AI Technical Summary
In pipe jacking machines, especially in complex geological formations, existing advanced geological forecasting technologies are unable to effectively predict the geological conditions ahead, leading to increased construction risks. In particular, when there is a significant difference between soft and hard soil layers, it is impossible to adjust the pipe jacking machine parameters in real time, which affects the safety of tunnel construction.
A spatial array of geophones was deployed as monitoring points on the sidewall of the pipe jacking gallery. Wave field processing technology was used to separate reflected longitudinal and transverse waves, quickly identify adverse geological structures, and adjust the construction plan based on the results to ensure safe construction.
It enables rapid and accurate geological surveys, reduces construction time, improves the safety and efficiency of tunnel construction, and allows for data analysis and report writing to be completed in a short time.
