TRENCHLESS TECHNOLOGY PIPING

Overview

Optimize the Engineering, Construction, and Management of Any Trenchless Technology Piping Project

Trenchless Technology Piping is the first detailed guide to pipe installation and renewal using trenchless technology methods. This step-by-step resource explains how to create a more efficient design, construction, and inspection process for trenchless technology piping-and shows how to save time and money with a state-of-the-art project management system.

Packed with illustrations and a range of national and international case studies and examples, the book covers proper planning, contracting, and procuring, installing, and inspecting different pipe materials, and includes testing and acceptance methods, project contract and delivery, and safety issues. This cutting-edge engineering tool also contains vital information on quality control and quality assurance (QC/QA) guidelines. Trenchless Technology Piping features:

• Pre-installation, installation, and post-installation requirements
• Detailed coverage of field and laboratory testing
• Proven methods of project delivery and final inspection
• The latest information on asset management and sustainability of pipeline systems
• Effective procedures for project planning and contract administration
