Description

Technical Field

Background Art

The seepage water discharged into the gallery through drainage holes keeps the air humidity in the gallery at a relatively high level, causing the laid cable lines, safety monitoring facilities, etc. to be in a humid or even waterlogged state for a long time, seriously affecting their service life. At the same time, the locally waterlogged and humid gallery floor also causes great inconvenience to the daily inspection work of operation and maintenance personnel. How to properly handle the seepage water discharged into the gallery through certain measures to keep the gallery dry and create good conditions for operation and maintenance is an important technology in hydropower and water conservancy projects.

A transparent moisture-proof protective cover 9 is provided above the concrete plug 8.

[0027] As Figure 2 shown, the wall drain pipe 3 is provided with drain pipe fixing parts 5, and the wall drain pipe 3 is fixed to the inner wall surface of the drainage observation gallery 1 through the drain pipe fixing parts 5. The gallery drain holes 2 are arranged on the top wall and both side walls of the drainage observation gallery 1, and the wall drain pipe 3 is provided with drain pipe tees and elbows 6 to connect the gallery drain holes 2.

[0028] The present invention also provides a construction method for the above-mentioned closed drainage structure of a dam foundation or reservoir bottom drainage observation gallery. The method steps include:
