Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of construction technology for diverting and draining groundwater in pipe jacking, and particularly to the construction technology for diverting and draining groundwater in long-distance, steep-slope open pipe jacking. Background Technology
[0002] Open-type pipe jacking is a pipeline construction technique that involves excavating earthwork manually with the aid of auxiliary equipment, and jacking the pipe simultaneously. During the earthwork excavation and pipe jacking process, the groundwater level must be lowered to at least 50cm below the bottom of the working shaft and the bottom of the pipe before normal jacking can proceed. Therefore, ensuring that there is no groundwater within 50cm below the bottom of the pipe and the working shaft is a crucial measure to guarantee the safety and quality of pipeline jacking in open-type pipe jacking.
[0003] The geological conditions of this project section are as follows: groundwater is encountered 1.5m below the ground surface, the permeability coefficient of silty clay is 4-6m / d, and groundwater will be encountered when the pipe jacking reaches 112.5m. Therefore, it is necessary to pump out the groundwater in the pipe jacking.
[0004] If mechanical pipe jacking is used, when pumping groundwater, the elevation of the working well and the receiving well is first adjusted to keep them in the same position before jacking. Then the working well needs to be lowered by 34m to a depth of 50.119m. The foundation pit needs to be constructed with cast-in-place piles and dewatering wells. However, the following problems exist: (1) Cast-in-place piles and dewatering wells are expensive and have a long construction period, which cannot meet the construction period requirements; (2) Cable installation and maintenance are difficult, and it is difficult to go up and down the foundation pit, which cannot meet the relevant power specifications.
[0005] If a steep, open-face pipe jacking system with ground-level dewatering wells is used, the following problems exist: (1) the area from the receiving well to the receiving well plus 60m is on the slope of the plateau, and the dewatering well equipment cannot reach this area; (2) river management requirements do not allow excavation of the plateau slope, which would damage the ecological environment. Therefore, this invention proposes a construction process for long-distance, steep, open-face pipe jacking to divert and drain groundwater. Summary of the Invention

[0049] Embodiment
[0050] A 330KV power pipeline project passes through a river and then goes up a hill along Chang'an Avenue, with a total length of 3380 m, a pipe diameter of D2000 mm, and an up-hill pipeline length of 170 m. The ground elevation of the working well 1 on the hill is 481.116, the pipeline buried depth is 16.119 m, the ground elevation of the receiving well 2 below the hill is 443.920, the pipeline buried depth is 12.904 m, and the pipeline slope is 20%. The geological conditions of this section of the project are that underground water is found 1.5 m below the ground of the working well 1, the permeability coefficient of silty clay is 4-6 m / d, and the working well is jacked by 112.5 m to the receiving well 2 and encounters underground water.
[0051] Selection of pipe jacking process is needed when pipe jacking
[0052] (1) The following difficulties exist in the pipe jacking process from top to bottom: large slope, 5m long machine head, 32 tons of pipe jacking machine, 1m higher tail than head of pipe jacking machine, risk of head deviation during jacking, possibility of machine head getting lower and lower, and unguaranteed pipe jacking quality.
[0053] (2) The following difficulties exist in the pipe jacking process from bottom to top: ① large slope, 5m long machine head, 32 tons of pipe jacking machine, 1m lower tail than head of pipe jacking machine, increasing resistance with the increase of jacking length, huge pressure on pipe, and risk of deformation of back wall and working well. ② If grouting is used to reduce resistance, the cylinder of the pipe jacking jack is retracted, and the jacked pipe has the hidden danger of sliding down, which cannot guarantee safety.
[0054] (3) The following difficulties exist in the pipe jacking process of reducing the pipe elevation of working well 1 to the pipe elevation of receiving well 2: receiving well 2 needs to be lowered by 34m, the depth reaches 50.119m, the foundation pit needs to be constructed by cast-in-place pile and dewatering well, the cast-in-place pile and dewatering well have high cost and long construction period, cannot meet the construction period requirement, the discharge cable and cable operation and maintenance are difficult, and the up and down of the foundation pit is difficult, which cannot meet the specification requirement.
[0055] (4) The following difficulties exist in the open pipe jacking with large slope and the ground with dewatering well: the dewatering well equipment cannot enter the range from receiving well 2 to receiving well 2 plus 60m on the slope of the terrace, and the river management department does not allow excavation and damage to the slope of the terrace.
[0056] The construction process of open pipe jacking with large slope and drainage pumping after jacking the pipe into the groundwater layer solves the problems of the dewatering well equipment cannot enter the site and damage to the natural environment of the river, guarantees the construction period, and reduces the engineering cost. The drainage pumping after jacking the pipe into the groundwater layer ensures that the groundwater is 0.5m below the bottom of the pipe 3, guarantees that there is no water in the pipe 3 during excavation, and the soil is normally excavated and transported, the safety of the operating personnel and the engineering quality.
[0057] Before construction, according to the measurement control network, the well position is put out, the underground pipeline and structure in the construction range are technically briefed, the trend and buried depth of underground structures are found out.

The reverse construction method is constructed in sections not more than 2m per section, and the construction is divided into sections to the designed well bottom, the guide rail, back wall and pipe jacking equipment are installed. After the working well and equipment are accepted and qualified, the pipe jacking is started.

[0059] The pipeline is jacked and the groundwater is drained, the pipeline is jacked 105 m from the working well 1 to the receiving well 2, the jacking is stopped before the groundwater is encountered, the soil is stabilized by grouting through a small pipe within a range of 5 m in front of the pipeline 3, then a pipe supporting pit 4 with a length of 2.5 m, a width of 0.5 m and a depth of 1 m is artificially excavated below the bottom of the pipeline 3 at the jacking end of the pipeline 3, a directional drilling machine is installed on the south side of the receiving well 2, the drill rod of the directional drilling machine enters from the hole on the south side of the receiving well 2, the drill rod is guided to advance along the design axis elevation direction of the receiving well 2 and the working well 1 and below the design elevation by 0.75 m, after the drill rod enters the pipe supporting pit 4 with a length of 2.5 m, a width of 0.5 m and a depth of 1 m which is excavated, a reamer is installed on the drill rod to ream, then a PE permeation pipe 5 is pulled to the receiving well 2, a water pump is installed in the water collecting pit excavated in the receiving well 2 to drain, which ensures that the groundwater is below the bottom surface of the pipeline 3 by 0.5 m, ensures that there is no water in the pipeline 3 during excavation, the soil is normally excavated and transported, the safety of the operating personnel and the engineering quality, when the pipe jacking continues, the pipe supporting pit with a length of 2.5 m, a width of 0.5 m and a depth of 1 m is artificially backfilled with concrete to the design pipe bottom elevation, then the small pipe grouting reinforcement is damaged, the pipe jacking continues, and the permeation pipe 5 is blocked when the pipeline 3 jacking is completed.
[0060] The above only discloses several specific embodiments of the present application, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this, any changes that can be thought of by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present application.
