Problem
Construction and modernisation of infrastructure are extremely important for the smooth running of social processes and overall social development.
Solution and method
The choice of modern construction methods is an important priority. As the increasing population in urban settlements and cities places additional strain on infrastructure, this requires the construction of new infrastructure lines or the renovation of existing ones. It is crucial that new solutions are sustainably oriented and adapted to the needs of the growing population.
In urban environments, space is limited, which determines the method of construction and design. By placing infrastructure in space, we influence the environment and people as part of the environment in one way or another. Two construction methods are used in the construction of underground linear infrastructure: the conventional excavation method and trenchless construction.
The right choice of method is crucial for minimising impacts on the environment and people in dense urban areas. The purpose of the diploma thesis was to compare the installation of conventional electrical cable duct (EKK) with radio-controlled directional drilling (HDD) from various perspectives using a practical example. The concrete practical example thus presented the EKK construction technologies in detail.
The description includes all essential details regarding technologies, equipment and execution of works in EKK construction. The installation of conventional EKK and the installation of EKK using the HDD directional drilling method are presented theoretically. In practice, the installation of EKK using the HDD directional drilling method is presented in the project Replacement of MV CB 20 kV (k-491) Prešernova Arbajterjeva on the section between TP Maistrova Ptuj (t-370) – TP CSUI Ptuj (t-241).
This example provides a good basis for assessing the advantages and disadvantages of both methods according to project requirements. A comparison of conventional (classical) excavation with HDD in a practical example shows that the choice of technology depends on the specifics of the project. In some cases, conventional excavation is more economically favourable, whilst HDD enables more efficient crossing of natural and artificial obstacles without major interventions in the environment.
