Abstract
In this paper, the history of pipejacking works by tunnel boring machines in Hong Kong, their development, selection of design method and tunnel boring machine (TBM), operations, length and alignment of a pipeline, types of techniques to suit different site constraints and ground conditions, and performance of the works are discussed. This paper should be read together with part II, which covers applications, problems encountered, cost and prospects.
