To study the insitu trenchless technology of urban
underground pipeline renewal and expansion, a mechanized trenchless pipeline
renewal boring machine is designed. In addition, key technologies such as the
pressure balance system of the excavation chamber, protected circulation system
of the pipeline, and intensive design of the entire machine are studied and are
successfully applied to the pipeline renewal test section project. An actual
pushing force model is constructed through test data analysis to determine
equipment configuration parameters, such as the cutterhead speed, thrust speed,
and cutterhead cutting resistance. The actual excavation results show the
following: (1) the trenchless pipeline renewal boring machine can effectively
guarantee the largediameter steel concrete pipeline
breaking and renewal, pipeline dredging, and maintenance; (2) the monthly
footage of the equipment can reach 150 ~ 450 m, the protected flow rate is
approximately 500 m3/h, the pressure of the excavation
chamber is stable at 50~ 80 kPa, and the settlement is controlled within 4 mm,
realizing simultaneous laying of new pipelines in one construction with insitu
expansion of the steel concrete pipe, thereby improving the automation level of
urban pipeline renewal construction. The
proposed machine provides a new construction method reference for mechanized
trenchless pipeline renewal in old urban areas.
