Pipejacking And Microtunnelling By James Thomson: A Comprehensive Guide to Trenchless Technology

Pipejacking and microtunnelling are two trenchless construction techniques that are used to install pipelines and tunnels with minimal disruption to the surface. These techniques are often used in urban areas where traditional open-cut methods would be impractical or disruptive. Pipejacking involves jacking a pipe through the ground using a hydraulic ram, while microtunnelling involves using a small-diameter tunnel boring machine to excavate the tunnel.

James Thomson's book, Pipejacking And Microtunnelling, is the definitive guide to these trenchless technologies. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the planning, design, and construction of pipelines and tunnels using pipejacking and microtunnelling methods. Thomson covers all aspects of these technologies, from the initial feasibility assessment to the final construction and testing of the pipeline or tunnel.
