Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for installing a sea water intake culvert. Background Art

[0002] A culvert refers to a culvert whose body is built with reinforced concrete box pipe sections. A culvert consists of one or more square or rectangular cross-sections. At present, seawater desalination and direct seawater utilization have become one of the important ways to solve the shortage of fresh water resources in densely populated coastal areas. The seawater at the intake of the box culvert type water intake is relatively deep, and the water intake is not affected by high and low tide levels, and it is suitable for rocky coasts or port and wharf areas where the siltation is not serious. The characteristics of this water intake method are that the culvert is located below the lowest sea water level and is not affected by the change of tide level. However, most of the current box culvert type water intake structures are not convenient to be fixed on the seabed. Before the box culvert type water intake structure is fixed on the bottom of the water, the construction team needs to drive the fixing pillars into the seabed one by one, and then fix the box culvert type water intake structure for seawater desalination on the pillars, resulting in a cumbersome and complex installation and fixing process of the culvert, which brings great inconvenience to the seawater intake operation.

[0003] Therefore, a method for installing a sea water intake culvert is provided. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for installing a sea water intake culvert to overcome the existing defects, and solve the problems of cumbersome and complex installation process of the sea water intake culvert and inconvenient water intake.

[0005] The technical solution to achieve the above purpose is as follows:

[0006] A method for installing a sea water intake culvert includes:

[0007] Step S1, construction preparation, determining the prefabrication site, transportation route and engineering equipment for installation operations;

[0008] Step S2, foundation trench leveling, including foundation trench excavation, rubble bed treatment, cushion bed leveling, cushion installation and culvert bottom bed leveling;

[0009] Step S3, loading the culvert onto the ship, the crane ship anchors and positions beside the culvert prefabrication site, the transport barge docks on one side, and the crane ship hoists and places it in the transport barge;

[0010] Step S4, culvert installation, there are two culverts at the water intake, which are connected from the seawater pump house to the water intake head. Each water intake culvert is divided into three sections, and it is installed from the shore side to the sea side during installation;

[0011] Step S5, installation of the water intake pipe, chemical dosing pipe and chemical dosing pipe trough box;

[0012] Step S6, concrete filled in flexible bags. According to the design requirements, a layer of C40 concrete filled in flexible bags with a thickness of 600 mm and a width of 2 m shall be covered on the top surface and both sides at the interface of the culvert box.

[0013] Step S7, backfilling with rubble. After the installation of the water intake culvert box and passing the acceptance, rubble shall be dumped on the top and both sides of the culvert box to protect the pipes.

[0014] Preferably, in the said Step S1, the construction preparation includes:

[0015] Prefabrication site. The precast culvert box shall be prefabricated under the steel bar shed and at the temporary dock inside the construction site.

[0016] Transportation route. After the precast culvert box is fabricated at the prefabrication site, it shall be hoisted by a 350t fixed jib crane from the prefabrication site and temporarily placed on a 2000t self-propelled transport barge, and then transported to the installation point.

[0017] Select engineering equipment for installation operations, including but not limited to a 350t fixed jib crane, a 2000t self-propelled transport barge, a 1000hp anchor boat, an excavator, a 50t crane boat, a stone material transport boat, diving equipment, a level and a total station.

[0018] Preferably, in the said Step S2, the foundation trench leveling includes:

[0019] Step S21, foundation trench excavation. Before the installation of the water intake culvert box, the existing cofferdam shall be blasted.

[0020] Step S22, treatment of the rubble bed. According to the geological report and design drawings, underwater dumping shall be carried out at the water intake head, and underwater dynamic compaction treatment shall be carried out on the dumped part.

[0021] Step S23, leveling of the cushion block foundation bed and installation of cushion blocks;

[0022] Step S24, leveling of the culvert box bottom foundation bed. After the leveling of the culvert box installation cushion blocks, the leveling of the culvert box bottom foundation bed shall be carried out.

[0023] Preferably, the said Step S22 includes:

[0024] Determine the scope of the foundation dumping treatment of the water intake head. The width of the foundation dumping scope of the water intake head is about 20 m, the length is about 12 m, the maximum dumping depth is about 10 m, and the slope is set at 1:2.

[0025] After the completion of the rubble bed dumping and passing the acceptance, the tamping barge enters the construction site and positions the ship according to the dumping marks.

[0026] Before tamping, the technical personnel shall give a technical disclosure to the construction personnel, explaining the tamping method, technical requirements, quality assurance measures, tamping scope, drop distance of the tamper and the uses of various marks.

[0027] Before construction, trial ramming shall be carried out first to determine the number of ramming passes and the settlement amount of the foundation bed. The number of ramming passes for single-point trial ramming is 6 times, and the settlement amount is 50 mm.

[0028] The foundation bed ramming is the overall ramming of the backfill area. According to the existing mechanical equipment situation, a 50t crawler crane is equipped to hang a rammer to carry out the foundation bed ramming construction. The rammer is a reinforced concrete rammer with a weight of 5.4t, a bottom area of 1.54㎡, a drop height of 3.5m, and a ramming impact energy of 189 kJ / ㎡.

[0029] Before ramming, the foundation bed shall be measured, and the local elevation difference shall not be greater than 30 cm. If it cannot meet the requirements, rough leveling shall be carried out by divers. After meeting the requirements, ramming shall be carried out. Among them, during the ramming process, the ramming scope and the number of ramming passes shall be strictly controlled, and the method of adjacent longitudinal and transverse pressing of half rams shall be adopted.

[0030] After the foundation bed ramming, ramming acceptance shall be carried out. In the construction scope, a 5m section shall be taken for re-ramming once, and the average settlement amount is required not to be greater than 30 mm.

[0031] After ramming, if the foundation bed top surface needs to be supplemented with dumped rubble, when the supplemented dumping area is greater than 1 / 3 of the caisson bottom area or the continuous area is greater than 30㎡ and the thickness is greater than 500 mm, supplementary ramming treatment shall be carried out.

[0032] During the ramming construction, the construction personnel shall make records, and the record content includes but is not limited to the ramming section, ram weight, number of ramming passes, drop height of the ram, overlapping situation, and hydro-meteorological conditions.

[0033] The said step S23 includes:

[0034] Block leveling construction. According to the requirements of the construction drawing, the foundation bed is backfilled with 400 mm thick two-piece stones and gravel for fine leveling, and then the culvert is placed. Among them, culvert connection pads are installed at the culvert joints, and the elevation of the pads is the same as that of the foundation bed.

[0035] The 50t crane ship is anchored and positioned in the foundation trench with the cooperation of the surveying personnel, and the processed leveling frame is placed at the set position.

[0036] The diver dives underwater and inserts the measuring rod of the leveling frame into the measuring conduit of the leveling frame.

[0037] Use a total station to measure the plane position of the leveling frame, and then use a level to measure the elevations of the four corners of the leveling frame. By adjusting the adjusting screws at the four corners of the leveling frame, the horizontal plane of the leveling frame is adjusted to the set elevation, and then bagged gravel is stacked around.

[0038] After the leveling frame is installed in place, remove the measuring rod, and the crane on the 50t crane ship grabs and dumps the two-piece stones on the two-piece stone and gravel transport ship parked beside the crane ship into the leveling frame.

[0039] During the dumping, the elevation of the rock surface is measured while dumping. After the two-piece stones are basically dumped in place, the diver dives underwater and places the No. 5 angle steel on the plane of the leveling frame. The plane condition of the two-piece stones is checked using this angle steel. If any two-piece stones higher than the plane are found, they are manually cleared to a lower place or out of the frame;

[0040] After the rough leveling of the two-piece stones, the diver notifies the water surface to hoist and dump crushed stones by crane. The dumping position and quantity are commanded by the diver underwater in real time. After the crushed stones are dumped on the foundation bed, the diver levels the crushed stone plane with an angle iron scraper;

[0041] After the foundation bed is leveled, inspection and acceptance are carried out. After passing the acceptance, the lifting ship hoists the cushion blocks onto the foundation bed. During the hoisting, the diver marks with the leveling frame underwater and places the cushion blocks at the set positions;

[0042] After the cushion blocks are installed in place, the elevation of the top surface of the cushion blocks is measured again. After passing the inspection, the diver fastens the buckle and installs the leveling frame to the next leveling position;

[0043] The said step S24 includes:

[0044] The guide beam I-beam is placed on both sides of the box culvert cushion block, making the top surface of the I-beam flush with the surface of the cushion block. The surface of the guide beam is adjusted to the designed elevation with adjusting lead screws in the middle of the guide beam;

[0045] After the two side guide beams are installed in place, bagged crushed stones are stacked in the middle and at both ends of the guide beam, and the 50t floating crane hoists and dumps two-piece stones onto the foundation bed;

[0046] During the dumping, the elevation of the rock surface is frequently measured manually. After the two-piece stones are dumped, the diver dives underwater and checks the rock surface condition with a scraper. If any two-piece stones higher than the surface are found, they are cleared to the low-lying areas, and the water surface is commanded to supplement the dumping in the areas where there is a shortage;

[0047] After the two-piece stones are leveled, the diver commands the water surface to dump crushed stones by crane, leveling while dumping until the leveling of this section is completed. After completing one section, continue to level other foundation beds according to the above process;

[0048] Immediately after the foundation bed leveling is completed, acceptance is carried out. The foundation bed after passing the acceptance needs to be protected.

[0049] Preferably, in the said step S3, the maximum weight of the hoisted box culvert is 304t, and a fixed boom lifting ship with a safe lifting load of 350t is selected for the installation operation; the transport barge is selected as a self-propelled deck barge with a load capacity of 2000t and positioning function; the box culverts are installed in the order of taking water box culverts, and 6 box culverts are placed on the barge at a time;

[0050] The ship loading operation process includes:

[0051] For the main lifting hook of Matsushita on the crane ship, hang the wire ropes on both sides of the main lifting hook, and connect the wire rope loops to the lifting points with shackles. Among them, two wire rope heads at the middle lifting point of the culvert box share one shackle.

[0052] After the wire ropes are connected to the lifting points of the culvert box, the crane ship hoists the wire ropes to a taut state, checks the condition of the wire ropes, and after confirming that there is no problem, hoists the culvert box off the quay surface.

[0053] The crane ship moves the ship by means of winching the anchor, hoists the hook after moving the culvert box above the barge, and places the culvert box on the deck of the barge.

[0054] After all the culvert boxes at the same position are loaded onto the ship, the crane ship weighs anchor with the assistance of the anchor boat and moves the crane ship to the installation site, and the transport ship also goes to the installation site together.

[0055] Among them, the culvert box is hoisted at 4 points, and steel core wire ropes with a diameter of 90 mm and a tensile strength of 1870 are selected. During hoisting, a lifting frame is used for hoisting. The culvert box selects steel bars as lifting rings, and steel plate limiters are welded outside the steel bars.

[0056] Preferably, in step S4, the installation of the culvert box includes:

[0057] Excavate a ground anchor in the land area as the mooring point of the crane ship, and cast three anchors at the rear of the crane ship.

[0058] After the crane ship is positioned, move the ship to the outside, and the transport barge docks on one side of the trench. First, insert the measuring rod into the measuring base and adjust it to be perpendicular to the top of the culvert box, and then install the guiding device on the embedded parts.

[0059] First, hook and lift, hoist the culvert box out of the barge and then move it to the installation position.

[0060] The crane ship slowly releases the hook, lowers the culvert box into the water and keeps the top of the culvert box in a state where it does not enter the sea level.

[0061] Connect the wire rope of the winch on the crane ship to the lifting lug on the sea side. Under the command of the surveyor, adjust the position of the culvert box and release the culvert box at a longitudinal distance of about 1 m.

[0062] When the culvert box is about 50 cm close to the bed, stop releasing. Two divers dive into the water at the same time, grope for the actual interface position on both sides of the culvert box, and at the same time command the crane ship to move, slowly approach the culvert box to the drop well until it is inserted into the guide reserved during the fabrication of the drop well.

[0063] The crane ship tightens the front cable rope to make the culvert box closely adhere to the connecting wall of the drop well. The surveying personnel measure the axis of the culvert box according to the measuring rod. After the axis meets the design requirements, the crane ship releases the hook and lowers the culvert box onto the bed.

[0064] The surveyors measure the axis and elevation of the culvert box again. After meeting the design requirements, the diver removes the steel wire rope underwater, and the crane ship lifts the sling out of the water surface. The outer measuring rod is not removed and serves as the guiding rod for installing the next section. Then, the guiding device is removed to complete the installation of this section of the culvert box.

[0065] When installing the second section, follow the above steps until all installations are completed.

[0066] Preferably, in step S5, the chemical dosing pipe is fabricated into a 6m-long pipe section on land according to the specified specifications of the design requirements, and the construction is carried out by flange connection.

[0067] Under the guidance of the diver, place the fabricated pipe section into the chemical dosing box groove, connect and tighten the flanges, and then connect the pipe clamp to the pre-buried connecting bolts to fix the pipeline on the culvert box wall.

[0068] The cover of the chemical dosing pipe groove box is installed on the barge, and the small crane ship, with the cooperation of the diver, hoists and covers it on the opening of the chemical dosing box groove.

[0069] Preferably, in step S6, the formwork bag concrete includes:

[0070] The fabricated formwork bag cloth is laid underwater by the diver at the joint of the culvert box. On the top surface, bagged crushed stones are pressed on the cloth surface, and on both sides, block stones are pressed on the foundation bed.

[0071] The concrete is transported to the side of the trench along the side shoreline by a ground pump truck, and then connected to the onshore pipe orifice by a pipe floating on the water surface with foam floats. The end of the floating pipe is a rubber hose. The diver inserts the end of the rubber hose into the injection port at the bottom layer of the formwork bag cloth, ties it firmly with iron wire, and starts injecting concrete into the bag.

[0072] When the concrete is injected to the height of the injection port, tie the injection port tightly with iron wire, move the pipeline to the upper injection port, and then inject concrete into the formwork bag cloth. After pouring to the top, tie the bag mouth tightly.

[0073] Move the pipeline to the other side for pouring, and finally pour the injection port in the middle of the top surface.

[0074] Preferably, in step S7, the requirements for throwing and filling block stones include: The stone materials are fresh and intact rocks without weathering cracks and can resist seawater corrosion. The wet compressive strength of the rocks is not less than 40MPa, the softening coefficient is not less than 0.85, and the single weight of the thrown block stones is 80 - 150kg.

[0075] Load the stones into the steel wire pockets at the stone yard, and the dock crane hoists the steel wire mesh pockets filled with block stones onto the transport ship and transports them to the construction site.

[0076] The rotary crane ship is positioned on top of the culvert box, the transport ship docks beside the crane ship, and the crane hoists the steel wire mesh pocket filled with stone materials underwater and overturns the stones onto the seabed.

[0077] During the process of throwing and filling, continuously measure the elevation of the rubble surface until a cross-section is completed, and then send divers underwater to trim and roughly level the rubble surface.

[0078] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: Through construction preparation, determine the prefabrication site, transportation route, and engineering equipment for installation operations, foundation trench leveling, including foundation trench excavation, rubble bed treatment, cushion bed leveling, cushion installation, and foundation bed leveling at the bottom of the culvert box, loading the culvert box onto the ship, installing the culvert box, installing the water intake pipe, chemical dosing pipe, and chemical dosing pipe trough box, placing the formwork bag concrete, and backfilling with rubble; This method is convenient for construction, has high reliability, and low investment cost, solving the problems of cumbersome and complex installation processes for the water intake culvert box at sea and inconvenient water intake.

[0091] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0092] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0093] As shown in Table 1, if 4 sections of the water intake box culvert are installed underwater for the project, with a single-section weight of 231t, and 2 sections of the water intake head are installed, with a single-section weight of 299t, then according to the component weight and lifting distance, a 350t fixed derrick crane ship is arranged to arrive at the site for waterborne lifting operations, and a grab dredger is used for reef clearing and leveling of the foundation bed. The water intake box culvert is transported using a 2000t self-propelled transport barge.

[0094]

[0095] Table 1

[0096] As Figures 1-12 shown, a method for installing a water intake box culvert at sea includes:

[0097] Step S1, construction preparation, determining the prefabrication site, transportation route, and engineering equipment for the installation operation.

[0098] In the embodiment, the construction preparation includes:

[0099] Prefabrication site, prefabricating the box culvert under the steel shed inside the construction site and at the temporary wharf;

[0100] Transportation route, after the prefabricated box culvert is made at the prefabrication site, it is lifted from the prefabrication site by a 350t fixed derrick crane ship and temporarily placed on a 2000t self-propelled transport barge, and then transported to the installation point;

[0101] Selecting the engineering equipment for the installation operation includes, but is not limited to, a 350t fixed derrick crane ship, a 2000t self-propelled transport barge, a 1000hp anchor handling tug, an excavator, a 50t crane ship, a stone material transport ship, diving equipment, a level, and a total station, as shown in Table 2.

[0102]

[0103]

[0104] Table 2

[0105] Step S2, leveling the foundation trench, including foundation trench excavation, rubble bedding treatment, leveling of the cushion bedding, installation of cushions, and leveling of the foundation bed at the bottom of the culvert box.

[0106] As Figure 2 shown, leveling the foundation trench includes:

[0107] Step S21, foundation trench excavation. Before installing the water intake culvert box, the existing cofferdam is blasted. For the blasting construction plan and safety precautions, refer to the "Blasting Construction Plan".

[0108] Step S22, rubble bedding treatment. According to the geological report and design drawings, underwater filling is carried out at the water intake head, and underwater dynamic compaction treatment is carried out on the filled part.

[0109] In the embodiment, step S22 includes:

[0110] Determine the scope of underwater filling treatment for the foundation of the water intake head. The width of the underwater filling range of the foundation of the water intake head is about 20m, the length is about 12m, and the maximum filling depth is about 10m (subject to the actual terrain), and the slope is set at 1:2;

[0111] After the rubble bedding is completed and passes the acceptance, the tamping barge enters the construction site and is positioned according to the rubble filling marks.

[0112] Before tamping, the technical personnel give a technical briefing to the construction personnel, explaining the tamping method, technical requirements, quality assurance measures, tamping scope, drop height of the rammer, and the uses of various marks.

[0113] Before construction, trial tamping is carried out first to determine the number of tamping passes and settlement of the foundation bed. The number of tamping passes for single-point trial tamping is 6 times, and the settlement is 50mm.

[0114] The foundation bed tamping is the overall tamping of the filled area. According to the existing mechanical equipment, a 50t crawler crane is equipped to hang and hoist the rammer for foundation bed tamping construction. The rammer is a reinforced concrete rammer. As Figure 3 shown, the weight of the rammer is 5.4t, the bottom area is 1.54㎡, the drop height is 3.5m, and the tamping impact energy is 189kJ / ㎡;

[0115] Before tamping, the foundation bed is measured, and the local height difference is not more than 30cm. If it cannot meet the requirement, rough leveling should be carried out by divers. After meeting the requirement, tamping is carried out. Among them, during the tamping process, strictly control the tamping scope and number of tamping passes, and adopt the method of adjacent longitudinal and transverse pressing with half ramming; to strictly control the impact energy of the rammer, make obvious marks on the steel wire rope; strictly control the correct position of the rammer, make marks on the anchor cable to control the forward distance of the moving barge; make an arc-shaped guide frame similar to the tamping track of the rammer and fix it on the bow of the barge, and make marks on the guide frame to control the correct position of each rammer;

[0116] After the foundation bed is tamped, a tamping acceptance test shall be carried out. In a 5m section within the construction area, re-tamp once (the tamp hammers are arranged tangentially without overlapping half a tamp), and the average settlement shall not be greater than 30mm.

[0117] After tamping, if riprap needs to be filled on the top surface of the foundation bed, when the filled area is greater than 1 / 3 of the caisson bottom area or the continuous area is greater than 30㎡ and the thickness is greater than 500mm, re-tamping treatment shall be carried out.

[0118] During the tamping construction, the construction personnel shall make records, and the record content shall include but not be limited to the tamping section, hammer weight, tamping times, drop height of the hammer, overlapping situation and hydro-meteorological conditions.

[0119] Step S23: Level the cushion foundation bed and install the cushion blocks.

[0120] In the embodiment, step S23 includes:

[0121] For the cushion leveling construction, according to the requirements of the construction drawing, the foundation bed is filled with 400mm thick two-piece stones and gravel for fine leveling, and then the culvert is placed. Among them, culvert connection pads are installed at the joints of the culverts, and the elevation of the pads is the same as that of the foundation bed.

[0122] With the cooperation of surveyors, anchor and position a 50t crane ship in the foundation trench, and place the processed leveling frame at the set position.

[0123] The diver dives underwater and inserts the measuring rod of the leveling frame into the measuring conduit of the leveling frame.

[0124] Measure the plane position of the leveling frame with a total station, and then measure the elevations of the four corners of the leveling frame with a level. By adjusting the adjusting screw rods at the four corners of the leveling frame, adjust the transverse plane of the leveling frame to the set elevation, and then stack bagged gravel around to ensure the stability of the frame, as Figure 4 shown;

[0125] After the leveling frame is installed in place, remove the measuring rod, and use the crane on the 50t crane ship to grab and throw the two-piece stones on the two-piece stone and gravel transport ship parked beside the crane ship into the leveling frame.

[0126] During the throwing and filling, measure the stone surface elevation while throwing. When the two-piece stones are basically thrown and filled in place, the diver dives underwater, places a 5-angle steel on the plane of the leveling frame, and uses the angle steel to check the plane condition of the two-piece stones. If any two-piece stones higher than the plane are found, clean them manually to a lower place or out of the frame.

[0127] After the rough leveling of the two-piece stones, the diver notifies the water surface to use the crane to throw and fill gravel. The throwing position and quantity are commanded by the diver underwater in real time. After the gravel is thrown and filled on the foundation bed, the diver uses an angle iron scraping ruler to level the gravel plane.

[0128] After the bed leveling is completed, it shall be inspected and accepted according to the standard 4.4.7.3 in the "Quality Inspection Standard for Waterway Engineering" (JTS257-2008). After passing the acceptance, the lifting vessel shall lift and place the cushion blocks onto the bed. During the lifting and placing, the diver shall, underwater and with the leveling frame as a mark, place the cushion blocks at the set positions;

[0129] After the cushion blocks are installed in place, measure the elevation of the top surface of the cushion blocks again. After passing the inspection, the diver shall fasten the connection and install the leveling frame at the next leveling position.

[0130] In the embodiment, the technical requirements for the leveling of the cushion block bed: The thickness of the cushion block bed for the water intake culvert is 20 cm, and the plane size is 5×2×0.2 m; According to the requirements of 8.4.1 in the "Code for Design and Construction of Gravity Wharves" (JTS167-2-2009), the requirement for widening each side of the bed leveling by 50 cm, so the width of the leveling of the cushion block bed is 6.2×3 m, and the leveling standard is extremely fine leveling.

[0131] Step S24, leveling the bed at the bottom of the culvert. After leveling the cushion blocks for the installation of the culvert, level the bed at the bottom of the culvert. The width at the bottom of the culvert for water intake is 5 m, and it shall be leveled with a 0.5 m widening on each side according to the specification requirements. Use 20a I-beams as the leveling guide beams, and take the erection schematic diagram of the water intake culvert, as Figure 5 shown.

[0132] In the embodiment, step S24 includes:

[0133] Place the guide beam I-beams on both sides of the cushion blocks of the culvert, making the top surface of the I-beams flush with the surface of the cushion blocks, and adjust the surface of the guide beam to the design elevation with adjusting screws inside the guide beam;

[0134] After the guide beams on both sides are installed in place, stack bagged crushed stones in the middle and at both ends of the guide beams, and use a 50t floating crane to throw two-piece stones onto the bed;

[0135] During the throwing, the diver shall frequently measure the elevation of the stone surface manually. After the two-piece stones are thrown, the diver shall dive underwater and use a scraping ruler to check the situation of the stone surface. If any protruding two-piece stones are found, they shall be cleared to the low-lying areas, and the water surface shall be directed to supplement the throwing in the places where there is a shortage;

[0136] After the two-piece stones are leveled, the diver shall direct the water surface to throw and fill crushed stones with a crane, leveling while throwing until the leveling of this section is completed. After completing one section, continue to level other beds according to the above process;

[0137] Immediately conduct an acceptance inspection after the bed leveling is completed. The bed that has passed the acceptance inspection needs to be protected.

[0138] Step S3, loading the culvert onto the ship. The lifting vessel anchors and positions beside the prefabrication site of the culvert, and the transport barge docks on one side. The lifting vessel lifts and places it into the transport barge.

[0139] In the embodiment, the maximum weight of the hoisted box culvert is 304t, and a fixed-arm crane with a safe lifting load of 350t is selected for installation; a self-propelled deck barge with a load of 2000t and a positioning function is selected as the transport barge; the box culvert is installed in the order of the water intake box culvert, and 6 box culverts are placed on the barge at a time. The water intake box culvert barge is transported according to the schematic diagram, as shown in the figure. Figure 6 As shown;

[0140] The loading operation process includes:

[0141] The crane ship loosens the main hook, hangs the wire rope on both sides of the main hook, and connects the rope buckle of the wire rope to the lifting point with a shackle. The two wire buckle heads of the lifting point in the middle of the box culvert share one shackle.

[0142] After the wire rope is connected to the lifting point of the box culvert, the crane vessel will lift the wire rope to a taut state, check the condition of the wire rope, and lift the box culvert away from the dock after confirming that it is correct;

[0143] The crane ship moves the ship by winching the anchor. After the box culvert is moved above the barge, the crane ship releases the hook and places the box culvert on the deck of the barge.

[0144] After all the box culverts at the same location are loaded on board, the crane ship weighs anchor with the assistance of the anchor boat and moves the crane ship to the installation site, and the transport ship also goes to the installation site together;

[0145] Among them, the box culvert uses 4-point lifting, and uses a steel core wire rope with a diameter of 90mm and a tensile strength of 1870. The hanger is used for lifting. The box culvert uses steel bars as lifting rings, and welds steel plate limit plates on the outside of the steel bars. The schematic diagram of the water box culvert lifting is as follows: Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the design drawing of box culvert lifting ring is as follows: Figure 8 shown.

[0146] Step S4, box culvert installation. There are two box culverts in the water intake, which are connected from the seawater pump room to the water intake head. Each water intake box culvert is divided into three sections. When installing, it is installed from the shore side to the sea side. The installation sequence is as follows: Figure 9 shown.

[0147] In the embodiment, the box culvert installation includes:

[0148] A ground bull was dug on land to serve as a mooring point for the crane ship, and three anchors were dropped at the rear of the crane ship;

[0149] After the crane ship is positioned, move the ship to the outside, and the transport barge is docked on one side of the trench. First, insert the measuring rod into the measuring base and adjust it to be vertical to the top of the box culvert, and then install the guide device on the embedded parts;

[0150] First, lift the box culvert out of the barge by hook lifting and move it to the location where it needs to be installed;

[0151] The crane ship slowly releases the hook, lowering the culvert into the water and keeping the top of the culvert above the sea level;

[0152] Connect the winch wire rope on the crane ship to the lifting lug on the sea side. Under the command of the surveyor, adjust the position of the culvert and release it at intervals of about 1 m longitudinally;

[0153] When the culvert is about 50 cm close to the foundation bed, stop releasing. Two divers dive underwater simultaneously, feel for the actual interface positions on both sides of the culvert, and at the same time command the crane ship to move, slowly approaching the culvert to the drop well until it is inserted into the guide reserved during the fabrication of the drop well;

[0154] The crane ship tightens the front cable, pressing the culvert tightly against the connecting wall of the drop well. The surveyors measure the axis of the culvert using a measuring rod. After the axis meets the design requirements, the crane ship releases the hook, lowering the culvert onto the foundation bed;

[0155] The surveyors measure the axis and elevation of the culvert again. After meeting the design requirements, the divers remove the wire rope underwater. The crane ship lifts the sling out of the water. The outer measuring rod is not removed and serves as the guiding rod for installing the next section. The guiding device is removed, completing the installation of this section of the culvert;

[0156] When installing the second section, follow the above steps until all installations are completed.

[0157] Step S5, installation of the dosing pipe for the water intake pipe and the dosing pipe trough box.

[0158] In the embodiment, the dosing pipe is fabricated into 6 - m - long pipe sections on land according to the specified specifications and constructed using flange connection;

[0159] Under the guidance of the divers, place the fabricated pipe sections into the dosing box trough, connect and tighten the flanges, and then connect the pipe clamps to the embedded connecting bolts to fix the pipeline on the culvert wall;

[0160] The cover of the dosing pipe trough box is installed on the barge and hoisted by a small crane ship with the cooperation of divers to cover the opening of the dosing box trough.

[0161] Step S6, placing shotcrete - filled fabric forms. As required by the design, a layer of C40 shotcrete - filled fabric forms with a thickness of 600 mm and a width of 2 m is to be covered on the top surface and both sides at the interface of the culvert.

[0162] In the embodiment, the shotcrete - filled fabric forms include:

[0163] The fabricated shotcrete - filled fabric forms are laid underwater by divers at the joint of the culvert. On the top surface, crushed stones in bags are pressed on the fabric, and on both sides, boulders are pressed on the foundation bed;

[0164] The concrete is transported to the side of the trench along the side shoreline by a ground pump truck, and then connected to the onshore pipe orifice with a pipe floating on the water surface by foam floating clips. The end of the floating pipe is a rubber hose. Divers insert the end of the rubber hose into the injection orifice at the bottom layer of the formwork fabric, tie it firmly with wire, and start injecting concrete into the bag;

[0165] When the concrete is injected to the height of the injection orifice, tie the injection orifice tightly with wire, move the pipe to the upper injection orifice, and then inject concrete into the formwork fabric. After pouring to the top, tie the bag mouth tightly;

[0166] Move the pipe to the other side for pouring, and finally pour the injection orifice in the middle of the top surface, as Figure 10 shown.

[0167] Step S7, backfill with riprap. After the installation and acceptance of the water tank culvert, riprap for protecting the pipe needs to be dumped on the top and both sides of the culvert, as Figure 11 shown.

[0168] In the embodiment, the requirements for dumping riprap include: the stones are fresh and intact, without weathering and cracking, and can resist seawater corrosion. The wet compressive strength of the rock is not less than 40 MPa, the softening coefficient is not less than 0.85, and the single weight of the dumped riprap is 80 - 150 kg;

[0169] Load the stones into the steel wire pockets at the stone yard, and the quay crane lifts the steel wire mesh pockets filled with stones onto the transport ship and transports them to the construction site;

[0170] Position the rotary crane ship on top of the culvert. The transport ship docks beside the crane ship, and use the crane to lift the steel wire mesh pocket filled with stones underwater and dump the stones onto the seabed;

[0171] During the dumping process, continuously measure the elevation of the riprap surface until a section is dumped. Then, divers dive underwater to trim and roughly level the riprap surface.
