[0031] S1. Query the historical water level report to obtain the height of the wooden pile cofferdam, establish a model of the wooden pile cofferdam in the software, set various parameters, and calculate the magnitudes of the loads on the outer wooden piles 2 and the inner wooden piles 1 and the diameters of the wooden piles.

[0032] S2. By querying the geological exploration report and conducting riverbed foundation analysis and calculation, obtain the depths at which the outer wooden piles 2 and the inner wooden piles 1 need to be driven into the riverbed, obtain the lengths of the wooden piles, and finally determine the specification dimensions of the outer wooden piles 2 and the inner wooden piles 1.

[0033] The surveying and setting out of the wooden pile cofferdam structure on the soft riverbed in this application include the following:

[0034] S3. Draw a plan layout of the wooden pile cofferdam structure. The inner wooden piles 1 and the outer wooden piles 2 of the cofferdam are divided into two types: positioning wooden piles and ordinary wooden piles. The positioning wooden piles are the wooden piles used for positioning during the construction of the cofferdam at certain intervals (recommended spacing 25 - 30 m) from the starting and ending wooden piles. Determine the positions of the positioning wooden piles in the drawing, and determine the coordinates of each positioning wooden pile according to the coordinates of the surveying points in the inland area of the site.

[0035] S4. During the survey, use RTK for measurement. Insert colored flags at the positions of the positioning wooden piles as marks. The positions of the colored flags are the center points of the positioning wooden piles, and tighten the thin lines between adjacent colored flags.

[0036] The riverbed dredging of the wooden pile cofferdam structure on the soft riverbed in this application includes the following:

[0037] S5. Before driving the wooden piles, in order to prevent the river bottom silt from affecting the judgment of the driving depth, dredge the riverbed within 2.5 m of the inner and outer walls of the cofferdam. The dredging is carried out by using 2 PC200 excavators equipped with floating boxes. The two excavators are located on the inner and outer walls respectively for construction, and the excavated silt is transferred to other areas through the floating box ship.

[0038] S6. During the construction of the excavator, pay attention to avoiding disturbing the colored flags. During the construction, untie the thin lines of the colored flags near the excavator, and tie them back after the excavator has finished excavating the silt near the colored flags. The silt excavated by the excavator is transferred to the land through the floating box ship, spread out for drying, filtered with a sieve, and can be used for filling after the wooden piles are driven.

[0039] The driving of wooden piles of the wooden pile cofferdam structure on the soft riverbed in this application includes the following:

[0040] S7. The inner timber pile 1 or the outer timber pile 2 is driven by a driving machine with a pontoon. During construction, the driving machine is moved to the vicinity of the inner timber pile 1 or the outer timber pile 2, and the two timber piles are fixed through the rings of the driving machine and driven into the riverbed. The driving machine is fixed, and a pontoon boat is equipped near each driving machine to carry materials such as timber piles, channel steels, and tie rods.

[0041] S8. When driving the inner wooden pile 1 or the outer wooden pile 2, arrange two driving and pulling machines to drive the wooden piles on one side respectively. The driving is carried out in two times. The first time is to drive the positioning wooden piles of the inner wooden pile 1 and the outer wooden pile 2. When driving the positioning wooden piles, first use RTK to remeasure the coordinates of the colored flags at the positioning wooden pile points. After the remeasurement is completed, untie the thin wires from the colored flags and pull them out to drive the positioning wooden piles. After the positioning wooden piles are driven, the verticality of the wooden piles is tested. If they do not meet the requirements, pull them out and drive them again. After the two adjacent positioning wooden piles are driven, nails are driven on the outside of the positioning wooden piles and tied with thin wires. The thin wires are along the outer edges of ordinary wooden piles.

[0042] S9. The second pass is to drive ordinary wooden piles. Ordinary wooden piles are positioned by thin wires between the positioning wooden piles. When driving, the gaps between the wooden piles should be minimized as much as possible. If the gaps are too large, they need to be driven again. After each ordinary wooden pile is driven, the verticality needs to be checked. If the deviation is too large, it needs to be driven again. After the ordinary wooden piles between the two positioning wooden piles are driven, this section of thin wire can be cut off to avoid affecting the subsequent construction.

[0043] The contents of laying colored strips of wood pile cofferdam structure in this soft riverbed in this application include the following:

[0044] S10. After the ordinary wooden piles between the two positioning wooden piles are driven, the colored strips of this section are laid. Before laying the colored strips, it must be checked to ensure that there are no holes. The colored strips are laid 1m towards the land and compacted with clay and tamped.

[0045] S11. The width of the striped cloth must be greater than the circumference of the inner wall of the cofferdam. When two sections of striped cloth are overlapped, the overlapping length shall not be less than 1m.

[0046] S12. After each section of the side colored strip cloth layer 6 is laid, the tie bolts 11, horizontal outer beam 7 and horizontal inner beam 8 of this section are installed. One tie bolt 11 is installed every 2m. During installation, holes are drilled in the inner wooden piles 1, the outer wooden piles 2 and the side colored strip cloth layer 6 of the cofferdam. The tie rod of the tie bolt 11 passes through the horizontal outer beam 7, the horizontal inner beam 8, the wooden piles and the colored strip cloth and is then locked with a nut.

[0047] The layered filling and tamping contents of the wooden pile cofferdam structure for the soft riverbed in this application include the following:

[0048] After the side color-striped cloth layer 6 and the bottom color-striped cloth layer 12 are laid, an excavator with a floating box is used for filling operations. At the earthwork yard on the shore, the excavator loads clay into the floating box ship. The floating box ship sails near the excavator with a floating box, and the excavator fills the inside of the cofferdam with clay. The color-striped cloth floating on the water surface is pressed underwater by the clay, and the water inside the cofferdam is drained outside the cofferdam. Each time 1 m of soil is filled and compacted in five layers.

[0049] The content of laying a dense mesh on the surface of the wooden pile cofferdam structure with a soft riverbed in this application includes the following:

[0050] After the construction of filling and compacting the soil is completed, a layer of dense mesh 5 is laid on the surface of the cofferdam. The dense mesh 5 is fixed to the inner wooden piles 1 and the outer wooden piles 2 with iron nails.

[0051] The content of piling up soil outside the wooden pile cofferdam structure with a soft riverbed in this application includes the following: To improve the water isolation effect of the cofferdam, after the dense mesh is laid, soil 9 is piled up outside the cofferdam. The gaps in the cofferdam are blocked by the piled-up soil 9 to improve the water isolation effect of the cofferdam. The height of the piled-up soil 9 is 1 m, and the construction is carried out by an excavator with a floating box.
