Method Statement Pipe Jacking

The basic Pile Jacking procedure involves: 1. Excavating a driving shaft and setting up a jacking frame with hydraulic jacks aligned to the design line and grade. 2. Lowering a boring machine into the driving shaft equipped with a laser guidance system to ensure proper alignment during drilling. 3. Advancing the boring machine through spoil removal and attaching a jacking push plate to transfer force for advancing pipe segments until the complete line is installed, then removing the machine and equipment.

The basic Pile Jacking procedure is described as follows:

1. Excavate and prepare the driving shaft.


2. Set up the jacking frame and the hydraulic jacks to adjust to the proposed design line
and grade.
3. Install laser guidance system in the driving shaft. When the laser is switched on, the
laser points to the designated position as it is set up. During the drilling operation, the
operator who stays inside the boring machine continuously checks the mark on the
steering head and the laser point. If the operator detects a deviation, the operator will
articulate the steering head back to the correct alignment.
4. Lower the boring machine into the driving shaft and set it up
5. Mate the jacking push plate (thrust ring) to the shield or the TBM. The thrust ring is
the frame that the main cylinders push against to advance the boring head and pipe.
The ring provides a 360-degree surface against the pipe to minimize point pressure
and reduce the chance of breakage (Akkerman Inc. 2002).
6. Advance the shield or the TBM through the prepared opening in the forward shaft
support structure. Begin the excavation and spoil removal process. Continue
excavation, spoil removal, and forward advancement until the shield or the TBM is
installed. The movement of the jacking machine is controlled by the control
panel outside of boring machine, whereas the drilling operation is controlled by the
control levers inside the boring machine.
7. Retract the jacks and push plate to provide a space for the pipe segment.
8. Place the first pipe segment on the jacking tracks. For smooth boring operations, IJSs
can be installed next to the shield or TBM .
9.

Mate the push plate to the pipe and pipe to the shield or the TBM.

10. Initiate forward advancement, excavation, and spoil removal .


11. Repeat pipe jacking cycles until the complete line is installed.
12. Remove the shield or the TBM from reception shaft.
13. Remove the jacking equipment, IJS, and the tracks from drive shaft.
14. Restore the site as required.
