Pipe Jacking alignment accuracy is managed by assessing a laser target bolt’s position on the cutter head, at the centerline of the pipe. The laser is initiated from the pipe laser in the Laser Light Stand behind the jacking frame or pump unit in the launch shaft.
To check the alignment between haul unit transport cycles, the TBM or EBS operator lowers the conveyor to expose the target bolt laser beam. Frequent laser checks will result in fewer steering adjustments. Note, TBM and EBS roll is adjusted by engaging the torque/dirt wings.
The Laser Light Stand features an adjustable frame to position the laser down the centerline of the pipe. The laser box assembly is lockable to prevent tampering with the laser when not in operation.
