PERFORMANCE REVIEW OF A PIPE JACKING PROJECT IN HONG KONG (2009)
The pipe jacking method is commonly used in Hong Kong for construction of underground cable duct crossings and stormwater drains. The method minimizes the disturbance to or interference with the activities and facilities on the ground surface. In this paper, details of a pipe jacking project completed recently in Hong Kong, involving use of a pressurized slurry tunnel boring machine to form a 222m long, 1.95m diameter cable tunnel, are described. Results of the performance review carried out on completion of the project are also presented.
