CUTTING SHOES FOR CASING PIPES

PRINCIPALS DESCRIPTION

Cutting shoes have to conform to the soil layers to be bored through. Practical experience has shown that continuous turning of the casing compatible to the excavation of soil can only operate if the pressure on the casing, the shape of teeth and the corresponding free cut are properly chosen.
The requirements for the design of the cutting teeth depend on the type and hardness of the ground. Continuous development and experience have resulted in the following cutting shoe types:

• tooth type 1 (see the table);
• tooth type 2 (see the table);
• tooth type 3 (see the table);
• tooth type 4 (see the table);
• tooth type 5 (see the table).
