JSW’s Pipe Jacking Service for Long-Distance Pipeline Crossings
Technical Capabilities of JSW’s Pipe Jacking Equipment
JSW’s pipe jacking service uses hydraulic jacking frames and tunnel boring machines to install prefabricated steel pipe sections from a launch shaft to a reception shaft. The system operates remotely from the surface, allowing JSW’s operators to monitor and adjust steering, alignment, and excavation rates in real time. For oil and gas applications, JSW welds steel pipe on the surface, lowers sections into the shaft, and jacks forward in continuous sequences.
| Technical Parameter | JSW’s Capability | Oil & Gas Application |
|---|---|---|
| Pipe Diameter | 200 mm to 3,000 mm | 8-inch to 48-inch crude and gas lines |
| Single Drive Length | Up to 800 meters | Intermediate jacking stations for extended range |
| Ground Conditions | Soft clay to hard rock | Rock cutting tools for hard formations |
| Pipe Materials | Steel with FBE coating | Fusion-bonded epoxy for corrosion protection |
| Accuracy Tolerance | ±15 mm over 500 meters | Suitable for high-pressure transmission lines |
JSW Project Application: Pipe Jacking for Gas Pipeline Under Active Railroad
JWS completed a 24-inch natural gas pipeline installation beneath an active Class 1 railroad crossing using pipe jacking. The crossing length was 180 meters through mixed clay and sandstone. JSW’s tunnel boring machine equipped with disc cutters advanced at 12 meters per day. The installation was completed in 14 days with ±15 mm accuracy and zero railroad disruption. No track settlement was recorded during or after the jacking operation.
When JSW Recommends Pipe Jacking
JSW recommends pipe jacking for the following oil and gas scenarios:
Crossings under active railroads, highways, and rivers where surface disruption is not permitted
Installations requiring high-precision alignment for high-pressure transmission lines
Projects with large diameter pipe (24 inches and above)
Ground conditions including rock, cobble, or mixed soils where other methods cannot perform
Long-distance drives exceeding 100 meters where multiple intermediate jacking stations provide staging flexibility
Limitations JSW Communicates to Clients
Pipe jacking requires launch and reception shafts with adequate workspace. Large diameter shafts may need 15 x 30 meter working areas at each end. High groundwater conditions require closed-face boring machines that add 15-25% to equipment costs. For drives shorter than 50 meters, JSW may recommend pipe ramming or open-cut as more cost-effective alternatives.
JSW’s Pipe Ramming Service for Short Casing Installations
Technical Capabilities of JSW’s Pipe Ramming Equipment
JSW’s pipe ramming service uses a compressed air hammer mounted directly on the pipe end to drive open-ended steel casing through the ground at high velocity, typically 30-50 blows per minute. Unlike pipe jacking’s continuous pushing action, ramming relies on impact energy to displace soil around the casing. JSW deploys this method for short crossings where speed and simplicity outweigh precision requirements. The method is classified as a displacement technique rather than an excavation technique.
| Technical Parameter | JSW’s Capability | Oil & Gas Application |
|---|---|---|
| Casing Diameter | 200 mm to 1,800 mm | 8-inch to 60-inch steel casing |
| Drive Length | 10 meters to 50 meters | Single drive without intermediate pits |
| Ground Conditions | Gravel, sand, silt, clay | Non-cohesive, granular soils preferred |
| Compressor Capacity | 900-1,600 cfm at 125 psi | Two compressors for larger diameters |
| Installation Speed | 1-2 meters per hour | Complete crossing in 4-8 hours |
JSW Project Application: Pipe Ramming for Oil Pipeline Casing Under County Road
JSW installed a 36-inch steel casing under a two-lane county road for a 16-inch crude oil pipeline. The crossing length was 30 meters through sandy gravel. JSW mobilized a 1,200 cfm compressor and pneumatic hammer. The casing was driven to depth in 6 hours. The carrier pipe was slid through the casing the following day. Road closure was limited to 4 hours. Surface restoration was not required beyond the access pit locations.
When JSW Recommends Pipe Ramming
JSW recommends pipe ramming for the following oil and gas scenarios:
Road and railroad crossings under 50 meters in length
Casing installation where carrier pipe requires protection from vehicle loads
Gravel, sand, or other non-cohesive soil conditions
Projects requiring rapid mobilization and demobilization (1-2 day total duration)
Budget-constrained short crossings where HDD or pipe jacking would be over-specified
Limitations JSW Communicates to Clients
Pipe ramming has lower accuracy than pipe jacking, with typical tolerances of ±200 mm over 50 meters. The method is not recommended for rock, dense clay, or cobble where impact energy may damage the casing. JSW does not use pipe ramming for finished carrier pipe installation; the method installs casing only. The product pipe must be inserted after ramming is complete.
Need a rapid casing installation for a short crossing? JSW can mobilize pipe ramming equipment within 48 hours.
JSW’s Pipe Bursting Service for Pipeline Capacity Expansion
Technical Capabilities of JSW’s Pipe Bursting Equipment
JSW’s pipe bursting service fractures an existing pipe from the inside using an expanding bursting head while simultaneously pulling a new HDPE or steel pipe of equal or larger diameter into the void. The old pipe fragments are displaced radially outward into the surrounding soil, eliminating the need to remove debris to the surface. For oil and gas operators, JSW replaces corroded or undersized lines without shutting down surface operations or excavating the existing alignment.
| Technical Parameter | JSW’s Capability | Oil & Gas Application |
|---|---|---|
| Existing Pipe Diameter | 100 mm to 600 mm | 4-inch to 24-inch cast iron, clay, concrete, steel |
| New Pipe Diameter | Same or up to 2 sizes larger | 4-inch to 12-inch upsizing capacity |
| Bursting Length | 100 meters to 500 meters | Intermediate pull holes for longer runs |
| New Pipe Materials | HDPE (preferred), steel | HDPE for corrosion resistance, steel for pressure |
| Ground Conditions | Compressible soils only | Avoid rock, dense clay, or cobble |
JSW Project Application: Pipe Bursting for Oil Gathering Line Upsizing
JSW completed a pipe bursting project for a 6-inch corroded oil gathering line that required upsizing to 8-inch HDPE. The line length was 400 meters through compressible clay soil. JSW’s pneumatic bursting head expanded the existing pipe while pulling the new HDPE liner. The installation was completed in 3 days. The client avoided a 12-week open-cut excavation that would have required crop removal and surface restoration across active agricultural land.
When JSW Recommends Pipe Bursting
JSW recommends pipe bursting for the following oil and gas scenarios:
Replacement of deteriorated cast iron, clay, concrete, or steel pipelines
Upsizing existing lines by one to two pipe diameters without excavation
Projects where surface access is restricted (under buildings, paved areas, sensitive environments)
Pipelines with minimal bends (bursting requires straight or gentle curve alignments)
HDPE installations where corrosion resistance is the primary requirement
Limitations JSW Communicates to Clients
Pipe bursting requires compressible soils (sand, silt, clay with low density). JSW does not recommend bursting in rock, dense clay, cobble, or previously stabilized ground. Existing pipe must be in condition that allows fracturing; severely collapsed or crushed lines may require alternative methods. Bursting lengths exceeding 500 meters require intermediate access pits. JSW performs a pre-burst CCTV inspection to assess existing pipe condition before providing a final recommendation.
Dual-Torque Automatic Welding for High Production
Our dual-torque automatic welding service uses two welding torches operating simultaneously. The leading torch performs the primary weld while the trailing torch provides additional fill or cap passes. This configuration reduces total welding time per joint by up to 40% compared to single-torch systems.
Best suited for: Large-diameter pipelines, thick-wall pipe (up to 50 mm), projects with tight delivery schedules
JSW’s Slip Lining Service for Pipeline Rehabilitation
Technical Capabilities of JSW’s Slip Lining Equipment
JSW’s slip lining service inserts a new HDPE or fiberglass pipe into an existing deteriorated host pipe, then grouts the annular space between the old and new pipes to create a composite structural wall. The new liner carries the internal pressure while the existing pipe provides external support and containment. For oil and gas operators, JSW extends asset life by 50+ years without removing the original pipeline from service for extended periods.
| Technical Parameter | JSW’s Capability | Oil & Gas Application |
|---|---|---|
| Host Pipe Diameter | 150 mm to 1,200 mm | 6-inch to 48-inch transmission and distribution |
| Liner Material | HDPE (standard), FRP (upon request) | HDPE for corrosion resistance |
| Liner Pressure Rating | Up to 250 psi | Natural gas and oil distribution pressures |
| Installation Length | 200 meters to 2,000 meters | Continuous pulls with fusion welding |
| Annular Grout | Cementitious or chemical | Structural bond and corrosion prevention |
JSW Project Application: Slip Lining for High-Pressure Natural Gas Main
JSW rehabilitated a 30-inch high-pressure natural gas main operating at 150 psig. The pipeline crossed beneath a concrete sluiceway with six bends, a diameter reducer, and an in-line valve that could not be removed. JSW developed custom pull-head designs to navigate the bends while maintaining annular space for grout placement. The 24-inch HDPE liner was successfully installed at 850 meters continuous length. The pipeline was restored to service in 18 days. Open-cut replacement would have required 16 weeks and excavation of the sluiceway structure.
When JSW Recommends Slip Lining
JSW recommends slip lining for the following oil and gas scenarios:
Pipelines with wall loss due to corrosion but remaining structural integrity for annular grout support
Lines requiring pressure ratings up to 250 psi
Assets where service interruption must be minimized (liner installed while host pipe remains partially in service)
Pipelines with bends, reducers, or in-line fittings that prevent complete replacement
Projects where surface access is impossible (under buildings, waterways, or protected lands)
Limitations JSW Communicates to Clients
Slip lining reduces internal diameter by 15-25% depending on annular grout thickness. For a 12-inch host pipe, a 10-inch HDPE liner reduces flow capacity approximately 30%. JSW calculates flow impact before recommending slip lining. The method requires access pits at each end of the lined section. Host pipe must be clean and free of debris or severe obstructions. JSW performs a pre-lining CCTV inspection and cleaning pass before mobilization.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sự khác biệt giữa dịch vụ lắp đặt ống bằng phương pháp đẩy ống và dịch vụ lắp đặt ống bằng phương pháp đóng ống của JSW là gì?
Phương pháp đẩy ống bằng thủy lực sử dụng lực thủy lực để đẩy ống một cách chính xác trên quãng đường dài (100–800 mét) với độ chính xác ±15 mm. Phương pháp đóng ống bằng lực va đập sử dụng lực va đập để lắp đặt ống vỏ nhanh chóng trên quãng đường ngắn (10–50 mét) với độ chính xác thấp hơn. JSW khuyến nghị sử dụng phương pháp đẩy ống bằng thủy lực cho các đoạn ống có đường kính lớn, đi qua các khu vực cơ sở hạ tầng nhạy cảm trên quãng đường dài. JSW khuyến nghị sử dụng phương pháp đóng ống bằng lực va đập cho các đoạn ống đi qua đường bộ ngắn, nơi tốc độ là ưu tiên hàng đầu.
JSW có thể áp dụng các phương pháp thi công không đào hào cho các đường ống dẫn khí đốt tự nhiên áp suất cao không?
Đúng vậy. Dịch vụ lắp ống lót trượt bằng ống HDPE của JSW được thiết kế để chịu áp suất lên đến 250 psi trong hệ thống phân phối khí tự nhiên. Đối với các đường ống truyền tải hoạt động ở áp suất cao hơn (500–1.000+ psi), JSW sử dụng ống thép được lắp đặt bằng phương pháp ép ống. JSW đã hoàn thành việc lắp đặt các đường ống khí áp suất cao bằng cả hai phương pháp này.
JSW có thể lắp đặt đường ống ở độ sâu tối đa bao nhiêu khi sử dụng phương pháp không đào rãnh?
Dịch vụ lắp đặt ống bằng phương pháp đẩy ống của JSW có thể thi công đường ống ở độ sâu vượt quá 30 mét dưới mặt đất, chỉ bị giới hạn bởi tính khả thi trong thi công hố giếng. Phương pháp đóng ống thường được thực hiện ở độ sâu từ 2 đến 10 mét. Phương pháp đục vỡ ống tuân theo độ sâu của ống hiện hữu, có thể dao động từ 1 đến 15 mét. Phương pháp lót ống trượt được thực hiện bên trong ống chủ hiện hữu ở độ sâu ban đầu của nó.
