Today the method of trenchless installation makes it possible to install cables and pipes for a safe supply of water, gas, district heating, electricity and telecommunication and for the ecological disposal of wastewater, irrespective of pipe diameter or the geological or hydro-geological limiting conditions. The results are summarized in a glossary in the Appendix. This invaluable reference presents differences in terminology, literature and practice as well as different national and international standards and regulations of the most important terms and designations for all areas of trenchless installation and to formulate proposals and additions for unified or missing definitions. Fantastic guide for the design of trenchless technology installations.Extensive discussion of geotechnical considerations.“A rare jewel!” Reported by German Prof., Dr. Ray Sterling, Director of the Trenchless Technology Center, Louisiana Tech University Trenchless installation of cables and pipelines has achieved a very high level of technology due to the constant further development of machine and method technology and this makes possible the installation of almost all types of supply and disposal lines (utilities) independent of their nominal size or their external diameter or the geological and hydrogeological limiting conditions in an ecologically friendly and enclosed method of underground construction. In the presentation of each method, besides the description of methods of operation and sequence as well as equipment, value was placed especially on the areas of application and limitations of use according to the latest knowledge. This book comprehensively explains the wide range of trenchless techniques. collection and discharge of waste water is a necessary precondition for the functionality of a community and urban development. Efficient networks of pipelines and cables that provide a secure supply of water, gas, district heating, electricity and telecommunication as well as ecologically friendly and secure drain and sewer system, i.e.
