Model DH-U Dual Shield for Sharp Curves

Rasa DH-U Machine

Rasa DH-U Machine

Features

Like the DH type, DH-U incorporates a cutter disk and also a powerful cutter motor and cone crusher that can cope with various kinds of soil. The main body has two direction correction sections each consisting of a spherically formed structure, enabling the system to cope with sharp curves as well.

The top of the machine has an inspection hatch to enable wear of the bit to be checked during long distance propulsion. The use of the dual shield system increases the work accuracy. By combining a gyro-navigation and data logging system with the dual shield system, work management is facilitated.

 Pipe Jacking  & Segments

The Dual Shield System is designed for projects which undertake long and sharp curved pipeline projects. First, the pipe jacking method is adopted over a fixed distance of a straight line and thereafter the segmental shield method is adopted to complete the sharp curved section and balance works of the pipeline construction. This system, which combines the pipe jacking and segmental shield method, provides a safe, reliable and economical solution to your pipeline construction works.

Rasa DH-U Control Box

Optimum Control Machine for Curved Pipe Jacking

The north seeking gyrocompass is an absolute directional sensor that detects direction from the North Pole. This sensor has been used with extremely satisfactory results in curved pipe jacking systems.

Real time machine coordination and position can be determined by absolute direction and distance data. This system allows drastic reduction in survey work.

Rasa DH-U Gyro

Features

Absolute direction

     Gyrocompass detects absolute direction.
     Servo type acceleration meter measures pitch and roll.
Real time machine position
     Machine position is determined in real time and maintained in accurate
     alignment by the gyrocompass and distance meter.
The increase in efficiency of the work
     Reduction in amount of surveying which improves work efficiency.
Graphical survey image
     Input of survey results executes transverse calculation and deviations relative to
     design tunnel alignment will be displayed.
Easy-handling and user-friendly software
     Graphic user interface navigates operator clearly
Date saving
     Various related values saved in database every 10cm
