The method finds its way in those tunnels with an Unstable or short term stable core face condition.

Using reinforcing pipes. the method consists in the installation of manchette- type steel pipes acting as reinforcement support for the next instalation of the stee! ribs. At the same time, they are also used {as grouting pipes thus forming a continuous canopy of consolidated soil 1. DRILLING PHASE: The ctiling can be performed either by rotation or rotopercussion (TUBEX-ODEX-Ike). In the frst case, the dling sting sel, ted with a crag bit at its end, is left in place, hile using the rote-percussion, isthe casing that has to be left in place. In both cases, the dling string or the casing, acting as reinforcing steel of the consolidation treatment, are fitted with special non-return valves , which are built Within the wall thickness of the steel pipes and are such as not to sutfer damages during the penetration ofthe soil 2. GROUTING PHASE: basically there are two possible grouting techniques: ‘The single valve injection technique, using 2 double packer placed across to each valve securing each individual valve is pressurization. b. The one shot technique for each individual fore pile by using @ packer placed at the top of the pipe,‘The use of JET GROUTING reinforced ‘columns is also widely employed today thanks to its suitability in a variaty of sols ranging from gravel to clay, but especialy in very ficult conditions, where both weak solls and thin overburden are found. In fine sols, the column has a static function, while where there is water inflow it works as a barier against the water. ‘The execution phases of the so called Trevi Reinforced Jet Grouting in Progress (normally TT single fluid is suggested) can be described as follows. ~ The treatment is performed by driving both the rod and the casing simultaneously and performing the jetting during the penetration phase. The space between the rods and the pipe allows the Jetting spoil to escape. On completion of the driling/treatment, the jetting sting is extracted from the casing which remains inplace, acting as reinforcement. = This type of consolidation obviously requires a rig fitted with double head. = Diiling is carried out by using a rod string fitted with a monitor and a driling tool, either by rotation or roto-percussion. = During the driting phase, the inside fuid ‘escapes from the too tip, easing therefore the soil penetration and xeeping the griling to0l blades clean, = When the diiling is over, the jat is diverted by closing the bottom valve and the grout ‘escapes at high speed through the side nozzles, disaggregating and mixing the soil withthe grout and thus creating the consolidated column, During this phase the driling string is rotated and withdrawn at a pre-set rate. = The peculiarity of this system is that the reinforcing stee! pipe is installed during the jet grouting column execution. The jetting string and the casing rotate in ‘opposite senses. ~ The jetting ro itself, fitted withthe monitor, is located inside the string with the jet grouting monitor over-passing the reinforcement pipe mouth of 20 cm approximately = The grouts used are generally binary. Coment/Water following a ratio of 0.8 to 1 and 1.3 with, in case, of use of admixtures, ~ The High Pressure Jetting is canied out by suitable High Pressure Pumps. Soilmec tunneling igs have been specially {designed and adapted to complete this type ‘of work in the most efficient and effective way, where speed and precision are demanded. In addition, such a process allows easier and mote cost effective treatment of either soft sol or fractured and soft rock, Today, Soilmec can offer a wide range of equipment capable of covering radius of consolidations from 1880 mm to {6600 mm at 0°, thus applicable both in large ‘tunneling sections for High Speed Railways ‘and highways projects and in those tunnels thought for the city underground system, which consists normally of small sections. eee ey 5 Jet Grouting method Fi jc Za] a = ze au Grouted stee! pipeE: 8 Tunnelling Rig Main features: ~ Overall width: 2100 mm ~ Overall length: 2780 mm, ~ Front and rea fixed telescopic rams ~ Front and rear hydraulic slowing rings + Diesel engine and electc motorinterchangeable ~ Rotary head achioving a max, torque (1207 dam ~ Jet grouting optional by mast extension = Class of the machine: 12 on Performances = Max height of consolidation treatment a 0° 4570 mm 180in = Max height of consolidation treatment a$* 5157 mm, 208 in Radius of consolidation treatment a 0° (minvmax) 11880 /2550 mm 74-100n -
