Unbalance development of pipe jacking construction technology in China

Pipe jacking construction technology of the unbalanced development between cities and in the sea, Beijing, Guangzhou and other big cities technical level is higher, the application is common, but the application in small and medium-sized cities, the city in the Midwest used less.

In the same city development is not balanced, according to the Guangzhou city construction committee in 2004 to the present situation of Guangzhou pipe jacking the investigation found that the city’s uneven pipe jacking technology development, the mechanization of pipe jacking construction is not a lot. Hand dug type pipe jacking still accounts for the largest proportion, the pipe jacking construction technology adoption is not active, often is not top of pipe laying, is considered to be unable to the excavation of the helpless.

Different construction enterprise construction level is not balance, some are still at the stage of primitive, there are also some failure of engineering, hindered the promotion of pipe jacking technology development objectively.

Another factor influence the pipe jacking technology application, industry standardization is not enough, there are peers low the phenomenon of vicious competition, lack of professional talent. Existing workers are mostly engaged in general civil engineering construction in the transformation, the lack of professional training. In the future still need to strengthen management, and strive to popularize advanced technology, improve the level of the construction and improvement of pipe jacking construction technology.
