The device can achieve the additive and intelligent construction of closed concrete structures in underground, underwater, and extreme construction environments, solving the technical dilemma of insufficient engineering application scope of open additive manufacturing technology.

Undercutting-covered excavation semi-reverse construction method of cross-transfer subway station

A section of a node of the station is a section with an arch roof and a straight wall of three underground floors, a first underground floor is a station hall floor 1, and a second underground floor is a platform floor 2 of a subway line A and a third underground floor is a platform floor 3 of a subway line B; and directions of the subway line A and the subway line B are orthogonal. Second lining structures of the first and second underground floors are firstly constructed, and after a shield tunneling machine is pushed through the station, the structure of the third underground floor is constructed by a reverse construction method. Thus, the present disclosure is conducive to improving the efficiency of overall construction, guaranteeing timely tunnel construction completion of two lines and hence timely track construction completion and electricity wiring completion.

20180252104 · 2018-09-06 ·

The present invention relates to a tunneling methods and, particularly to installing an internal or external pre-support member along with a post support member and an apparatus therefor. The tunneling method includes: excavating a pilot tunnel in a main tunnel to be built; radially forming a drilled hole from an excavation surface of the pilot tunnel to a tip end of an internal pre-support member of the main tunnel at locations in the pilot tunnel; inserting the internal pre-support member into the drilled hole, and conducting grouting and fixing the internal pre-support member; excavating the tunnel along an excavation line of the main tunnel and spraying shotcrete to an excavation surface of the main tunnel; installing a post-support member between internal pre-support members in the excavation surface of the main tunnel; and connecting the internal pre-support member and the post-support member with a plate type support member.

FRACTURED ROOF 110 MINING METHOD ENTRY-SIDE ANTI-COLLAPSED STRUCTURE
20180202291 · 2018-07-19 · ·

A fractured roof 110 mining method entry-side anti-collapsed structure, one working face of the 110 mining method corresponds to one roadway but without retaining any coal pillar, the roadway retains an entry after the previous working face implements mining top-cutting pressure release, and a roof of the roadway is arch-shape, directional cutting is conducted on one side of the roadway, and the cutting angle is between 15-20 degrees. One working face corresponds to one roadway but without retaining any coal pillar when underground mining is conducted, which can save resources and improve recovery rate of mining. And, the roof of the roadway of the retained entry is arch-shaped, which can improve safety and ensure safety of the coal mining working face. In addition, a cutting angle is 15-20 degrees, which can effectively determine a roof caving direction after top-cutting and reduce affect to the retained entry.

Manhole liner and method of using the same
10024025 · 2018-07-17 · ·

A manhole liner and a method of using the same are provided. The manhole liner is sized substantially equally to the largest diameter of the manhole, so that the liner does not have to stretch to be pressed against the manhole wall. Additionally, the liner is impregnated with a resinous material capable of curing and hardening. A bladder, preferably stretchable circumferentially and having a diameter less than the smallest diameter of the manhole, is inserted into the liner. The bladder is expanded to press the liner against the wall of the manhole to dispense resinous material from the liner, while the liner is able to fold over itself in areas having a diameter less than the original diameter of the liner. Because the bladder stretches to produce a smooth outside surface, the resinous material will migrate to areas in the folds and will cure with a smooth interior surface.
