由ASCE建筑研究院微型隧道委员会标准设计和施工指南ASCE/CI 36-15编制，涵盖了这种非开挖管道安装方法的规划、设计、材料和施工。微型隧道工程包括一台远程控制钻孔机、一个激光制导系统、一个推力顶升系统，以及对开挖面施加持续压力，以平衡地下水和土压力。微型隧道的使用已成为广泛接受的管道施工方式，本标准考虑了过去15年来发展的技术进步和施工实践。 新版标准36对早期标准进行了扩展和修改，以便用户能够更好地理解微型隧道项目中涉及的关键概念和技术细节。关于准备合同文件的章节，特别是图纸、技术规范和合同规范，已经彻底更新。此外，还修订了设计微型隧道工程的工程师和施工承包商的资格。增加了关于可持续性的新章节；法规；详细的现场调查，尤其是岩土方面；微隧道设计元素和操作； 建筑支持服务；以及计量和支付方面。标准36-15是从事管道项目的业主、工程师、承包商、供应商和制造商的重要参考资料，在这些项目中，微隧道是一个有吸引力的选择。

Prepared by the Standard Design and Construction Guidelines for Microtunneling Committee of the Construction Institute of ASCEStandard Design and Construction Guidelines for Microtunneling, Standard ASCE/CI 36-15, covers the planning, design, materials, and construction for this trenchless method of installing pipelines. Microtunneling projects involve a remote-controlled boring machine, a laser guidance system, a jacking system for thrust, and continuous pressure on the face of the excavation to balance groundwater and earth pressures. The use of microtunneling has become a widely accepted means of pipeline construction, and this standard takes into account advances in technology and construction practice developed over the past 15 years.This new edition of Standard 36 expands and modifies the earlier standard so that users can better understand both the key concepts and technical details involved in a microtunneling project. The section on preparing contract documents, particularly drawings, technical specifications, and contractual specifications, has been thoroughly updated. Also revised are the qualifications of engineers who design microtunneling projects and of the contractors who construct them. New sections have been added on sustainability; regulations; detailed site investigations, especially geotechnical aspects; microtunneling design elements and operations; construction support services; and aspects of measurement and payment.Standard 36-15 is a vital reference for owners, engineers, contractors, suppliers, and manufacturers working on pipeline projects where microtunneling is an attractive option.
