This invention relates to the field of
tunnel boring machine (TBM) construction technology, specifically disclosing a construction method for a TBM tunnel crossing an existing
railway line in complex geological conditions, comprising the following steps: S1: Comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the TBM equipment, including inspection and targeted replacement of the cutters; S2: Based on the geological conditions of the crossing section, the burial depth of the existing
railway line, and the clearance between the TBM section and the existing
railway line, setting parameters for cutterhead rotation speed, soil
chamber pressure, total thrust, tunneling speed, and excavated
soil volume for different crossing sections to ensure stable soil
chamber pressure and reduce pressure fluctuations; S3: Employing a combination of deep-hole grouting, synchronous grouting, secondary grouting, radial grouting of the shield body, and advanced grouting to fill the gaps in the TBM tunneling, reinforce the surrounding strata, and prevent
ground subsidence and
groundwater leakage; S4: Establishing a
monitoring system combining automated monitoring and manual inspection to monitor surface
subsidence, deformation of the existing railway
line structure, and displacement of the tunnel structure in real time, and promptly feeding back
monitoring data; S5: Activating corresponding emergency measures to address potential problems during construction such as
subway line subsidence,
screw conveyor blowout, and TBM attitude exceeding limits, ensuring the safety of construction and the existing railway line. This invention effectively controls the disturbance to existing lines during construction, reduces the construction risks caused by water-rich and complex strata, and ensures construction safety and project quality. It can be widely applied to similar
shield tunneling projects in water-rich, deep, and complex strata that cross existing lines.
