Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of foundation seepage prevention in water conservancy projects, specifically a digital monitoring method and system for the construction of CSM dual-wheel milling cement-soil mixing walls. Background Technology

[0002] In water conservancy engineering construction, the seepage prevention treatment of the foundations of dikes, sluice gates, and other structures on soft soil foundations has always been a core technical challenge concerning the safety and long-term stability of the project. Especially in coastal and riverine areas, deep soft soil foundations are characterized by high water content, high compressibility, low strength, and poor permeability, making them extremely prone to uneven settlement and seepage damage under load, seriously threatening the safety of the main structure.

[0003] Currently, commonly used seepage prevention technologies in water conservancy projects mainly include high-pressure jet grouting piles, plastic concrete cutoff walls, and cement-soil mixing piles. While these technologies each have their applications, they often face challenges such as insufficient wall depth and continuity, and poor equipment adaptability when dealing with complex strata that are extremely deep, hard, or contain numerous obstacles. In recent years, the twin-wheel milling cement-soil mixing wall (CSM) technology, which integrates the trenching technology of hydraulic milling machines with traditional deep mixing technology, has demonstrated outstanding advantages such as strong stratum adaptability, high efficiency, and good wall quality. It has gradually developed into a key core technology for solving the seepage prevention problem of deep soft foundations and has been widely used in major water conservancy projects.

[0004] However, as a concealed underground engineering construction method, the final quality of the CSM method is difficult to inspect and evaluate directly and comprehensively through the finished product. Currently, quality control during construction relies heavily on the experience and responsibility of construction workers, as well as on-site supervision by supervisors. This people-centric management model is prone to human error and even falsification in the recording of construction parameters (such as milling depth, cement grout injection volume, grouting pressure, and lifting speed), making it difficult to ensure precise proportioning and uniform mixing of the cement-soil mixing wall. This results in inconsistent wall quality and poses a potential long-term safety hazard. Furthermore, the entire process requires significant manpower for monitoring, making it difficult to achieve precise, round-the-clock control.

[0005] Therefore, existing quality management models are no longer sufficient to meet the high standards and reliability requirements of modern water conservancy projects for concealed works such as CSM (cement-soil mixing walls). Developing a digital monitoring system that integrates real-time monitoring, automatic data acquisition, in-depth analysis, and anomaly early warning is crucial for achieving transparency in the construction process, refined parameter control, and objective quality evaluation. It is an inevitable trend to promote the digitalization and intelligentization of water conservancy project construction quality management and ensure the safety of the national water network. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the challenges of controlling the concealed construction process and inconsistent construction quality of CSM cement-soil mixing walls, a digital monitoring method and system for CSM twin-wheel milling cement-soil mixing wall construction is provided. This system enables transparency in the CSM twin-wheel milling cement-soil mixing wall construction process, refined parameter control, and objective quality evaluation.
