Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of seepage drainage systems for tailing ponds in metal and non-metal mines, and specifically to a construction method for seepage drainage walls of tailing dams. Background Art

[0002] The phreatic line, as the lifeline of the tailing dam, is the most direct and crucial factor affecting the safety of the tailing stacking dam. As the stacking height of the tailing dam continuously increases, the buried depth of the phreatic line inside the tailing dam body gradually rises. Once the phreatic line inside the tailing dam body is higher than the controlled buried depth of the phreatic line, seepage reduction measures should be immediately taken.

[0003] Currently, the common types of seepage drainage facilities in tailing ponds are as follows: gravity seepage drainage pipes, well point dewatering, vertical-horizontal combined seepage drainage, siphon seepage drainage, radiation wells, etc. Among them, the seepage drainage wall in the vertical-horizontal combined seepage drainage system is relatively commonly used, with relatively simple construction, lower investment, and better seepage drainage effect. By reasonable layout, it can effectively reduce the phreatic line inside the dam body and ensure the seepage stability of the tailing pond.

[0004] At present, there are generally two construction processes for seepage drainage walls. One is to form a seepage drainage wall with a relatively shallow depth (excavation depth less than 6m) through excavation, and the other is to form a seepage drainage wall with a relatively deep depth (drilling depth greater than 6m) through drilling. For the seepage drainage wall formed by excavation, it is necessary to first excavate a groove on the tailing sand platform outside the tailing pond according to the planned position, and then lay geotextiles and backfill crushed stone materials. To ensure construction safety, the side slopes on both sides of the bottom of the groove usually slope at a ratio of 1:1.5 to 1:2 to both sides during the excavation process, or timely take support measures after excavation to prevent water gushing or landslides on both side slopes.

[0005] During the construction process of the seepage drainage wall, it is often encountered that the width of the tailing sand platform is too narrow to meet the slope requirement, or the axis of the tailing dam is too long, which requires a large cost for pit and groove support. How to safely, quickly and efficiently complete the construction of the seepage drainage wall under the above limiting conditions, and quickly reduce the phreatic line inside the dam body to ensure the seepage stability of the tailing dam is a practical problem.

[0006] In view of this, the present invention is specifically proposed. Summary of the Invention
