In order to
solve the issues of low efficiency and poor geological adaptability for the
traditional caisson construction method, a kind of mechanical excavation
caisson boring machine is proposed, that is, cutting drum is used to excavate
rock and soil, grab bucket or slurry pump mucking. The wellbore assembled with
prefabricated segments is controlled to sink through the pressure lifting
device, and onetime well formation is realized by the simultaneous construction of
excavation and drainage. The authors systematically introduce the working
principle, system composition, and main engine parameters of caisson boring
machine, and elaborate the key technologies such as wellbore pressure lifting
and deviation correction, free section excavation contour control, and
summarize a set of construction technology matching with the boring machine.
Finally, by simulating different working conditions and geological conditions,
the whole process of the integrated machine functional test verification is
performed, which proves that the performance of the caisson boring machine can
meet the design requirements.
