Direct Pipe
Direct Pipe: The fast and efficient solution for pipe installation
The method Direct Pipe combina las mejores características de la microtúneladora y la perforación horizontal dirigida, permitiendo la instalación de tuberías sin zanja en una única operación continua.
Gracias a su tecnología de empuje y excavación simultánea, evita la construcción de una zanja de ataque o recepción, y permite instalar tramos largos con alta precisión, seguridad y menor impacto ambiental.
Esta técnica se utiliza en obras críticas como submarine emissaries o cruces de áreas marinas protegidas, donde otras tecnologías no pueden operar con eficiencia.

What is the Direct Pipe method and how does it differ from other pipe installation techniques?
The method Direct Pipe is an innovative technique that combines the advantages of microtunneling and horizontal directional drilling (HDD). Unlike other methods, Direct Pipe allows excavation and pipe installation to be performed simultaneously, eliminating the need for additional tunnel extensions and a reaction wall attack shaft. This makes it faster, more versatile and efficient, adapting to a wide range of ground conditions.
On what kind of soils can Direct Pipe be used?
Direct Pipe is applicable to almost any ground condition, from soft to rocky soils. Its versatility allows this method to be used in a variety of projects, including crossings under rivers, highways, and in densely populated urban areas. The method's ability to adapt to different soil types without losing efficiency is one of its main advantages.
What advantages does Direct Pipe offer compared to other pipe installation methods?
Direct Pipe offers several key advantages over other methods. By performing excavation and pipe installation simultaneously, project time is significantly reduced. In addition, it does not require tunnel enlargement or a reaction wall attack shaft, which simplifies logistics and reduces costs. It is also less invasive, minimizing environmental impact and disturbance in sensitive or urban areas.
What are the space requirements for implementing Direct Pipe?
One of the main requirements for implementing the Direct Pipe method is the need for a substantial ramp surface. This is because the process requires a long and stable working platform where the metallic pipe can be welded prior to installation. This spatial requirement can be a challenge in environments with limited space, such as urban areas, but is still feasible in projects with sufficient space available.
What types of pipes can be installed with the Direct Pipe method?
Direct Pipe is particularly suitable for the installation of large diameter pipes, usually metallic, which require a high degree of precision and control during installation. This method is ideal for pipelines used in the infrastructure for transporting water, gas, oil and other fluids through difficult terrain or environmentally sensitive areas.
What environmental considerations should be taken into account when using Direct Pipe?
The Direct Pipe method is less invasive than other traditional pipe installation methods, making it more environmentally friendly. By minimizing the need for open-cut excavation, the impact on the surface and surrounding vegetation is significantly reduced. In addition, its ability to work in difficult soils without significantly altering the environment makes it an ideal choice for projects in ecologically sensitive areas.
