Description

[0002] At present, in our country, the construction of pumped storage power station, the construction of water diversion inclined shaft generally adopts drill and blast method. However, drill and blast method construction has many shortcomings, mainly including: the difficulty of orientation control in the construction process, leading to the difficulty of controlling the shape of the hole; the flatness of the excavated hole is poor, and there are generally overbreak and underbreak problems; construction speed is slow; and construction safety is poor. These problems seriously restrict the safe and efficient construction of the water diversion inclined shaft of pumped storage power station, so that the water diversion inclined shaft often becomes the key line of project construction, increasing the risk and cost of the project.

TBM construction has the advantages of speed, quality, safety, economy, environmental protection and labor protection. Especially its efficient and fast construction capacity can make the project finish ahead of schedule, thus creating economic value in advance. TBM shows significant advantages in excavation efficiency, construction period, safety, surrounding rock stability, excavation accuracy and flatness. For the inclined shaft project with a lower shaped chamber, a small diameter vertical shaft can be excavated by a reverse drilling machine first, and then a reaming TBM is used to expand the water diversion inclined shaft, which not only provides a free surface for the expansion of the water diversion inclined shaft, but also provides a slag sliding channel for the top-down excavation.

The existing non-blasting rock breaking technology, especially the inclined shaft reaming tunneling machine technology, represents an important direction of the development of inclined shaft construction technology. This technology has the advantages of low safety risk, high construction efficiency, small disturbance to surrounding rock and high degree of mechanization. However, in China, the application of inclined shaft reaming tunneling machine is not widespread, and there is no successful case of using inclined shaft reaming tunneling machine to construct water diversion inclined shaft.
