The invention discloses a method for pulling out
underwater steel
pipe piles for temporary projects of bridges. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, the
model number of a vibration hammer and
lifting equipment are selected through calculation, a transporting
barge is prepared, and a complete set is formed and enters an operation area; then, the top of a steel
pipe pile is leveled; the
lifting equipment arrives at the operation area, an anchor is cast in place according to the length of a lifting arm and the operation
radius, and meanwhile, the vibration hammer and the transporting
barge are in place near the steel
pipe pile; the vibration hammer is started to sink down the steel pipe
pile, and then, the pile is pulled through vibration; after the steel pipe pile ascends, the
lifting equipment directly pulls the pile until the steel pipe pile is separated from a mud surface; and finally, the steel pipe pile drops on the transporting
barge, and the vibration hammer frees the pile to finish the pile pulling. In addition, a two-section pulling method is suitable for the steel pipe pile with the length more than 45 m; firstly the steel pipe pile is pulled out partially; then, the part of the steel pipe pile above a water surface is
cut off; and finally, the remainder part of the steel pipe pile is pulled out. The method has the advantages of strong
operability, low labor intensity, convenience for use, safety,
environmental protection, quickening of construction progress and reduction of construction cost.
