Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the digging of a vertical channel in the soil, the channel being filled with a heavy fluid, in particular with bentonite, during the construc- ion and as the construction progresses, and the digging itself taking place by means of a ground mill, the loosened soil being removed from the channel by pumping out of it a mixture of soil and fluid.
  • a method of this type is generally known.
  • the bentonite filling serves to keep the channel stable, i.e. to prevent the channel walls falling inwards.
  • the ground mill operates in the space filled with bentonite because the bentonite filling flows freely out of the channel section already constructed into the area in which the ground mill is operating.
  • the soil loosened by means of the ground mill has to be removed by means of a pump and this pump pumps a mixture of soil and bentonite.
  • This mixture has to be separated again into its components, but this separation requires a rest period of several days and an expensive installation. This means that a relatively large amount of bentonite is needed and bentonite is a relatively expensive fluid.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method by which it is possible to construct the channel in a more efficient manner to save considerably on bentonite.
  • This object is primarily achieved according to the invention in that the part of the channel already constructed and filled with bentonite is separated from the part still to be constructed and during the construction thereof by placing in the channel, in the direction of advance at or near the end of the channel already constructed, a former which fits closely in a sealing manner against the side walls of the channel and the space above the ground mill, which is separated from the part of the channel already constructed by the former, is kept filled with water so that the mixture to be removed therefrom consists of soil and water.
  • the invention achieves the result that the space in which the ground mill operates and the space of the channel which has already been constructed and is filled with bentonite, are kept separated from each other and the ground mill only operates in a water filled space from which the mixture of soil and water can be pumped away in an expedient manner.
  • the separation of soil and water necessary inter alia, does not present any problem.
  • Large installa- ions in which the separation of soil and bentonite has to take place are therefore no longer necessary, while there is also a saving in bentonite and the mixture of soil and water is easier to pump and therefore also requires less energy.
  • the water above the ground mill can be removed and the space made available filled with bentonite, after which the ground mill is removed.
  • the water can also be displaced by supplying bentonite and removing the ground mill at a suitable moment
  • the former can be withdrawn and clamped again between the side walls of the channel at the new front end obtained, after which the ground mill is positioned in front of the former, from the point of view of direction of advance of the channel to be made, and a new channel section is made, with simultaneous supply of water and removal of soil and water mixture.
  • the invention it is also possible to operate with at least two formers which are positioned at a distance from each other, which distance is at least equal to the length of the working area of the ground mill and the former disposed upstream, from the point of view of the direction of movement, after the positioning of the former adjacent to the working area of the ground mill is withdrawn and after the removal of the ground mill is placed at the downstream end of the new channel section then made by means of the ground mill.
  • a ground mill which is attached to a frame and which usually consists of oppositely rotating knives which are driven by hydraulic motors.
  • This frame is suspended in a lifting device for controlling or for lowering and raising.
  • a tube can now be positioned on this frame of the ground mill which in horizontal cross-section has a length and width corresponding to the working length and working width of the ground mill and which carries an expandable seal above the ground mill, which tube is provided with an inlet for water and with a drainage pump with pressurised pipe for the mixture of soil and water and furthermore an inlet is present for the supplying of bentonite to the space between the tube and above the seal.
  • This tube contains the water filling and is separated from the soil, i.e. channel wall, by a thin bentonite layer.
  • the seal between the bottom end of the tube and working area of the ground mill ensures that the bentonite is kept separated from the soil, which is loosened and from the water which forms a mixture with the soil so that there is no risk that bentonite is also removed with the soil-water mixture.
  • the tube has a height which is such that the tube projects at all times above the ground level. As a result of this it is possible to ensure a water overpressure with respect to the bentonite.
  • the space filled with ben - tonite above the seal can further be provided with a pressure sensor and the space filled with water beneath the seal can be provided with a pressure sensor, which pressure sensors control the water supply to the tube in a manner such that the water column provides an overpressure with respect to the bentonite column. There is then certainty that bentonite cannot be removed with the water-soil mixture.
  • the former or formers consist according to the invention preferably of a tube which is provided with expandable side walls, in particular inflatable side walls.
  • the drawings show a channel 2 filled with bentonite 1 having a floor 3 and a front wall 4.
  • a former 5 which is shown on a larger scale in Figure 2.
  • This former consists of a metal tube 6 of rectangular cross-section with tubular reinforcing ribs 7 at the comers and clamps 8 and 9 respectively on the front and back wall for attaching a rubber seal 10 which is closed at the extremities and which can be inflated, as shown at 11, and then rests against the side wall 12 of the already constructed channel.
  • Figure 2 shows one seal in the inflated condition and one in the uninflated condition.
  • ground mill In the direction in which the channel has to be constructed a ground mill is engaged in front of the former in digging out a further section of the channel.
  • This ground mill has a frame 13 to which ground mills 14 are attached in a manner known per se and which can be rotated around horizontal axes and are provided with cutting knives 15. These ground mills are driven by hydraulic motors which are not shown.
  • the frame of the ground mill is attached to a rising tube 16 of rectangular cross-section, which frame is suspended at 17 on a lifting device not shown.
  • the suction nozzle 18 of a suction pipe which is connected by means of a dredger pump 19 to the pressurised pipe 20.
  • Water can be supplied at 23 to the tube 16 via the pipe 21 with stopcock 22.
  • the fluid from this water content is indicated at 24.
  • the frame 13 is provided with passage channels 25 through which the water in the tube can reach the ground mills, can mix with the loosened soil, after which the mixture of soil and water can be removed via the suction opening 18 and double-action pump 19 through the pressurised pipe 20.
  • the frame 13 carries a circumferential inflatable sealing ring 26' which is constructed in a manner such that it can slide along the walls of the channel already made and along the front face 9 of the former 5.
  • Figure 1 shows that the tube 16 projects above the ground level 30 and that the fluid column in the tube is higher than the bentonite column which is situated between the outside wall of the tube and the walls of the channel in the space 27.
  • a pressure sensor which measures the pressure of the bentonite column.
  • a pressure sensor which measures the pressure of the water column. Both measurements can be used in a manner known per se for controlling the stopcock 22 in the water supply pipe 21. As a result of this it is possible to ensure that the water column always has sufficient overpressure.
  • This second former can be used as a protection for the region situated upstream, for example if it is already desired to provide a concrete filling there or if it is desired to remove the bentonite and replace it by soil after a provision has been made therein, viz. the provision for which the channel was made. This might be a watertight shield.
  • the ground mill After the ground mill has constructed a new section, the ground mill has to be brought up again.
  • the former 5' has now been drawn up at the correct time, then it can immediately be placed in the channel filled with bentonite immediately after the removal of the tube with mill.
