Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of onshore water intake and drainage technology, and in particular to an onshore water intake and drainage pipeline system and its construction method. Background Technology

[0002] Many engineering projects, such as power plants and waterworks, require significant water intake and drainage from water bodies during operation. Therefore, these projects are often located along riverbanks or coastlines to secure a stable water source. Current technologies for onshore water intake pipelines typically involve constructing them using dikes, submerged pipe installations, or tunnel boring machines (TBMs) to jack up the pipeline within the underwater soil. These existing onshore water intake pipeline systems are suitable for areas with gentle geological profiles and soft strata. However, some areas along rivers or coastlines have steep slopes and hard geological conditions, such as the rocky coastlines found along my country's coastlines from south to north. These geological areas are not suitable for the current methods of constructing pipelines within the underwater soil. From a safety perspective, these geological areas are suitable for the main body of the project, but not for constructing water intake and drainage structures using conventional methods such as submerged pipe installations, tunnel boring machines, or TBMs. This poses challenges to design and construction and may even affect project site selection. Summary of the Invention

[0010] 7. The present invention provides a construction method for the above-mentioned onshore water intake and drainage pipeline system, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0011] Step 1: Construct a level foundation on the underwater ground to create a flat upper surface;

[0012] Step 2: Construct a protective dike and cofferdam on a leveled foundation. The protective dike and cofferdam consists of several box-shaped structures arranged side by side.

The door openings are temporarily sealed.

[0013] Step 3: Fill the non-pipe installation area inside the box structure with filler;

[0014] Step 4: Install a sealing and waterproofing device at the doorway.

Piers and limiting components ensure the pipeline's structural stability in the water, preventing displacement due to water flow. Furthermore, a stable dike is constructed on the landside using a leveled foundation, revetment, cofferdam, partition walls, and fill material. The partition walls' zoned design allows for containment of seepage within designated areas in case of leakage. These structural features make this shore-based water intake and drainage pipeline system well-suited for areas with steep slopes and hard geology, such as coastal rock foundations. Additionally, this system is also applicable to areas with softer geology, such as soil and sand foundations, demonstrating its wide applicability.

[0032] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the following embodiments, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will specifically illustrate the technical solution of this invention.

[0033] <Example 1>

[0034] See Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a shore-based water intake and drainage pipeline system, which includes: a leveling foundation 1, a protective embankment 2, a partition wall 3, fill material 4, underwater pile foundation 7, positioning pile head 8, platform beam 9, pier 16, pipeline 12, water intake and drainage head 18, limiting component 17, and sealing and water-stopping device 6.

[0035] The onshore water intake and drainage pipeline system in this embodiment is a water intake structure located near the coast. In this embodiment, the foundation in the seawater is rock, such as... Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 In the diagram, 14 represents a land rock surface and 15 represents an underwater rock surface. However, this is not a limitation. The onshore water intake and drainage pipeline system of the present invention can also be implemented in waters near rivers and lakes, and the foundation is not limited to a rock foundation, but can also be a soil foundation, a sand foundation, etc.

[0036] The base leveling foundation 1 is constructed on an underwater rock surface. The main body of the base leveling foundation 1 is a weir constructed using building materials, and the weir is surrounded by a cofferdam using steel sheet piles.

[0037] The protective dike 2 is constructed on a leveled foundation 1. The protective dike 2 consists of several box-type structures arranged side-by-side, such as... Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the box structure uses a prefabricated caisson. A partition wall 3 is constructed inside the caisson 2a, dividing the internal space of the box structure into several areas. These areas include at least one pipe installation area, which forms a through-passage from the land side to the water side by creating doorways in the partition wall 3 and the walls of the caisson 2a. This embodiment... Figure 2 The middle indicates that Figure 2 The central area of ​​the caisson 2a shown is configured as a through passage. Filler 4 is installed in the non-pipeline installation area inside the caisson structure. Additionally, a cover structure 19 can be installed on top of the cofferdam 2.

[0038] Several underwater pile foundations (7) are arranged in several rows along the water's edge and inserted into the underwater rock. The underwater pile foundations (7) employ a steel pipe pile configuration with internal concrete piles, ensuring the pile foundation's construction and subsequent durability. In this embodiment, as shown... Figure 2 The several underwater pile foundations shown are arranged in two rows, but this is not a limitation. In other embodiments, they can be arranged in multiple rows as needed.

[0039] The platform beam 9 is erected on the two-row drainage pile foundation 7 via positioning pile heads 8, and one side of the platform beam 9 is connected to the through passage. The platform beam 9 is composed of several precast beams or precast slabs, which are connected by concrete pouring. Figure 3 The diagram illustrates the precast beam 9b and precast slab 9a of the platform beam slab 9. Several piers 16 are cast in two rows on the platform beam slab 9, forming a guideway area between the two rows of piers 16.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, pipe 12 is installed along the through channel to the guide channel area. One end of pipe 12 is located on the land side, and the other end is located on the water side (sea side in this embodiment). Several intake / discharge heads 18 are connected to the underwater section of pipe 12 for drawing or draining water from the water body. Each intake / discharge head 18 is a head pipe equipped with an inlet valve or a outlet valve. The end of pipe 12 on the water side is a sealed end, and the end of pipe 12 on the land side is an open end. Pipe 12 consists of several pipe sections, with the last pipe section on the water side being a sealed section at one end (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown in 12a), adjacent pipe sections are connected by flanges and bolts. The last pipe section located on the landside is used to connect to the water supply or drainage pipeline of the adjacent water intake project.

[0041] Pipe 12 can be a round pipe or a square pipe, such as Figure 3 This embodiment uses a square tube structure.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the pipe section 12, which is mounted on the platform beam 9, is fixed in place by a limiting assembly. The limiting assembly 17 includes a pressing structure that presses against the surface of the pipe and bolt fasteners that fix the two sides of the pressing structure to the platform beam. The pressing structure can be a plate-shaped pressing structure such as a metal plate or a precast concrete slab, or a rope-shaped pressing structure such as a metal rope lock or a nylon rope.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pipe 12 is equipped with a sealing and water-stopping device 6 at each doorway, so that the entire system forms multiple seals. The sealing and water-stopping device 6 is a sealing ring or a sealing sleeve.

[0044] <Example 2>

[0045] This embodiment provides a construction method for the above-mentioned onshore water intake and drainage pipeline system, including the following steps:

[0046] Step 1: Construct a flat base on the underwater rock surface to create a smooth upper surface.

[0047] Step 2: Construct a protective dike and cofferdam on a leveled foundation. The protective dike and cofferdam consists of several box-type structures arranged side by side. The box-type structures are constructed by casting in the water using caissons or steel sheet piles and steel pipe piles.

[0048] The interior of the box-type structure is divided by partition walls, with corresponding door openings reserved in the partition walls and the box-type structure for the through passageways. These door openings are then temporarily sealed. For example... Figure 4 The temporary sealing 5 shown can be made using sealing plates, sealing plastic sleeves, etc., depending on the actual situation.

[0049] Step 3: Fill the non-pipeline installation area inside the box structure with filler.

[0050] Step 4: Install a sealing and waterproofing device at the doorway.

[0051] Step 5: Construct underwater pile foundations, reserving installation positions for positioning pile heads at the top of the underwater pile foundations.

[0052] Step 6: Precast the precast slabs and beams that form the platform beams, and perform a friction-reducing process on the surface of the precast slabs. Then, cast the concrete on-site to complete the erection and installation of the platform beams.

[0053] Step 7: Install the supporting equipment for pipe jacking on the land side.

[0054] Step 8: Install the landside pipeline: See Figure 3 The pipeline passes through the doorways one by one. When it passes through a doorway facing the water, the temporary underwater blockage is broken from the outside.

[0055] Step 9: Install the water-side pipes, see [link / reference] Figure 4 The pipe continued to be pushed forward in the water.

[0056] In step 9, when the pipe's buoyancy resistance is insufficient, a counterweight can be added inside the pipe. Figure 5 Figure 13 shows a counterweight.

[0057] In step 9, if water seepage occurs at the joints of the pipe sections during the installation of the water-side pipes, the seepage can first be controlled within the partitioned area by using a partition wall. Then, the construction personnel need to take measures such as backfilling and reinforcement in a timely manner.

[0058] Step 10: After jacking is completed, install the intake and drainage heads on the water-side pipe section and limit the pipe using the limiting components.

[0059] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
