Overview: The document describes the Pipe Steering System RS 600 – 1400, designed for installing pipelines with a specified inclination using a conventional thrust boring machine without the need for microtunnelling equipment. The system ensures precise installation through a combination of hydraulic and digital technologies.

Specifications: The system is available in various models (RS 600 to RS 1400) with outer diameters ranging from 610 mm to 1420 mm, inner diameters from 488 mm to 1314 mm, steering forces from 110,000 N to 296,000 N, and total lengths from 1400 mm to 3150 mm.

Components and Functionality: The pipe control unit is welded to the guide tube and connected to the boring machine. It includes a height-adjustable cutter shoe for jacking steel pipes, controlled hydraulically from the starting pit. Navigation is facilitated by inclinometers and a digital display that indicates the pipe's inclination, allowing for adjustments via additional hydraulics.

Hydraulics and Navigation: The system includes a hydraulic power pack, hose drums with 100 m hydraulic hoses, inclinometers, and an inclination display. The power supply is provided by the thrust boring machine's power pack.

Accessories: The system is equipped with universal joints for easy inclination adjustments and is compatible with various cutter heads depending on soil types. Accessories are suitable for all pipe diameters.

Applications: This system is ideal for projects requiring precise pipeline installation with specific inclinations, particularly when microtunnelling equipment is unavailable.
