MTBM Intermediate Jacking Stations
Microtunneling Intermediate Jacking Stations (IJSs) are inserted in the tunnel string at appropriate intervals to distribute thrust loads to facilitate longer drives. IJSs are custom‐fabricated to match a project’s exact pipe outside diameter.
Microtunneling IJSs are sealed to prevent intrusion of ground in the tunnel. They comprise a nonrecoverable steel housing with multiple ram segments, each exerts additional thrust, and are positioned on the steel housing interior ring.
The MTBM operator controls the IJS function from the control container console.
FEATURES:
- Used to extend drive length by distributing thrust load for longer drives.
- Sealed to prevent ground intrusion into the tunnel.
- Non‑recoverable steel housing with multiple ram segments, each exerting 60 tons of thrust.
- Customized to match the outside diameter of the project pipe.
- Configurable with custom cylinder options.
- Custom designed for various types of jacking pipe.
- Allows pipe string flexibility on curved alignments.
Testimonials
We do not own or use any pipe jacking equipment other than Akkerman. Their equipment has been used to jack RCP pipe, Hobas pipe & Steel casing from lengths as short as 50LF to distances up to 1000LF. From diameters starting at 42″ ID up to 108″ ID US
Not all of our work is constructed trouble free. Akkerman has always helped us through any issue we may have and treated us fairly. We have been impressed with Akkerman’s growth over the years and have long term friends there as well.
