FIELD: transport. ^ SUBSTANCE: pipeline to be replaced is axially moved by a pusher-pipe on to its end face surface. The tunnel shield is used to excavate soil of this section with a simultaneous pushing the old pipe out and forming a space with diameter corresponding to the new pipe diameter. Then, a new pipeline is laid in place. ^ EFFECT: higher efficiency of large-diameter pipeline replacement jobs. ^ 2 dwg |
