Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pipe jacking construction technology, specifically relating to a construction method for receiving a rectangular jacking pipe inside a submerged pipe. Background Technology

[0002] Pipe jacking reception refers to the construction process from trial pipe jacking to the complete entry of the pipe jacking machine into the receiving well. Pipe jacking reception technology is one of the key technologies in pipe jacking construction and a key indicator of the success or failure of the project. Conventionally, the receiving well is located on land, with the retaining structure constructed using the open-cut method. Receiving steel rings are pre-embedded in the structure. After the pipe jacking machine is completely removed, it is lifted out using a crane, followed by a secondary sealing. For receiving rectangular pipe jackings over water, a receiving well often needs to be constructed, which can easily lead to problems such as flood control and navigation channel diversion due to excessive water resistance during construction.

[0008] S4, Mortar backfilling: Mortar is backfilled in the area between the end sealing gate of the immersed tube and the receiving steel ring to form a mortar backfilling section;

[0009] S5, Underwater removal of end seal: Cut the end seal underwater and lift it out;

[0010] S6, Sand blowing and backfilling: Sand blowing and backfilling is carried out from the top line of the slope excavation of the foundation trench to the end sealing gate. This includes using a transport ship to transport sand to the funnel via a conveyor belt, and then the sand is transferred to the foundation trench area through the funnel guide pipe to form the sand blowing and backfilling section.

[0011] S7, End reinforcement construction: The end is reinforced using a three-axis water mixing pile.

[0012] S8. Construction of the anti-anchoring layer: Barge transportation and grab dredger backfilling are used to form the anti-anchoring layer; during the construction process, the vessel position and water depth are frequently measured to control the amount of backfilling and avoid overfilling.

[0013] S9, Pipe jacking machine arrives: After the pipe jacking machine arrives at the designated stopping position, first, the pipe jacking sections within the sinking pipe range are consolidated and reinforced by grouting. Then, the pipe jacking machine is used to detach the equipment from the pipe jacking sections by using the detachment cylinder. Finally, the well joint is cast in place.

[0014] S10, Dismantling of the pipe jacking machine inside the tunnel: The machine is dismantled using the pre-embedded lifting rings of the immersed pipe sections, electric hoists, and manual labor. Before dismantling, the screw conveyor is removed and lifted out of the starting shaft. Then, the front, middle, rear, upper and lower shells of the pipe jacking machine are disassembled, and the equipment is transported to the ground using a flatbed transport vehicle.

[0015] As an optional implementation of the above technical solution, step S1 includes the following steps:

[0033] S54, Underwater Cutting Technology: Divers descend with gas cutting equipment. One hand holds the cutting torch, and the other hand holds the cutting blade. The cutting blade is inserted into the cutting torch jaws and tightened. Then the cutting blade is placed on the cutting point. During cutting, oxygen is turned on while power is supplied to ignite an arc for cutting.

[0034] As an optional implementation of the above technical solution, in step S52, the lifting point is made of round steel.

[0035] As an optional implementation of the above technical solution, step S7 includes the following steps:

[0036] S71, Measurement and Positioning: Personnel on board direct the ship to move and anchor for positioning, with anchor boats assisting in anchoring. During the ship-moving process, the personnel directing the anchoring control the raising and lowering of four anchor winches. Two GPS devices are arranged at both ends of the ship. The surveying personnel communicate closely with the personnel directing the anchoring to reduce the ship-moving time. Before drilling, the elevation of the ship's deck or sea surface is measured to determine the drilling depth.

[0037] S72, Pile driver positioning: Move the mixing pile driver to the pile position, align the drill bit with the center point of the already marked pile position; after the pile driver is moved, check the positioning and correct it in time, the deviation value is less than 5cm; and use a plumb bob to check the verticality of the pile driver, the verticality is less than 1%.

[0038] S73, Grouting and Mixing Drilling: After the verticality and mud specific gravity are checked and meet the requirements, turn on the grouting pump, start the motor, and begin mixing and sinking the grouting; strictly control the sinking speed and grouting flow rate during the drilling process.

[0039] S74, the cement mixer is lowered to the designed depth and stays at the bottom of the hole for 3 minutes to mix and spray grout. Then it is raised and sprayed grout again to mix until the silt surface is reached.

[0042] As an optional implementation of the above technical solution, step S9 includes the following steps:

[0043] S91, Receiving Preparation: The distance between the pipe jacking machine and the receiving shaft door is taken as the receiving section. Surveyors are arranged to re-measure the attitude of the pipe jacking machine and make timely attitude corrections based on the re-measurement results to ensure the safe exit of the pipe jacking machine from the tunnel.

[0044] S92, Grout consolidation: After the first ring pipe section is jacked to the designed pipe position, cement grout is injected through the pre-embedded grouting pipe to consolidate the thixotropic mud behind the pipe section;

[0045] S93, Pipe-machine separation: The pipe jacking machine uses its own pipe-detaching cylinder to jack away from the first ring pipe section. After the pipe jacking machine is separated from the pipe section, there is a long time before the concrete pouring of the portal ring, and the gap between the portal steel ring and the pipe section is large. After the pipe jacking machine is separated, steel plates are immediately used to seal the gap between the portal steel ring and the pipe section.

[0046] S94, Well Joint Construction: After the pipe jacking machine and negative ring pipe section are removed, well joint construction is carried out; before the construction of the portal ring at the starting well, the steel sleeve of the socket opening is cut off first, and then the well joint reinforcement is welded according to the design requirements, and the well joint concrete is constructed.

[0049] S102, Dismantling the cutterhead: Before dismantling, an electric hoist is installed on the pre-embedded lifting ring of the immersed tube. To prevent the cutterhead from swaying left and right during dismantling, two horizontal lifting rings are used to pull it closer and fix it. The dismantling sequence is from top to bottom. The tube is then transported to the ground through the immersed tube section tunnel using a flatbed truck.

[0050] S103, Removal of the Upper and Lower Front Shields: First, remove the upper front shield. Install electric hoists at positions D, E, F, G, H, and I of the pre-embedded lifting rings on the immersed tube section. Remove the connecting bolts between the upper and lower front shields.

Detailed Implementation

[0059] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a construction method for receiving a rectangular jacking pipe inside an immersed tube, including the following steps:

[0060] S1, Prefabrication of Immersed Tunnel Section 1: Immersed tunnel section 1 is prefabricated as a whole in the dry dock. In order to meet the design linear requirements and to take into account the receiving and dismantling needs of the jacking machine 9 inside the immersed tunnel, the width and height of each side of the immersed tunnel section 1 are increased by 1.25m, and the length is 17m. A receiving steel ring 2 is installed 6m away from the end sealing gate 7 of the immersed tunnel.

[0061] Step S1 above includes the following steps:

[0062] S11, Dry dock construction: Construct the dry dock retaining structure, excavate and construct the slope protection simultaneously, excavate to the foundation and construct the subbase until the dry dock structure is fully completed;

[0063] S12, Installation of steel reinforcement for immersed tunnel section 1: The steel reinforcement for immersed tunnel section 1 is made into a semi-finished product at the processing plant. The semi-finished product is transported to the dry dock using a flatbed truck. The bottom slab, wall and top slab reinforcement are tied on site in sequence. The reinforcement is mechanically connected. After the reinforcement is tied and passes the inspection, concrete is poured.

[0064] S13, Installation of Formwork for Immersed Tunnel Section 1: The outer formwork is bolted together piece by piece to form a whole; a spatial truss reinforcement system composed of vertical and horizontal trusses is adopted, with tie rod trusses at the top for left and right tension. The inner formwork consists of the inner formwork main truss, formwork frame, formwork, hydraulic jacking system, hydraulic lateral movement system, and longitudinal (or transverse) travel system, with a total length of 19.5 meters. Hydraulic assembly and disassembly devices are installed on both sides of the formwork, and it is reinforced with threaded rod supports. The inner formwork is supported by the front and rear outriggers through the main truss, transferring the load to the foundation.

[0065] S14, Concrete pouring for the first immersed tunnel section: Ready-mixed concrete was used, delivered and placed into the formwork using a 52-meter concrete pump truck. During concrete pouring, the concrete was poured evenly in layers from top to bottom, with each layer not exceeding 30cm in height, and the interval between pours not exceeding the initial setting time. An extended immersion vibrator was used for compaction; the vibration was synchronized with the concrete pouring layers, with each layer vibrating in its designated area. The vibration method involved rapid insertion and slow lifting, with each vibration lasting approximately 45 seconds. Vibration points were arranged in a staggered pattern, spaced approximately 0.3m apart, and proceeded sequentially to avoid any missed or under-vibration.

[0066] S15, Concrete curing of immersed tunnel section 1: The bottom slab and top slab should be cured immediately after initial setting by covering with geotextile and spraying water for moisturizing. The wall concrete should also be watered immediately before the formwork is removed. After the formwork is removed, it should be covered with geotextile and sprayed with water for moisturizing. The curing time should not be less than 14 days.

[0067] S16, Installation of End Sealing Gate 7 for Immersed Tube: End sealing gate 7 and connecting frame are processed and installed separately. The connecting frame (including anchoring steel bars) and end sealing gate 7 are processed as a whole in the factory, transported in sections, and assembled on site. Before the concrete is poured at both ends of the pipe section, the connecting frame is installed on the jig, the slope is initially adjusted and connected to the pipe section steel bars. After all the concrete of the pipe section is poured and observed to be stable, the slope is adjusted for the second time, the end sealing gate 7 is installed, and pressure grouting is performed in the formed cavity.

[0068] S2, Foundation reinforcement and trench 6 excavation: Foundation reinforcement is carried out by deep cement mixing piles (DCM). The "dredging, transportation and dumping" construction is organized by using grab dredgers with several mud barges. The grab dredgers dredge mud to the mud barges, and after the mud barges are filled, they transport the mud to the designated dumping area for dumping.

[0069] S3, Immersed Tunnel Sinking and Locking: After being towed and floated to the tunnel site by a tugboat fleet and moored, the main processes include tunnel segment sinking, tunnel segment docking, tunnel segment ballast stabilization, tunnel segment axis connection measurement, outfitting component removal, and assembly.

[0070] S4, Mortar backfilling: After the immersed tube is sunk and locked, mortar backfilling is carried out in the area from the end sealing gate 7 to the receiving steel ring 2 of the immersed tube section. M5 mortar pump is used for backfilling to form mortar backfilling section 4.

[0071] Step S4 above includes the following steps:

[0072] S41, roughening and cleaning inside the immersed tube: roughen the bottom plate, side walls and top plate within the range from the end sealing door 7 to the receiving steel ring 2, with a roughening area of ​​not less than 75%, roughen to the rough material, and clean it.

[0073] S42, Formwork support: The mortar backfilling is completed in two stages, and the formwork support is also completed in two stages; the formwork adopts a combination steel formwork, and uses 20A steel as back ribs + structural embedded sleeves as tie rods;

[0074] S43, Mortar backfilling: The mortar is transported to the working face using a concrete truck and pumped to the backfill area using a ground pump. The first pouring height is 3.6m. After the first pouring of mortar reaches the required strength, the top of the mortar is roughened and cleaned before the second mortar pouring. To ensure that the mortar is poured fully, the top is grouted using a pre-embedded pump pipe.

[0075] S5, underwater removal of end sealing door 7: the end sealing door 7 is cut by underwater gas cutting by divers and lifted out vertically by the crane vessel.

[0076] Step S5 above includes the following steps:

[0077] S51, Construction preparation: 100t crane vessel, gas cutting equipment, and divers are in place;

[0078] S52, Lifting point welding: The end sealing gate is divided into 4 sections in the horizontal and vertical directions. Considering the balance of underwater lifting, 2 lifting points are welded on each section. The lifting points are made of Φ32 round steel.

[0079] S53, End Seal Gate 7 Removal: Position the 100t crane vessel, install the cutting and lifting equipment for End Seal Gate 7, ensuring the lifting ropes are not slack. Cut from top to bottom, removing the gate piece by piece.

[0080] S54, Underwater Cutting Technology: The cutting diver descends carrying a cutting torch. Holding the torch in one hand and a cutting blade in the other, the diver inserts the blade into the torch jaws, tightens it, and then places the blade at the cutting point. During cutting, to prevent blockage of the blade's inner hole, oxygen must be activated simultaneously with power supply to ignite the arc and begin cutting.

[0081] S6, Sand blowing and backfilling: The sand blowing and backfilling area is mainly from the top line of the slope excavation of the foundation trench 6 to the end sealing gate 7. A special chute boat and belt conveyor boat are used for backfilling. That is, the belt conveyor boat transports sand to the funnel through the conveyor belt, and the sand is then transferred to the area of ​​the foundation trench 6 through the funnel guide pipe to form the sand blowing and backfilling section 5.

[0082] S7, End reinforcement construction: End reinforcement adopts water-based three-axis mixing pile reinforcement, with a 2-mixing and 2-spraying construction process;

[0083] Step S7 above includes the following steps:

[0084] S71, Measurement and Positioning: A designated person on board directs the ship's movement and anchoring positioning, with an anchor boat assisting in anchoring. During the ship movement process, the person directing the anchoring controls the raising and lowering of four anchor winches. Two GPS devices are positioned at both ends of the ship. The surveying personnel and the person directing the anchoring communicate closely to minimize the ship movement time. Before drilling, the elevation of the ship's deck or sea surface is measured to determine the drilling depth.

[0085] S72, Pile Driver Positioning: Move the mixing pile driver to the pile location, aligning the drill bit with the center point of the already marked pile location. After the pile driver is moved, carefully check the positioning and correct it promptly; the deviation should be less than 5cm. Use a plumb bob to check the verticality of the pile driver; the verticality should be less than 1%.

[0086] S73, Grouting and Mixing During Drilling: After verifying that the verticality and mud specific gravity meet the requirements, turn on the grouting pump, start the motor, and begin mixing and grouting during drilling. Strictly control the descent speed and grouting flow rate during the drilling process.

[0087] S74, the cement mixer is lowered to the designed depth and stays at the bottom of the hole for 3 minutes to mix and spray grout. Then it is raised and sprayed grout again to mix until the silt surface is reached.

[0088] S75, repeat step S74 once;

[0089] S76, Pile Driver Relocation: Clean all remaining cement slurry in the pipelines until they are basically clean, and clean the soft soil adhering to the mixing head. Move the pile driver to the next hole location until all piles are completed.

[0090] S8, Construction of Anti-Anchoring Layer 8: Barge transportation and grab dredger backfilling are adopted. During the construction process, the ship position and water depth are frequently measured, and the amount of backfilling is strictly controlled to avoid overfilling as much as possible.

[0091] S9, Pipe Jacking Machine 9 Arrives: After the pipe jacking machine 9 reaches the designated stopping position, it first performs consolidation grouting reinforcement on the pipe sections within the sinking pipe range, then uses the pipe jacking machine 9 to disengage the hydraulic cylinder to separate the equipment from the pipe sections, and finally constructs the well joint.

[0092] Step S9 above includes the following steps:

[0093] S91, Receiving Preparation: The distance between the pipe jacking machine 9 and the receiving shaft door is 10 rings (15m) as the receiving section. Arrange surveyors to re-measure the attitude of the pipe jacking machine 9 and make timely attitude corrections based on the re-measurement results to ensure the safe exit of the pipe jacking machine 9 from the tunnel.

[0094] S92, Grout consolidation: After the first ring pipe section is jacked to the designed pipe position, cement grout is injected through the pre-embedded grouting pipe to consolidate the thixotropic mud behind the pipe section;

[0095] S93, Pipe-machine separation: The pipe jacking machine 9 uses its own pipe-detaching cylinder 18 to jack away from the first ring pipe section. After the pipe jacking machine 9 is separated from the pipe section, there is a long time before the concrete pouring of the tunnel portal ring, and the gap between the tunnel portal steel ring and the pipe section is large. After the pipe jacking machine 9 is separated, steel plates are immediately used to seal the gap between the tunnel portal steel ring and the pipe section.

[0096] S94, Well Joint Construction: After the pipe jacking machine 9 and the negative ring pipe section are removed, well joint construction is carried out. Before the construction of the portal ring at the starting well, the steel sleeve of the socket opening must be cut off first, and then the well joint reinforcement is welded according to the design requirements, and the well joint concrete is constructed.

[0097] S10, dismantling of the pipe jacking machine 9 inside the tunnel: dismantling is carried out by using the pre-embedded lifting ring 3 of the immersed pipe section 1, electric hoist, and manual labor. Before dismantling, the screw conveyor 10 is removed and lifted out from the starting shaft.
