Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bank protection cofferdam construction, and in particular to a rapid soil excavation structure and soil excavation method for forming a cofferdam in a strong tidal surge area. Background Art

[0002] After the water in the cofferdam area is drained, manual construction can be carried out in the cofferdam area. The pipe bag soil cofferdam allows bank construction to be carried out at low tide. The pipe bag soil cofferdam is required during the cofferdam formation process in the strong tidal surge area.

[0003] The pipe bag soil utilizes the characteristics of silt sand, which has the characteristics of mud and water mixed and suspended, and can be transported by pipes. After standing, the mud and water will be quickly separated. After the silt sand and water are mixed, they are transported by pipes into a pre-sewn woven cloth bag with a certain strength. After the mud and water mixture stands in the bag, the mud and water will quickly separate to form a pipe bag soil cofferdam. The pipe bag soil is stacked layer by layer to form a temporary water retaining facility.

[0004] When using stacked soil tube bags as temporary water barriers, the bags need to be filled with mud and water. However, obtaining soil from the Qiantang River, where tides are high and waves fluctuate drastically, is extremely difficult. Using large maritime vessels could cause damage to the hull if they run aground due to insufficient draft during low tide, and the high rental costs make the process uneconomical. Using small eel fry catching vessels presents significant safety risks and does not meet the administrative approval requirements of the maritime authorities.

[0005] The Chinese patent, "A River Soil Excavation Frame and Soil Excavation Method," with application number 202210995891.3, describes a river soil excavation frame, comprising a traversable frame that begins above the embankment, crosses the embankment footing, and extends to the river surface. A soil excavation mechanism, mounted on the frame, includes a mud pump for sinking to the riverbed to extract soil. A pipeline, arranged along the frame and connected to the mud pump, is used to transport soil. A lifting device, mounted on the end of the frame away from the embankment, is connected to the mud pump and is used to control the raising and lowering of the mud pump. The mud pump in this structure is located at the front end of the soil excavation frame, and the structure extending from the frame is subject to tidal surges, posing a safety hazard. Furthermore, this technology extracts soil for embankment repair. Summary of the Invention
