Extensive Pipe Jacking Experience
With the ability to jack concrete pipes ranging in diameter from 36 inches to 120 inches, Capitol Tunneling brings a great deal of pipe jacking experience to any project. Whether it is steel casing, RCP, PCCP, VCP, or FRPPFP, Capitol Tunneling crews have the equipment and knowledge to deliver a successful pipe jacking project.
Pipe Jacking has taken on several different meanings over the past decades. Whereas conventional tunneling or auger boring methods are frequently considered preferred installation methods, occasionally the project needs require the trenchless installation to be performed using Pipe Jacking. With the evolution of materials and the constantly changing equipment technologies, various pipe materials ranging in size from 8” up to 120” can be direct jacked.
Recently, our crews completed the first ever RCP box culvert installation in Dayton Ohio utilizing specially modified pipe jacking equipment. Because of the required cross section flow area, and because of low overhead clearance under existing utilities, the only choice was to direct jack the concrete box culvert in place of a larger diameter concrete pipe. Our crews were able to complete this working 24 hours per day in 8 days with no issues during installation. Yet another successful installation that was on line…on grade…and on time.
