Jacking Pipe (Trenchless)
Proven Performance for Trenchless Applications
One of the most widely used jacking products in the world, reinforced concrete pipe provides the reliability of a tried and tested product with the trust of a resilient composite material designed for pipe jacking and microtunneling applications. Thompson pipe group manufacture two classes of reinforced concrete jacking pipe. One for Microtunneling and one for pipe jacking above the ground water table. The thick walled pipes have ample jacking capacity for long drives and can be designed to accommodate intermediate jacking stations. For specialized microtunneling operations a well designed wetcast reinforced concrete microtunneling pipe by Thompson Pipe Group provide smooth pipe and water tight joints required for tunneling under the water table. Thompson Pipe Group also manufactures and supplies FRP Jacking Pipe, Flowcrete Jacking Pipe, C300 Jacking Pipe, Meyer Polycrete Jacking Pipe, and steel jacking pipe. For more details, review the Jacking Guide.
Advantages:
- Strict manufacturing standards ensure consistency and reliability.
- Computer-controlled batching delivers uniform mix designs.
- Engineered for high structural integrity for demanding applications.
- Flush Joint System Joint facilitates smooth tunneling through soil and minimizes resistance during installation.
- Custom mix designs allow for increased jacking forces, enabling longer and more challenging drives.
- Corrosion Resistance: Can be manufactured with corrosion-resistant liners, including structural FRP options like Flowcrete™ or non structural HDPE or PVC liners
- Maintains roundness and alignment under axial loads, critical for trenchless installations.
- Thick wall design supports curved drives and resists deflection, abrasion, and external pressures.
- Less buoyant than steel or FRP pipe, reducing flotation risk in high groundwater conditions.
- Watertight and ideal for microtunneling below the water table, with joint systems designed to prevent infiltration.
- Standard Compliance: Meets ASTM and AWWA standards for structural performance and long-term reliability.
Typical Jacking Pipe Applications
- Water supply and distribution pipelines
- Wastewater systems – sanitary and stormwater sewer
- Underground Utility Networks – conduit for telecommunications, electricity, and fiber optic cables
- Crossing beneath railroads
- Sub-aquatic
