PIPE ROOFING SYSTEM & CASING SYSTEM

PIPE ROOFING SYSTEM

Pipe Roofing System is a support system used in loose ground conditions in conventional and mechanized tunneling. It is used to enhance ground properties to stabilize and reduce risk in tunnel works. It is a method of supporting tunnel by driving pipes ahead of excavation. It is also used in developing the portal sections.

JB Rebar Couplers are used for joining rebars with full tension capacity. The ends of bars to be joined are provided with threads, and the bars are joined using a coupler sleeve that transfers the force on the rebar across the connection.

PIPE ROOFING COMPONENTS

  • Starter Pipe: First Pipe Welded with Ring Bit on one end & female threading on other end, which can be perforated / non- perforated as per the design requirement.
  • Extension Pipe: Male – Female threaded pipe for extension, which can be perforated / nonperforated as per the design requirement.
  • Pilot Bit
  • Drill Rods
  • Grout Plugs / Injection Cap

THE INSTALLATION OF THE PIPE ROOF SYSTEM IS SIMPLE AND QUICK AND HAS THE FOLLOWING EFFECTS.
  • Reducing the ground loss by creating a boundary of stiff material between the soil and tunnel crore.
  • Stabilizing the ground in the area of newly excavated and get unsupported excavation round.
  • Distributing loads acting upon the tunnel roof above the freshly excavated round into the in-site ground ahead of the face and the lined tunnel behind the face.
  • Confinement of the tunnel excavation area ahead of the tunnel face.
  • Enhancing tunnel face stability by reducing loads acting upon the tunnel face.
  • Reducing surface settlement.
