[0002] Pipe jacking is used in urban infrastructure construction, such as water supply, drainage, cables, and gas pipelines. This technology uses specialized pipe jacking equipment to advance pipelines underground without excavation, thus minimizing the impact on urban traffic and the environment. Pipe jacking not only reduces environmental disturbance and public inconvenience during construction but also effectively lowers construction costs and provides a safe and reliable pipeline laying solution in certain complex geological conditions. This technology is particularly suitable for areas with heavy traffic or where it is necessary to protect surface buildings and natural landscapes.

[0003] However, existing technologies have limited capabilities in real-time monitoring and adjustment of the jacking direction, which is particularly evident in complex geological conditions, potentially leading to construction accidents and delays, and impacting construction efficiency. These technical and operational shortcomings limit the effectiveness and safety of pipe jacking technology in a wider range of or more challenging environments. Summary of the Invention

After completion, certified control point data is generated, and a plane control network and an elevation control network are established. In addition, a third-order traverse plane control network is set up around the jacking shaft. The fourth-order leveling method is used to form a closed traverse network with the closure error controlled within 12mm.

Calculate the earth pressure control value at the excavation face based on groundwater pressure and earth pressure. Adjust the slurry specific gravity and flow rate to ensure the stability of the excavation face and reduce surface settlement. The construction of the pipe jacking test section verifies the relationship between jacking speed, slurry parameters, and surface settlement, thereby optimizing construction parameters and carrying out normal tunneling. Control the jacking speed and slurry specific gravity, regularly measure the pipeline axis and elevation, and correct errors. Finally, prepare for the exit operation of the pipe jacking machine head. Reinforce the soil in front of the receiving shaft opening in advance to ensure the machine head smoothly enters the receiving shaft, resulting in a successfully exiting pipe jacking machine head.

[0053] In this embodiment, S1 includes:

[0054] S101, Conduct topographic surveying and control point verification of the construction area. Use instruments to re-measure the traverse network and leveling network and their control points provided by the construction unit. The instruments include total station, precision level and GPS surveying equipment, with an accuracy within ±1mm. The surveying work includes verifying the position, elevation and coordinates of existing traverse points and leveling points, and densifying the control points as needed. After the survey is completed, the verified control point data is obtained.

Based on the verified control point data, establish a plane control network and an elevation control network; lay out a third-order traverse plane control network near the jacking shaft to form a closed traverse network; for elevation control, adopt the fourth-order leveling method, use a precision level, and control the closure error within 12mm; thus obtaining a construction control network that meets the accuracy requirements.

[0056] S103, based on the construction control network that meets the accuracy requirements, lay out the center of the shaft and the center line of the jacking pipe; using a total station and a level, accurately transfer the design coordinates and elevations of the shaft and pipe to the construction site, with the layout error controlled within ±3mm; after layout, set up markers and take protective measures to obtain the axis and elevation control markers of the construction site;

[0058] In step S101, the construction team conducted topographic surveys and control point verification of the construction area. The methods included using total stations, precision levels, and GPS surveying equipment to re-measure the traverse network and leveling network and their control points provided by the construction unit, ensuring an error within ±1mm. First, surveyors checked the location, elevation, and coordinates of existing traverse and leveling points to ensure the accuracy of this basic data. Next, as needed for construction, the surveying team densified the control points at necessary locations. This process was conducted using total stations, precision levels, and GPS surveying equipment to ensure accurate alignment for subsequent construction. After the surveying was completed, the construction team obtained a set of rigorously verified control point data. This data will be used to guide subsequent construction activities, ensuring the accuracy of the construction location and providing the necessary foundation for the next stage of control network construction.

[0059] In step S102, a plane control network and an elevation control network were established based on verified control point data. The construction team deployed a third-order traverse plane control network near the jacking shaft, ensuring a closed traverse network to enhance the stability and accuracy of the overall measurement. For elevation control, a fourth-order leveling method was employed, using a level instrument and strictly controlling the closure error to within 12mm.

[0060] In step S103, the work of setting out the center lines of the shaft and the jacking pipeline was carried out precisely. The construction team used a total station and a level to accurately transfer the design coordinates and elevations of the shaft and pipeline to the construction site. The setting-out error was strictly controlled within ±3mm. After the setting-out was completed, markers were set up on the construction site and protective measures were taken to ensure that the axis and elevation control markers were not disturbed during construction.

The construction team used a suspended steel tape method to transfer the elevation and coordinates from the ground to the bottom of the shaft, and used two levels for simultaneous observation to ensure that the accuracy of the elevation transfer was controlled within ±3mm. After completing these steps, the construction control points were precisely set at the bottom of the shaft. The successful execution of this process provided precise elevation and coordinate control points for the construction at the bottom of the shaft, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the construction.

During installation, ensure that the two guide rails are straight, parallel, and at the same height, and that the longitudinal slope is consistent with the design slope of the pipeline. The guide rails are made of I63a I-beams, 24a and 22a channel steel, and are 5-10 meters long. The axial position deviation of the guide rails shall not exceed 3mm, the top surface elevation deviation shall be controlled within ±3mm, and the track gauge deviation shall be controlled within ±2mm. After installation, a guide rail system with the required accuracy is obtained.

[0063] The construction team installed the guide rail system at the construction control points at the bottom of the shaft. The key to guide rail installation was ensuring the straightness, parallelism, and equal height of the two guide rails, while maintaining the same longitudinal slope as the designed pipe slope. To achieve these requirements, precision measuring tools were used to ensure that the guide rail's axial position deviation did not exceed 3mm, the top surface elevation deviation was controlled within ±3mm, and the track gauge deviation was controlled within ±2mm. During installation, the construction team used a laser measuring instrument and a level to continuously inspect the guide rails, ensuring all parameters met design requirements. After the guide rail system was installed, a guide rail system with strictly required precision was obtained. The accurate installation of this system was crucial for the smooth progress of the pipe jacking construction, ensuring the precise guidance and advancement of the pipe jacking machine.

After installation, the team checked the alignment of the pipe jacking machine's axis with the axes of the guide rails and the main jacking cylinder. This check was performed using a laser alignment instrument and a level to ensure all alignments met design standards. The accurate completion of this step ensured the stability and propulsion accuracy of the pipe jacking machine during construction, which is crucial for the success of subsequent jacking operations.

[0067] S202 involves installing and debugging the electrical circuits, hydraulic circuits, and mud system of the accurately positioned pipe jacking machine; connecting the main jacking cylinder, oil pump power station, mud inlet and outlet pipes, and thixotropic mud system; and installing monitoring instruments. After debugging, a fully functional pipe jacking machine system is obtained.

[0071] S204, use the jacking force parameters that meet the construction requirements to verify the bearing capacity of the back structure of the working pit; calculate the maximum jacking force that the back wall can withstand based on the back wall size, earth pressure, passive earth pressure and safety factor, which should be in the range of 15000-18000 kN; verify that the back structure meets the stability and strength requirements, and carry out reinforcement design if necessary to obtain a back structure scheme that meets the bearing requirements;

[0072] SAP2000, STAAD.Pro, or ANSYS software is used to verify the bearing capacity of the backing structure of the working pit. The dimensions of the backing wall, the estimated earth pressure, passive earth pressure, and safety factor are input. The software will calculate the maximum jacking force that the backing wall can withstand, ensuring this force value is between 15,000 and 18,000 kN. Based on the calculation results and relevant national or industry standards, such as the "Code for Design of Building Foundations," the technical team evaluates the stability and strength of the structure. If the analysis shows that the bearing capacity or safety factor of the backing wall does not meet the required standards, a reinforcement plan will be developed, the new bearing capacity after reinforcement will be calculated, and the reinforcement measures will be described in detail. This step ensures the safety and functionality of the backing structure, providing a robust support environment for the smooth progress of the pipe jacking operation.

[0073] S205, under the guidance of the back structure scheme that meets the load-bearing requirements, carried out the reinforcement of the tunnel entrance and the stratum reinforcement treatment; removed the anchor sprayed concrete and grid support at the tunnel entrance, and installed reinforced steel grid and vertical steel bars to form a reinforced ring beam for the tunnel entrance; carried out deep hole grouting reinforcement on the soil within 5-10 meters in front of the tunnel entrance, and increased the unconfined compressive strength to 1.0-1.5 MPa, so as to obtain a stable tunnel entrance and reinforced stratum in front.

[0074] Guided by a back-structure design that met load-bearing requirements, the construction team reinforced the shaft entrance and the surrounding soil. Initially, the anchored shotcrete and grid support at the shaft entrance were removed, and then reinforced steel grids and vertical steel bars were installed to form a reinforced ring beam at the entrance. Subsequently, deep-hole grouting was used to reinforce the soil within 5-10 meters in front of the entrance, increasing the unconfined compressive strength of the soil to 1.0-1.5 MPa. These measures ensured the structural stability of the shaft entrance and the load-bearing capacity of the soil, providing a solid foundation for the smooth entry and operation of the pipe jacking machine and avoiding construction risks caused by soil loosening or collapse.

[0075] In this embodiment, S3 includes:

[0076] S301, carry out the chiseling and cleaning of the opening wall; use a pneumatic hammer and cutting machine to chisel away the wall at the opening, thoroughly remove the steel bars and concrete residue, and ensure that the opening size meets the requirements for the pipe jacking machine head to enter; after cleaning, the opening wall is cleaned.

[0077] The wall around the opening was then cleared and removed. Construction workers used pneumatic drills and cutting machines to precisely remove the wall at the opening, thoroughly clearing away any remaining reinforcing steel and concrete to ensure the opening dimensions met the requirements for the pipe jacking machine. This process resulted in a clean and precisely sized opening wall. This step not only ensured the smooth entry of the pipe jacking machine but also prevented potential structural obstacles during the process, thus improving construction safety and efficiency.

[0078] S302: The cleaned tunnel wall is used for the entry and advancement of the pipe jacking machine head; the pipe jacking machine is started, and the advancing speed is controlled within the range of 5-10 mm per minute. The machine head smoothly enters the tunnel, and the position of the water-stop ring is adjusted to completely seal the groundwater; by monitoring the tilt angle and rotation angle of the machine head, timely correction and adjustment are made to obtain a successfully entered pipe jacking machine head.

[0079] After starting the pipe jacking machine, the cleaned tunnel walls were used for the machine head's entry into the tunnel. The advancing speed was controlled within the range of 5-10 mm per minute to ensure the machine head smoothly entered the tunnel. Simultaneously, the position of the water-stop ring was adjusted to completely seal off groundwater and prevent water from flowing into the construction area. Furthermore, the tilt and rotation angles of the machine head were monitored, and timely adjustments were made to correct any deviations. This process not only ensured the successful entry of the pipe jacking machine head into the tunnel but also guaranteed the accuracy and safety of the entire pipe jacking operation, avoiding structural damage or ground movement during construction.

[0080] S303 controls the initial jacking direction of the jacking head after it has successfully entered the tunnel; the first section of concrete pipe is rigidly connected to the jacking head with multiple bolts to ensure the firmness of the connection; the tilt angle and offset of the jacking head are adjusted by using the correction cylinder and the weight of the jacking head to maintain the stability of the jacking direction and obtain a jacking head with directional correction.

[0081] The construction team controlled the initial jacking direction of the pipe jacking machine head after it successfully entered the tunnel. This operation first involved rigidly connecting the first section of concrete pipe to the jacking machine head using multiple bolts to ensure the stability of the connection. Subsequently, by operating the correction cylinder and utilizing the weight of the jacking machine head itself, the tilt angle and offset of the machine head were precisely adjusted to ensure the stability of the jacking direction. The core of this step is to ensure that the direction of the pipe jacking machine head is strictly aligned with the design axis through fine adjustments, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy and efficiency of the pipe jacking operation. The results of this operation not only ensure the accuracy of the pipe jacking construction but also generate direction correction records, which are important bases for subsequent construction review and quality control.

[0082] S304, under the guidance of the jacking head with directional correction, begins the pipe jacking and correction operation. Measurements are taken every 250-300 mm of advance, and the deviation is controlled within ±20 mm. The axis and elevation of the jacking machine are monitored in real time using a laser guide. The attitude of the jacking machine is adjusted by controlling the correction cylinder to obtain a stable jacking process.

[0083] Guided by the jacking head with directional correction, the pipe jacking and alignment operations commenced. The construction team utilized a laser guide to monitor the jacking machine's axis and elevation in real time. Through the control of the alignment cylinders, they adjusted the jacking machine's attitude to ensure it jacked along the correct axis and elevation. Precise control of the jacking machine's attitude was crucial, as even the slightest deviation could lead to errors in the jacking path, impacting the success of the entire project. Through these meticulous adjustments, the team achieved a stable jacking process, effectively avoiding potential axis misalignment and elevation errors, ensuring efficient and safe construction.

[0084] S305 measures and controls earth pressure and slurry parameters during the stable pipe jacking process; calculates the earth pressure control value at the excavation face based on groundwater pressure and earth pressure, and keeps the slurry chamber pressure within the calculated range; adjusts the slurry specific gravity and flow rate to ensure the stability of the excavation face, reduce surface settlement, and obtain controlled earth pressure and slurry parameters at the excavation face.

[0085] During the pipe jacking process, the construction team measured and controlled earth pressure and slurry parameters to ensure the stability of the excavation face. By measuring groundwater pressure and earth pressure, the team calculated the earth pressure control value for the excavation face, which was typically set within the engineering safety standard range, generally maintaining the slurry chamber pressure at no more than 0.3-0.5 MPa. Furthermore, by adjusting the specific gravity and flow rate of the slurry, the team not only ensured the stability of the excavation face but also effectively reduced surface settlement, which is particularly important in pipe jacking construction in urban areas or other sensitive locations.

[0086] In this embodiment, S4 includes:

[0087] S401, the controlled excavation face earth pressure and slurry parameters are used for the construction of the pipe jacking test section; the entire pipe jacking section is used as the test section, and soil settlement monitoring points are buried at a depth of 1.0-2.0 meters above the top of the pipe; the relationship between jacking speed, slurry parameters and surface settlement is verified through the test section, and the construction parameters are optimized to obtain the optimized jacking construction parameters;

[0088] Controlled earth pressure and slurry parameters at the excavation face were used in the construction of the test section of the pipe jacking project. During this process, the entire pipe jacking section was used as the test section, and soil settlement monitoring points were installed at a depth of 1.0-2.0 meters above the top of the pipe. These monitoring points were used to verify the relationship between jacking speed, slurry parameters, and surface settlement, thereby optimizing construction parameters. This step not only provided valuable experimental data to optimize jacking construction parameters but also helped the construction team adjust and improve construction techniques to adapt to complex geological conditions. The optimized jacking construction parameters obtained will serve as a reference for future construction activities, improving construction efficiency and safety. These activities ultimately resulted in a detailed set of construction records and data reports, providing a scientific basis for project quality management and subsequent work.

[0089] S402, under the guidance of optimized jacking construction parameters, carried out normal tunneling; the jacking speed was controlled within the range of 10-20 mm per minute, the mud specific gravity was between 1.10-1.25, and the flow rates of mud delivery and mud discharge were kept balanced; the pipeline axis and elevation were measured regularly, and the deviation was controlled within ±10 mm to obtain a continuous and stable tunneling process;

[0090] S403 implements drag reduction measures for continuous and stable tunneling processes; uniformly coats the outer wall of each pipe section with an industrial paraffin wax layer of 1-2 mm thickness to improve the sliding properties of the pipe wall; simultaneously performs thixotropic mud injection, with the mud viscosity controlled within the range of 20-25 seconds and the injection pressure between 0.1-0.2 MPa, to obtain a jacking environment with reduced frictional resistance.

[0091] S404 utilizes a jacking environment with reduced frictional resistance for secondary waterproofing of pipelines; a 2-5 mm thick non-woven fabric is wrapped around the outside of the rubber ring at the pipeline interface, and hemp filler is added; after jacking, hemp is applied to the pipeline joint to obtain a pipeline interface with enhanced sealing performance.

[0092] S405, for pipe interfaces with enhanced sealing performance, prepare for the exit operation of the pipe jacking machine head; according to the progress of pipe jacking, reinforce the soil in front of the receiving well opening with double-liquid grouting in advance for a length of 5-10 meters, with the grouting pressure controlled between 0.2-0.5 MPa, to improve the soil strength and obtain the reinforced soil in front of the opening.

[0093] S406, under the condition of the reinforced soil in front of the tunnel entrance, the pipe jacking head is pushed out of the tunnel; the jacking speed is controlled, with the speed range between 5 and 10 millimeters per minute, to ensure that the head enters the receiving well smoothly; before exiting the tunnel, the receiving well wall is removed using a breaker hammer and cutting equipment to locate the pipe outlet position, and the successfully exited pipe jacking head is obtained.

[0094] In this embodiment, it also includes: S5, dismantling and hoisting the pipe jacking head that has successfully exited the tunnel; using a hoisting device with a lifting capacity of 300-350 tons, the pipe jacking head is hoisted from the receiving shaft to the ground to obtain the safely dismantled pipe jacking head.

[0095] In this embodiment, it also includes: S6, after the pipe jacking machine head is safely removed, the pipe is replaced with mud; cement and fly ash are mixed in proportion to prepare grout, and grout is injected through the grouting hole inside the pipe. The number of grouting is not less than three times, the interval is not more than 24 hours, and the grouting pressure is controlled between 0.2-0.5 MPa, so as to obtain a pipe with mud replacement completed.

[0096] In this embodiment, it also includes: S7, conducting a water tightness test on the pipeline after the mud replacement is completed; observing the amount of water seepage within the pipeline over 24 hours by recording the amount of water seepage inside the pipeline to determine the sealing performance of the pipeline; and treating local seepage points with chemical grouting to ensure that the amount of water seepage is within the allowable range of the specification, thereby obtaining a pipeline project that meets the sealing requirements.

[0097] Here, according to the standard "Code for Construction and Acceptance of Water Supply and Drainage Pipeline Engineering" (GB50268-2008), the methods for water tightness testing and the allowable leakage volume are specified in detail. According to this standard, during the water tightness test, the leakage volume is usually observed over 24 hours. If the leakage volume exceeds the specified value, the sealing performance is considered unqualified. The specified value is adjusted according to the pipe diameter and the length of the test section. Generally, the leakage volume should not exceed 0.07 cubic meters per kilometer of pipe per day. If localized leaks are found during the water tightness test, methods such as chemical grouting can be used for treatment. This method involves injecting specific chemical substances into the leak point, which quickly solidifies and seals the leak, thereby reducing leakage and meeting the requirements of the standard. Through such testing and treatment measures, the sealing qualification of the pipeline can be effectively judged and guaranteed, ensuring project quality and operational safety.

[0098] In this embodiment, in step S102, the side length of the conductor is controlled within the range of 50-100 meters.

[0099] Secondly, the present invention also provides a technical solution, a pipe jacking construction method, comprising the following steps:

Then, lay out the center line of the shaft and the pipe jacking pipeline. At the same time, set up control points at the bottom of the shaft and install the guide rail system. The installation of the pipe jacking machine must ensure that its axis is aligned with the axis of the guide rail and the main jacking cylinder.

[0101] The installation and commissioning of the pipe jacking machine, including the electrical circuit, oil circuit and mud system, are carried out to ensure that the machine functions properly. The thrust is checked by the standard value of the jacking force to ensure that it meets the jacking requirements. After the pipe jacking machine successfully enters the tunnel, its jacking direction is controlled and corrected to maintain the stability of the jacking direction.

[0102] The soil pressure and slurry parameters at the excavation face are controlled, construction parameters are optimized, and deviations are corrected by regularly monitoring the pipeline axis and elevation. Before the pipe jacking machine head exits the tunnel, the soil in front of the receiving well is reinforced. After the machine head successfully enters the receiving well, the entire pipe jacking construction process is completed.
