Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-end equipment manufacturing, and in particular to a bridge pier construction structure and its construction method. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the leapfrog development of bridge construction in my country, and due to land use restrictions, especially when road lines intersect with existing roads or rivers, bridge piers have become an extremely important component of bridge engineering.

[0003] Currently, existing bridge pier construction methods typically employ a combination of pier formwork and cast-in-place construction. Depending on site requirements, vertical ladders are sometimes installed on the piers for workers to climb. However, most existing vertical ladders are installed via hoisting, a process that consumes significant manpower and resources and takes up considerable time, greatly impacting pier construction efficiency. Furthermore, the stability of existing vertical ladders is insufficient; after prolonged exposure to wind and sun, their stability decreases, posing risks to construction.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a new type of bridge pier construction structure and its construction method. Summary of the Invention

[0023] Step 13: Install the positive template block in the template hole on the front of the template body, and insert the U-shaped tie rod into the positive template block;

[0024] Step Fourteen: Install a reverse template block inside the template hole on the reverse side of the template body, insert the reverse template block into the other end of the U-shaped tie rod, and then fix it with bolts;

[0025] Step 15: Insert the vertical rod into the mounting through holes of the positive and negative template blocks;

[0026] Step 16: Pour concrete into the formwork body;
