2 AMIJACK Jacking Pipes
AMIJACK jacking pipes are GRP pipes manufactured
in a centrifugal casting process in high speed rotating
moulds. They are made of polyester resin, glass
fibre and silica sand. The pipes are designed for the
construction and renovation of underground pipelines
using trenchless methods. The pipes feature high ring
stiffness and a coupling design in which the outer
diameter is similar to the outer pipe diameter.
The AMIJACK product range consists of the
following products:
• Standard jacking pipes
• Jacking pipes with injection nozzles
• Jacking pipes for intermediate jacking stations
!
• Relining pipes
N
• Fittings based on AMIJACK pipes (elbows,
O
T-pipes, branches, reducers, connectors for
embedding, manholes)
TI• Special, tailored fittings
LU
Jacking technology is the major application for
centrifugally cast GRP pipes. The AMIJACK pipe
design offers outstanding product advantages, which
are important in jacking technologies. It makes this
pipe system the ideal solution for such projects and
offers added value to customers at competitive prices.
2.1 Applications
AMIJACK pipes are used in pipeline construction for
the transport and storage of water, rainwater, sewage
and industrial wastewater. The following trenchless
techniques are used in AMIJACK pipe installation:
• Microtunneling with drilling and hydraulic or
pneumatic spoil removal
• Hydraulic jacking with remote control drilling
• Burst lining
• Pipe eating
AMIJACK pipes can be installed in straight or
curved sections in vertical or horizontal positions.
The construction methods are suitable for both
cohesive and non-cohesive soils in dry conditions or
high water table conditions. Excavation techniques
are also available for jacking through rock, boulders or
mixed ground conditions. Pipe jacking is primarily used
for:
• Construction of new sewer pipelines
• Old sewer replacements

Manufacturing

• Construction of channels as protective tubes for gas

pipelines, heating pipelines, etc.

• Road and technology culverts in transport

engineering

• Electricity and telecommunication cable ducts in

urban areas or areas with groundwater restrictions

• Relining

The AMIJACK manufacturing process consists of

the raw materials being fed into the rotating mould in
specified amounts in order to form a layered composite

!
structure with a compact construction. The raw

N
materials are precisely metered by the special feeder
which adds the various materials in accordance with

O
the design formula of the pipe being produced. The
pipes are made of the following basic raw materials:
TI • Polyester resin
LU
• Chopped E or E-CR glass

• Silica sand additives

O

After feeding all the raw materials, the rotating speed

ES

of the mould is increased. This ensures compaction of

the pipe composition under pressures of up to 70 bar
which results in an extremely smooth inside and outside
R

surface on the pipe. The components are cross-linked

as a result of heating the mould. This causes hardening
of the material and provides the required mechanical
W

properties. After curing, the pipe is removed from the

mould and transported to the finishing area for cutting,

machining and coupling assembly.

6 Jacking Methods
6.1 Microtunneling
Trenchless pipeline construction using the
microtunelling method involves using a drill head to
tunnel, with the simultaneous installation of leader pipes.
The construction of a pipeline using this technology
takes place from the starting shaft to the target shaft.
After establishing the starting shaft, a remote-controlled
jacking head is placed at the bottom and pressed into
the surrounding soil. The seal ring mounted on the
chamber wall prevents ground water and soil from
getting inside it. Jacking forces are generated by a
hydraulic jacking station with powerful jacking cylinders
and a pressure ring that pushes the drilling machine
deep into the soil following the direction and slope of
the target pipeline. In the next stage, the drilling head is
pushed by jacking pipes which transfer pressure forces
from the jacking station to the microtunnelling machine.
Pipes are lowered to the bottom of the starting shaft
and installed one by one behind the jacking machine.
Soil is continuously excavated by a cutting tool
mounted on a rotating disc and transported hydraulically
through slurry lines to the surface of the site into a
sedimentation tank. The water is separated from the
soil and pumped back through supply pipes into the
excavation and crushing chamber of the drill head.

The hydraulic soil transport system operates as a
closed loop and allows rapid progress of the pipeline
construction work.
Other methods for the excavation and transportation
of soil include using mini excavators on the forehead,
spiral conveyors or a shuttle train on the track.
A gyro or laser guidance system ensures accurate
targeting of the receiving shaft with the drill head.
The drilling machine is controlled by an operator in
a control container on the surface near the starting
shaft. Numerous sensors and devices send all the
data necessary for the operator to control the drilling
head according to the planned pipeline axis. During
drilling and pipe installation, the jacking force value is
recorded, so as not to exceed the maximum allowable
!
jacking force for the pipes.
N
In order not to exceed the jacking forces during the
O
installation of pipes over a long distance, mounted
intermediate jacking stations push a specified length of
TI
the assembled pipeline. They are installed and pushed
in a manner similar to the pipe jacking. In order to
LU
minimise installation costs, these stations are located,
wherever possible, in areas where manholes are
planned after completion of the pipeline.
7
6.2 Pilot Pipe Jacking
The technology of jacking with pilot drilling involves
constructing the pipeline in several stages between the
starting shaft and the target shaft. In the starting shaft,
a hydraulic jacking machine with the specified capacity
is placed and adapted to the given range of pipe
diameters being installed.

The first step is to perform a pilot boring using a pilot

rod which is pushed into the soil, compacting it around
the hole being formed. Drilling is carried out from the
STAGE I – Pilot boring starting shaft to the target shaft with high accuracy,
thanks to a tele-optic system inside the head and its
location system.

The second step is to drill the hole with a reamer or

!
a multi-blade head mounted on the last pilot rod. The

N
reamer is pushed into the ground using reusable steel
pipes, which are installed behind it and at the same

O
time it pushes out the pilot rod in the target shaft. Soil,
transported through front holes in the reamer into the
TIsteel pipe, is conveyed to the starting shaft using a
spiral conveyor moving inside the pipe. After the steel
LU
STAGE II – Reaming boring and jacking of temporary pipes reach the target shaft, the spiral conveyor is

The third stage involves pushing the temporary steel

pipes into the target shaft by pressing the AMIJACK

pipes into place. The pipeline construction is completed

7.1 Pipes GR coupling – GRP sleeve made of polyester resin

The pipe product range for trenchless applications is
classified according to the following parameters:
• Outer diameter (mm)
reinforced with fibreglass. The inner surface of the
sleeve fits tightly to the wedge seal made of EPDM,
SBR or NBR embedded into a special groove on the
pipe spigot. The GR coupling is predominantly used for
larger pipe diameters (DA ≥ 1000).

AMIJACK GRP pipes are generally connected

using couplings. A standard AMIJACK jacking
pipe is equipped with a coupling pushed onto one
R

of the spigots. Couplings for jacking pipes have an

outer diameter equal to the outer diameter of the
jacking pipes, so that the resulting connections do not

solution makes it possible to use AMIJACK pipes

in trenchless applications. Depending on the intended

use, couplings are available in different types, pipe
diameters and pressure classes. The coupling seals are
made of elastomeric materials and meet EN 681-1 and
ASTM F-477 standards.

FJ coupling – the design of this coupling is adapted

elastomeric seal over the entire width. Several types of
steel are available, adapted to the operating conditions.
The seal is made of EPDM. However, SBR or NBR seals

for pressure applications. The coupling is equipped
with REKA seals, also used for connecting standard
GRP pressure pipes installed in an open trench. This
solution is proposed for pressure jacking applications
not exceeding 6 bar. The suitability of the FJ coupling
should always be discussed with the manufacturer.

7.3 Jacking Pipes for intermediate Stations
Where the overall jacking length is too long and/
or the allowable jacking force is too small, so called
intermediate stations are used, which are installed along
with special jacking pipes (leader pipe and trailer pipe).
These special jacking pipes allow reciprocal movements
of the station, generated by ejecting hydraulic cylinders
that are installed circumferentially between the two
pressure rings. The intermediate station is schematically
illustrated in Figure 7-3-1.

8 Transport and Storage 9 Technical Support

AMIJACK GRP pipes are supplied to many countries
around the world. Our logistics experts cooperate
closely with the best transport companies to develop
the best form of pipe transport directly to construction
sites. Pipes are generally supplied by trucks as a single
load or nested set. Pipe transport is also possible by
sea and rail. The finished pipes are factory-equipped
with couplings, seals, wooden spacers (if necessary),
a defined amount of anti-adhesive agent and other
details that are agreed with the customer at the bidding
stage. The pipes need to be stored in a position and at
conditions defined by the manufacturing site. Handling
requires belts or plastic straps to be attached around
the pipes.
Engineers from the pipe manufacturer and supplier offer
a wide range of services related to:
• technical advice in the investment planning phase,
• static structural analysis,
• hydraulic calculations,
• selection of the proper pipe parameters and raw
materials,
• drawings and diagrams of pipes, manholes and
fittings,

• technical advice for contractors during installation,

!
• solutions for special applications.
