Description

Technical Field

[0002] At present, construction cofferdams are required in channel excavation construction to provide a corresponding construction environment for subsequent procedures. Especially in channel expansion construction projects, not only the complex water environment but also the navigation requirements must be considered, which makes the implementation of cofferdams more difficult. At present, the commonly used cofferdam structures in channel expansion construction are steel sheet pile cofferdams and steel pipe pile cofferdams. However, steel sheet pile cofferdams are generally suitable for shallow water depths and cannot be used as cofferdams for deep-water channel expansion construction. Steel pipe pile cofferdams can be used as deep-water construction cofferdams, but due to the certain gap between the steel pipes, the cofferdam is easily deformed under the action of water pressure, which makes it more difficult to seal the water. The water sealing layer needs to be repaired many times during the implementation process, which leads to increased costs. Utility Model Content
