Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of borehole wall protection technology, specifically a borehole wall stabilizing sleeve for soft formations. Background Technology
[0002] The backfilled soil foundation has a loose structure and complex composition, containing loose materials such as quarry rock and concrete. The pile foundation construction process presents numerous problems, including easy borehole collapse and difficulties in equipment drilling, necessitating the implementation of wall protection measures. Conventional wall protection methods include mud slurry wall protection or steel casing wall protection.
[0003] However, due to varying actual construction needs, the drilling depth must be adapted to the specific requirements, resulting in boreholes of different depths. The fixed length of the sleeve cannot be used for boreholes of different depths. When the sleeve length is less than the borehole depth, it cannot effectively protect the borehole wall. When the sleeve length is greater than the borehole depth, a portion of the sleeve will be exposed above the ground surface. In this case, the fixed length of the sleeve reduces its applicability and thus decreases its flexibility in practical use. Utility Model Content
