The installations made by pipe ramming are noted for their durability and low maintenance. However, like all subway infrastructures, they require a periodic preventive review to ensure its proper functioning and to extend its useful life.
🔧 Structural and functional maintenance
In most cases, drive-in pipelines are designed to operate in the most efficient way. without direct intervention for yearsprovided that they have been executed correctly and with suitable materials. However, it is recommended:
Perform periodic inspections with video camera systems or georadar equipment.
Verify the alignment and sealing of joints, especially in areas with ground movement.
Check the condition of the starting and receiving chamberswhich may accumulate debris or water over time.
At Eurohinca, all work carried out by means of pipe ramming are designed in accordance with the durability and technical control requirementsfor sewage, water supply or industrial pipelines.
🧪 Factors affecting maintenance.
Some factors that influence the type and frequency of maintenance include:
The type of terrain where the pipeline was installed.
Intended use: potable water, sewage, electrical or telecommunications networks.
The pipe material (steel, concrete, HDPE, etc.).
To ensure optimal long-term performance, it is also recommended that the following guidelines are followed material manufacturer's guidelines and the UNE maintenance standardsas the UNE-EN 752 on drainage and sanitation systems.
