This invention discloses a method for treating abandoned culverts, comprising: sealing the abandoned
culvert in sections; pre-burying a delivery
pipe and a grouting
pipe in each section of the
culvert, with one end of the delivery
pipe located at the lower part of the section and one end of the grouting pipe located at the upper part of the section; injecting foamed lightweight soil into the section of the
culvert through the delivery pipe, so that the foamed lightweight soil fills the section of the culvert; after the foamed lightweight soil in the section of the culvert has initially set, injecting
cement slurry into the section of the culvert under
high pressure through the grouting pipe, the
cement slurry penetrating and reinforcing the foamed lightweight soil to form a composite reinforcement layer. This invention solves the problems of water and soil
pollution, high
treatment costs, and high settlement risks associated with traditional culvert demolition during
urban road renovation and upgrading.
