Description

The Direct Pipe Laying Machine by CRCHI is an innovative solution for trenchless construction, designed to optimize the process of excavation and pipeline installation. This advanced machinery allows for simultaneous excavation and pipeline laying, making it an ideal choice for constructing small diameter water diversion tunnels, water drainage tunnels, and oil pipelines. The machine operates using a slurry pressure balance system, effectively supporting the excavation process while maintaining a high level of safety and efficiency.

With its unique design, the direct pipe laying machine features a tunnel boring machine coupled with a pipe thruster. The tail end of the machine is welded to the pipeline, allowing for extensive pre-laying before excavation begins. As the machine progresses, it jacks the pipeline into the ground, eliminating the need for separate pipe installation during operation. This dual-functionality ensures that once excavation is complete, the pipe laying process is also finalized.

Notable features include high construction efficiency, safety through reduced ground settlement, quality pipeline laying with protective thrust technology, cost-effectiveness by combining excavation and laying in one step, and adaptability to various geological conditions due to interchangeable cutterheads.
