Method for Providing an Underground Barrier for a Water Reservoir
20230250604 · 2023-08-10 ·

The invention relates to a method for providing an underground barrier for a water flow. The method includes the steps of drilling in soil a number of parallel vertical holes; inserting pipe strings into the drilled holes, where each pipe string has a pipe string wall with a plurality of openings arranged distributed along the length of the pipe string; introducing injector means in each of the pipe strings; positioning the injector means at a plurality of discrete depths in the respective pipe string and aligned at each depth with at least one of the openings in the pipe string wall; and injecting at each discrete depth a sealing compound, such as sodium silicate, through the at least one aligned opening into the soil.

Ground improvement apparatus

A ground improvement apparatus includes: an inner shaft arranged inside an outer pipe and including a mechanism for rotating a crank at a rotation speed four times as fast as that of the outer pipe; agitation blades supported by the outer pipe so as to reciprocate in a radial direction of the outer pipe and including discharge outlets; and a slider crank mechanism for converting a rotation movement of the crank to a reciprocating movement of the agitation blades. A ground at a location where the outer pipe is penetrated and a solidifying material discharged from the discharge outlets are agitated and mixed with each other to form an improved body having a substantially rectangular cross section by rotating the agitation blades while advancing and retreating the agitation blades relative to each other via the slider crank mechanism by rotation of the crank.
