Carrier Pipe

Pipe for conveyance of water, gas, sewage, or other products and services. Some carrier pipe can be installed by direct jacking (i.e. one-pass microtunneling).

Cased Bore

A bore in which a pipe, usually a steel casing, is inserted simultaneously with the boring operation.

Casing

A direct-jacked pipe in a two pass system that supports a bore. The casing is not a carrier pipe.

Casing Adapter

A circular mechanism to provide axial and lateral support of a smaller diameter casing than that of the casing pusher.
