complexity of the
tasks we face nowadays. At the end of the past century, sewers were built of channel
bricks while monolith concrete tubes dominated in the thirties (several paragraphs

Gabor Nagy Materials used to realize human inventions are always characteristic of the
contemporary culture and influence its further evolution. Materials nowadays are not
any more the results of accidental discoveries but are being developed in
accordance with the application requirements and manufacturing tools. This is true
for both inorganic and organic materials. The main driving force for the development
of a new material is not so much the replacement of an older structural material, but
the creation and selection of a new one specified by the application, therefore it is
directly adapted to the processing technology. Advanced composites offer this
possibility for NO-DIG technologies.

Hungary for the Reconstruction of Water Pipelines Pipelines. More and more operators and contractors believe that the installation of
modern materials should be combined with using more economical and more
efficient, no-dig technologies. Pipe bursting is currently the only trenchless
reconstruction technology in the world which enables the significant increase of pipe
diameters in the reconstruction of supply networks. After considering several
technical solutions, our company, Hungarian Waterworks Construction Ltd., (Magyar
Vizugyi Kivitelezesi Kft. - MVK) was the first in Hungary to apply the hydraulic pipe
bursting technology in 1998. CLEARLINE Services supplied the equipment
necessary for use of the technology. The use of the pipe bursting technique was first
introduced in the UK thanks to British Gas, who applied it first of all in gas network
reconstruction. So far in Hungary the technology has only been used for
reconstructing waterworks which probably remains the main area of appliction of this
technique, because in Hungary it is predominantly steel pipes that are used in gas su

crossing was to restore the broken telephone connection between the Lido degli
Estensi and Porto Garibaldi areas of Ferrara. M.T. Microtunnelling's intervention was
an alternative solution to the initial project which was to provide a 3km long
underground installation along the 2 banks of the canal and along the bridge over the
main road that connects the 2 banks at the valley. With respect to the original project,
the use of No Dig solutions allows a reduction of more than 25% of the total expense.
9936 Michel Langenfeld, Ductile Iron Pipes for Trenchless Laying Techniques Ductile Iron Pipes for Trenchless Laying Techniques. Trenchless laying techniques
Nancy, France become increasingly popular in western countries. The main reasons for this trend
are: * the need of renewing the existing old urban waternetworks, which are in service
since more than 50-100 years, and have to be replaced in very congested areas *
the disturbance or the interruption of the traffic due to the laying of pipes with
traditional open-trench techniques, which are less and less accepted *the fact that
trenchless laying techniques have significantly improved in the last few years, in
terms of reliability, availability and economics. If we consider the trenchless laying of
pipes for the public water distribution, there are basically two types of techniques: *th
horizontal - or guided-drilling for installing new pipes * the place for place replacement
of existing pipes and, for example, the pipe bursting method applicable for the
replacement of old grey iron pipes. The pipes which are traditionally used with these
techniques are the PE pipes, essentially because: * these techniques have been
developed for the laying of buried cables, which are similar to small PE pipes * weld

Roberto Bergamino and to the vehicular ciruclation, in addition to costs and unforeseen events that may
rise if the intervention is performed in a historical urban centre or in a hard populated
one. An alternative solution is to use trenchless technologies that allow, where it's
possible, to renew gas and water systems already present in the subsoil. The
advantage that this type of alternative solution involves is a real improvement of the
impact of works on environment and on collectivity, in addition to a reduction of direct
costs of the yard. To compare advantages and disadvantages of the possibilities
above described, an examination of the two different methodologies of working has
been performed.

especially starting from Valle d'Aosta, where its narrow strip of level ground is limited
on the side by high, impervious mountains and is occupied by a set of services (road,
highway, railway, power transmission lines and telecommunications), and last but not
least, by inhabited centres and the flow of the Dora Baltea river. The project-
engineers have faced these difficulties also through the adoption of ad hoc measures
including trenchless technologies already and extensively employed by the ENI Group
for the laying of pipes. The construction of this new pipe is therefore an interesting
example for the use of several trenchless technologies selected according to structur

one or more antennas that are dragged across the ground to be investigated; the
collected data are processed, and then saved and shown on a control unit that also
generates the impulses necessary for the functioning of the antennas. Any objects
present in the soil generate characteristic hyperbola shapes on the radar images (or
radargrams). The electromagnetic properties of the material in which the signals
propagate determine the investigation depth that can be reached: this depth varies
therefore from one site to another. However, since the attenuation due to the ground
is a function of the signal frequency, the use of low frequency antennas allows a
higher penetration of the GPR signals, even if the image resolution decreases. Since

Chiba, Japan the Tonegawa River Co., Ltd., is planning to lay a gas pipe across the Tonegawa river using the jacking
method. It has conducted an advance study of the aseismatic safety of the conduit.
Generally speaking, conduits for the jacking method do not undergo in-depth
investigation, in the judgement that the flexible structure of the jacking (i.e. sheath)
pipe, which has joints every few meters, offers high antiseismicity. The author's group
made a simple analysis based on the seismic resistance design standards, and
checked the results for the amount of joint extraction, joint flexural angle, and the
degree of pipe compression stress especially in the event of a Level 2 seismic
motion affecting the jacking pipe. The area in question has a typical irregular ground,
and it was estimated that assessment of propagative seismic waves would be
insufficient if based on simple analysis alone. As such, the group also made a
dynamic response analysis that employed the vertical ascending wave as the imput
seismic motion.

faulty or leaking underground sewers are known to everyone. A considerable part of
the sewerage system is damaged or coroded so seriously that 15 to 25 per cent of
the sewage exfiltrates through the cracks and holes into the soil causing considerabl
pollution in the vicinity and eroding caverns around the pipe which, in turn, result in
breach of the road or cracking of buildings. The traditional way of repair, rehabilitation
and renovation of the sewage network is an extremely cumbersome, expensive and
time-consuming job which frequently requires installation of roadblocks and diversion

year of R&D work had been going on, developing the already known water glass -
MDI systems. For the 2P (traditional poli-silicic-acid - poly-iso-cyanate) systems well
functioning but very active polyurethane catalysts were used. These traditional
catalysts were suitable to produce rapid systems having a pot life (i.e. workability
time) of under 5 minutes. By means of new catalysts the pot life can be adjusted
between some minutes and 2 to 3 hours. The name of new catalyst family begins als
with P, this is why these systems are called 3P resins, having been patented by the
Polinvent Ltd [1]. The reason of that was that, from 1991, the R&D activity begun at
the Budapest Technical University was continued at the Polinvent Ltd established not
much earlier. In the frames of the 3P Resin Days 1998 several papers were
published and discussed, summarizing the properties, the application possibilities an

and infiltration. This paper considers the use of Sanipor chemical sewer rehabilitation
system to resolve problems faced in infiltrating quick sand situations. The first step in
trenchless sewer rehabilitation is always the cleaning of the pipe with high pressure
jet. Unfortunately it is quite frequently experienced that when the sand is pulled down
by the jet even more sand comes in through the defects. The presence of sand
makes both relining and local injection impossible to manage. The highly viscous S1
solution of the Sanipor flood grouting system assists to resolve the problem. The
paper reports the benefits of the system used many times in Berlin to seal sewers
suffering from quick sand problems.

got gradually contaminated by ferrous-manganese and nitrate. This water is fed into
the network directly. Owing to this, a more excessive secondary contamination has
developed in the interior wall of the pressure pipes but - more important - in the
interior of the distribution network. The gradually increasing and continuously
segregating ferrous and manganese deposit not only reduces the cross section of
the pipes gradually, but it also gathers the ferrous-manganese precipitation still
floating in the water. Thus, the deposit in the pipe still keeps fattening, gets even
thicker. Then at changes in the operating conditions (pipe burst, sectioning out of
conduits, etc.) easily gets loose and together with the flow the contamination is
passed to the consumer causing water quality, water meter operation and substantial
cost problems both to the user and to the Water Works.
