This book includes recommendations prepared by members of the
French Society for Trenchless Technology (FSTT), based on their
recent national multi-year project. Comprehensive guidelines,
techniques and theories in the areas of both microtunneling and
horizontal drilling are given, encompassing the fields of
application for each method, what investigations should be
undertaken, which machines and equipment should be used, how the
work should be managed and potential problems that may arise.
The recommendations, the analytical methods used and their
verification with laboratory and field data should not only improve
the rate of success of trenchless projects, but will also be of
great value to engineers in other countries, who can compare the
results with their own findings and assess the international state
of the art.
