Advanced grouting construction method for large-shield long-distance passing through high-speed roadbed hole
By using advanced drilling rigs and dual-liquid grouting technology to reinforce the soil above the shield cutterhead during shield tunneling, the problem of soil deformation when the shield tunnel passes through soft upper and hard lower strata was solved, achieving efficient and safe construction results and reducing construction costs and time.

AI Technical Summary
When tunnel boring machines (TBMs) traverse complex strata with soft upper layers and hard lower layers, traditional TBM construction methods cannot effectively suppress soil deformation, resulting in insufficient construction quality and safety. This is especially problematic when constructing tunnels within highway subgrades, as it has a significant impact, long construction period, high cost, and severe environmental impact.
Drilling is carried out using an advanced drilling rig, and a mixture of water glass solution and cement slurry is injected into the borehole through an advanced grouting pipe. This is followed by a backward two-component grouting process. The pressure of the slurry chamber is monitored to control the movement of the drill rod and the tunnel boring machine, forming a semi-circular sealed shell to reinforce the soil above and in front of the tunnel boring machine cutterhead.
It significantly improved the stability of the strata above the shield cutterhead, shortened the construction period, saved costs, reduced construction risks, improved construction efficiency and settlement control accuracy, and ensured the safe passage of the shield.
