Microtunneling & Jacking Pipe
Reinforced Concrete Microtunneling Pipe
Reinforced concrete microtunneling pipe is made with one or more cages of steel reinforcing bars or wire encased in concrete. The concrete is placed by vertical casting methods. Rubber-gasketed joints may have either steel or concrete bell-and-spigot surfaces.
Reinforced concrete microtunneling pipe is designed for high compressive strength for use in microtunneling or jacking pipe methods.
The pipe is manufactured in sizes ranging from 14 in. (400 mm) to more than 144 in. (3,660 mm) in diameter and is generally made in 10-ft (3.048) through 20-ft laying lengths
