A self-adjusting hydraulic static penetrating device and method suitable for a seabed slope area is provided. The device includes an upper adjustable injection platform and a lower adjustable supporting platform. The upper adjustable injection platform is fixedly connected with the upper surface of the lower adjustable supporting platform. The upper adjustable injection platform includes a rack, a control cabin, an injection mechanism, a hydraulic station, a balance weight and first jacks. The control cabin, the injection mechanism, the hydraulic station, the balance weight and the first jacks are all arranged on the rack. The four first jacks are installed at the bottom of a steel structure frame, and the first jacks are fixed to the lower adjustable supporting platform. The device is simple in structure and low in cost, and can guarantee, to the maximum extent, that the overall gravity center of the device is always constant or slightly changes.

Disclosed is a method of constructing an underwater concrete block structure, including: fabricating a plurality of concrete blocks having a vertical hole extending in the vertical direction; forming a foundation concrete block structure by installing the concrete block on the seafloor; vertically installing at least one guide pole in the foundation concrete block structure; forming a concrete block stack by repeating a process of positioning the concrete block to be installed above the surface of the water; and forming a main concrete column for binding the plurality of concrete blocks.

The subject matter relates to a method and an apparatus for vibrating-in a foundation into a building ground by initiating vibrations generated by means of a vibrating device attached to the foundation, the vibrations causing liquefaction of the building ground so that the foundation penetrates the building ground.

The present invention relates to a hydraulic down-the-hole hammer. The hammer comprises an elongate shaft and a piston having a central bore therethrough, the piston slidably mounted for reciprocal movement on the shaft and arranged to impact a percussion bit. Forward and rear drive chambers for the piston are disposed between the piston and the shaft and the forward chamber is separated from the rear chamber by an annular shoulder formed internally of the piston bore. The hammer also comprises a control valve to control reciprocation of the piston, wherein the control valve is arranged within the central bore of the piston. The hammer may be a disposable water hammer in which the piston is an outermost component of the hammer.

The invention relates to a securing means and a method for securing a civil engineering element to a construction machine by means of a flexible securing element, wherein a first end of the flexible securing element is attached to the construction machine and a second end is provided with a connecting link which can pass through a securing lug on the civil engineering element and can be releasably fastened to the construction machine by a connecting means. According to the invention, a detection unit is provided on the connecting means, which detection unit is designed for identifying fastening of the connecting link to the connecting means. The detection unit can generate and output a signal if fastening of the connecting link is identified.

A grouting consolidation method for a full casing borehole guide prefabricated pile, comprising the following steps: S1, driving a drilling rig carrying a casing (1) to perform borehole construction, the borehole construction being performed to a preset hole depth to form a borehole (2); S2. the casing (1) being housed in the borehole (2); S3. implanting a prefabricated pile (4) into the borehole (2) so that the prefabricated pile (4) reaches a hole bottom of the borehole (2); S4. injecting a slurry (3) into the borehole (2); S5. pulling out the casing (1) so that the prefabricated pile (4) and an inner cavity of the borehole (2) are fixed and cemented into an integrated structure. Also provided is a prefabricated pile, comprising a pile body and a grouting channel (5) provided on the pile body, wherein a liquid inlet end (11) of the grouting channel (5) extends out from an upper end surface of the pile body and a liquid outlet end (12) of the grouting channel (5) extends out from a lower end surface of the pile body and/or a side surface of the pile body.
