About this document
Pipe Jacking Techniques and Benefits by Joyce Wm Wong is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Pipe jacking is a trenchless method for installing pipes underground using hydraulic jacks from a drive shaft to a reception shaft. The earliest use was in 1910 in the US, with methods like microtunneling developing in the early 1970s in Japan. Common pipe jacking methods in Malaysia include manshield, pressurized slurry, and auger/dry boring. Pipe jacking provides environmental benefits over open-cut construction like reduced carbon emissions and less disturbance to traffic and infrastructure.
