The invention relates to the technical field of tunnel shield construction, in particular to a method for replacing a
tail brush in extra large
diameter shield driving under a high
water pressure condition. The method solves the problems of huge risks, high technical requirement, optimization of structural defect of the original
tail brush, long construction period, high cost and the like when the
tail brush is replaced in the conventional shield driving under the high
water pressure condition. The method comprises the following steps of: performing preparation before the tail brush is changed; plugging
high pressure underground water, synchronously injecting
bentonite mud, injecting
polyurethane at the shield tail, and injecting double-liquid
slurry of
cement and water glass to the back of a duct piece; and replacing the tail brush, detaching a capping block, detaching adjacent blocks, then
cutting the damaged tail brush, optimizing the structure of the tail brush of the original design,
welding a new tail brush, replacing the rest tail brush in a supporting reversal mode, replacing the tail brush at the last duct piece, and completing
assembly of the duct piece of the capping block. The method has the advantages of simplicity in process, short construction period, low cost, controllable risk and the like, gains good economic benefit and social benefit, and has wide application range.
