COFFERDAM PREVENTATIVE AND EMERGENCY WATER-STOP GROUTING
COFFERDAM PREVENTATIVE AND EMERGENCY WATER-STOP GROUTING Water-stop grouting for preventative & emergency waterproofing in retaining pile joints during excavation ― 1. Project Background The main bridge tower of a cross-river bridge had adopted steel pipe piles as the retaining structure. In order to prevent groundwater from inrush during excavation, management planned to conduct Double-Packer grouting
HYDROELECTRIC DAM RESTORATION AFTER STRONG EARTHQUAKE
HYDROELECTRIC DAM RESTORATION AFTER STRONG EARTHQUAKE Emergency leak-stop and reinforcement of concrete dam structure after earthquake ― 1. Project Background After a severe earthquake in 1999, a power plant dam experienced multiple shear cracks and uplift joints in its concrete structure, leading to water seepage. To prevent the dam from collapsing and causing risks to
BACKFILL GROUTING BETWEEN OLD TUNNEL INVERTS AND ROCK MASS
BACKFILL GROUTING BETWEEN OLD TUNNEL INVERTS AND ROCK MASS Filling and reinforcement of voids behind tunnel lining ― 1. Project Background To accommodate the electrification of the Taiwan Round-Island Railway, comprehensive safety inspections and maintenance were required for sections of old tunnels before their final opening to traffic. These tunnels had been in use for
DIAPHRAGM WALL GUIDE TRENCH COLLAPSE GROUND IMPROVEMENT
DIAPHRAGM WALL GUIDE TRENCH COLLAPSE GROUND IMPROVEMENT Strata filling, reinforcement, water stopping composite grouting ― 1. Project Background A collapse occurred during the excavation of a diaphragm wall guide trench at GL.-29m. Due to the presence of an underground culvert nearby, the construction unit immediately backfilled the guide trench to GL.-3m below the lower edge

URBAN DISTRICT SANITARY SEWER PIPE DAMAGE REPAIR CASE STUDY Quick & effective repair method for underground sanitary pipe damaged during full-casing pipe pile construction ― 1. Project Background During the implementation of full-casing piles construction in an urban district project, a large-diameter steel casing accidentally cut into a buried in-use sanitary sewer main during excavation.
HANDLING OF DAMAGED UNDERGROUND TUNNELS
HANDLING OF DAMAGED UNDERGROUND TUNNELS Techniques for structural repair and leak prevention in underground conduits ― 1. Project Background After a period of usage, a functioning underground tunnel and its connecting access routes had experienced various issues due to factors such as natural disasters, changes in geological conditions, and aging. These issues included surface lining
Water Inrush Control At The Interface Between Offshore Bridge Foundation Piles And Pier Steel Box Cofferdam
WATER INRUSH CONTROL AT THE INTERFACE BETWEEN OFFSHORE BRIDGE FOUNDATION PILES AND PIER STEEL BOX COFFERDAM Water pressure balanced resin grouting water-stop reinforcement ― 1. Project Background Some piers of a cross-sea bridge were designed with pier steel box cofferdam foundations. However, due to the prior construction of the offshore steel pipe piles, when the
Water Inrush Control in Operational Large Shopping Mall Raft Foundations with Perforated Pipes
WATER INRUSH CONTROL IN OPERATIONAL LARGE SHOPPING MALL RAFT FOUNDATIONS WITH PERFORATED PIPES Double-tubing grouting method for sealing underground cavities ― 1. Project Background In a large operational shopping mall, the raft foundation’s water tank had been discharging a significant amount of water for an extended period. Due to the increasing volume of drainage, the
Highway Tunnel Pavement Water Pressure Damage Repair Techniques
HIGHWAY TUNNEL PAVEMENT WATER PRESSURE DAMAGE REPAIR TECHNIQUES Water-stop reinforcement method for arch damage on road pavement caused by water pressure ― 1. Project Background A highway tunnel pavement was situated over a well-developed and densely layered sandstone-shale subgrade. During the rainy season, the interconnection of rock strata joints and fractures with the high-water table
