Abstract (en)

[origin: US2008247826A1] In a method for the trenchless laying of pipes, a drilling operation ( 5 ) is firstly carried out by means of controlled heading from a starting point ( 1 ) to a finishing point ( 6 ). Then the drilling head ( 3 ) is disconnected from the heading pipes ( 4 ) and the heading pipe run is connected by means of a special connecting pipe to the product pipe run ( 9 ), which is prefabricated above ground at the finishing point ( 6 ). Subsequently, the heading pipes ( 4 ) are drawn back from the drill hole to the starting point ( 1 ), the product pipe run ( 9 ) simultaneously being drawn into the drill hole. The method is suitable in particular for laying large-caliber, tension-resistant pressure pipelines (for example of steel or polyethylene) in soils that are not suitable, or only with reservations, for other laying methods (for example gravels, crushed stones, rock).
