Pipe Umbrella Support

Pipe Umbrella Support is a tunnel support system comprising a radial array of closely spaced, grouted steel pipes installed ahead of the excavation face to form a protective arch, distinguishing it from other pre-support methods by its umbrella-like structural configuration that stabilizes weak or fractured ground during tunneling.
