Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tunnel engineering and relates to an integrally retractable combined pipe curtain device and a construction method. Background Art
[0002] The pipe curtain method involves creating a horizontal curtain of construction in the ground. It typically relies on a small-diameter pipe jacking machine to jack a single pipe. The pipes are then connected by interlocking joints to form a closed or semi-closed curtain. Trenchless construction is then achieved within the curtain enclosure. Pipe curtain construction can effectively support shallow, large-section tunnels, and complex geological conditions. It is the safest and most effective method for excavating large-diameter, short-distance, shallow-depth tunnels. It offers advantages such as no road reconstruction, no disruption to surface traffic, no pipeline rerouting, no groundwater extraction, and no need to reinforce building foundations or pile foundations. With the rapid construction of highways, subways, intercity railways, and high-speed railways, the number of intersecting transportation facilities has increased. Crossing highways and high-speed railways, in particular, imposes extremely stringent settlement control standards. In recent years, pipe curtain technology has seen increasing application, creating a significant market opportunity. However, the efficiency of pipe curtain construction is hampered by the heavy workload of cutting, connecting, and welding the pipe curtains, the inconvenience of returning the pipe curtain machine to its starting position, and long construction periods.
[0003] The combined pipe curtain technology is developed based on the single-tube pipe curtain method. It can combine multiple small-section pipe jacking machines into a pipe curtain structure, which greatly improves construction. It can be customized according to different geological conditions and construction requirements, effectively overcoming the problem of heavy workload of steel pipe cutting and welding in the single-tube pipe curtain method. However, the problem of the inconvenience of the pipe curtain machine returning to the starting position remains to be solved. Summary of the Invention
