However, affected by the abnormal change of the local hydrogeological conditions of the freezing site and the insufficient fineness of the initial engineering survey, the development quality of the frozen soil curtain often shows anomalies, resulting in the deviation of the frozen soil curtain thickness from the design value and presenting an irregular development trend. If such abnormal development of the frozen soil curtain thickness cannot be captured in time during the freezing process, it will pose a safety hazard for subsequent excavation.
