Overview
ATV DIN 18319 "Trenchless pipelaying" has been technically revised by the German Committee for Construction Contract Procedures (DVA). Among other things, the references to VOB/A have been updated. This standard specifies requirements relating to the trenchless laying of underground prefabricated pipes or similar elements of any shape by jacking, driving or towing. It also deals with trenchless pipelaying using techniques such as pipe eating and pipe bursting, including excavation of soil and rock as the pipe is driven and the removal of spoil from the pipe and its immediate surroundings.
