Investigation Techniques: Pipe Jacking in Complex Geology

Abstract

For the design of any buried infrastructure such as pipelines, it is crucial for investigations to be conducted. Such investigations include subsurface exploration, in situ field testing, and laboratory tests. These findings will back up the geological setting and other underground data gathered. During the planning stage, it is important to have these data available for interpretation. That way, the data can be useful and reliable for the final design.
