Economical optimisation in pipe construction using trenchless technologies in combination with geophysical methods

Abstract

Pipes are planned and constructed under strong economical conditions. Trenchless pipe construction becomes more and more an effective alternative to conventional constructions. This is not only limited to building sites which are difficult to manage because of traffic, rivers etc. Nowadays it is also attractive for local pipe networks in cityareas where conventional installations are realizable from the technical point of view but would loose from the economical point of view in comparison with the trenchless construction.
