Definitions

  • the excavator used consists of a deep-wall cutter, with which a first well or pit of rectangular section is excavated and subsequently, laterally shifted relative thereto, a second pit of rectangular section is excavated, shifted laterally relative to the first pit. Subsequently, the intermediate ground panel is excavated by means of the deep-wall cutter.
  • the panel space thus provided connects to the pits excavated on both sides thereof. Consequently, when the ground panel located between two pits is excavated, there must be an overlap in the principal direction of the wall, and, also, the deviation in a direction perpendicular to the wall to be excavated can only be slight.
  • inclinometers For measuring this deviation in a direction perpendicular to the wall to be excavated, inclinometers are used as described in above-mentioned NL-A-87.02430.
  • the precision of these inclinometers is insufficient to guarantee that the adjoining panels are in sufficient abutment in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the wall.
  • each wall panel In order to obtain a sufficient abutment, each wall panel must be of a thicker design than is necessary. There is a relation between the necessary thickness of the wall and the accuracy with which the position of the wall can be measured at a great depth.
  • the first and the second well are excavated with an excavator of circular section, designed as a drill head, where after the ground panel located between the first and the second well is excavated with a second excavator, laterally fitted with tubular guide elements, which, during excavation, are guided by the walls of the first and the second well.
  • the first well of that next panel must be free of the hardenable mass provided in the preceding panel.
  • the second well prior to filling the preceding panel space with a hardenable mass, the second well is separated from the adjacent ground panel by means of a support tube, securable in this second well as is known form DE-A-1.484.545, where after the newly excavated panel space and the first well are filled with a hardenable mass. In this manner, the second well of the preceding panel is kept clear for receiving the tubular guide element of the excavator during excavation of the adjacent ground panel.
  • this support tube is to provide good sealing properties, the friction during insertion of the tube in and removal thereof from the second well is considerable, limiting the depth of a well in which such support tube is to be placed.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an adjustable closing apparatus of the above described type which is more easily insertable in and removable from a second well of an excavated trench section.
  • Such a support tube can be easily inserted in the second well after excavation of a first ground panel, the inflatable body being directed towards the next ground panel tube excavated.
  • the inflatable body By filling the inflatable body with liquid or air, the opposite side of the tube is pressed in a closing or sealing position against the first ground panel space to be closed.
  • This space is then filled up with a hardenable mass, and after hardening of that mass the liquid or air is removed form the inflatable body, which enables the support tube to be easily removed.
  • the next ground panel can now be excavated, while a guide element of the excavator can be received in the well from which the support tube has been removed.
  • Fig. 1 shows a first panel space A in full lines and a next panel space B in broken lines.
  • the depth L of such a wall is for instance 100 m below the ground level O.
  • the thickness D of the panel space is for instance 1 m, while at a depth of 100 m the overlap d of the two panel spaces must be at least 50 cm in order to obtain an abutting wall that is impervious to water. In that case, the deviation angle ⁇ must not be more than 0.3° and this extremely slight deviation is not measurable by the measuring equipment presently available. Consequently, in order to obtain an overlap of at least 50 cm all the same, the thickness D of the wall panel, and hence the allowable deviation angle ⁇ , will have to be increased.
  • One of the guide tubes 12 is connected to the excavator 10 by means of a parallelogram construction 16, so that lateral play can be taken up.
  • the guide tube 12, connected to the excavator 10 via the parallelogram construction 16 is held against the rubber blocks 18, arranged on the excavator, so that both a positive and a negative play can be taken up.
  • the excavator 10 is suspended from a drill apparatus 1 by means of a cable. It is not necessary to push the excavator 10 into the ground by means of a tube arranged on the trailing end thereof.
  • Mounted on the excavator 10 are pumps 19 for discharging the support liquid blended with the mass of soil, which is fed to a separator 7.
  • the wells 8 accommodating guide tubes 12 have been excavated to a somewhat greater depth than the desired depth of the partition wall to be provided in the ground, in order to accommodate the projecting parts 13 of the guide tubes 12 at the moment when the deep-wall cutter 10 has reached the desired depth.
  • the diameter of the wells 8 is greater than the thickness 15 of the ground panel 11, the thickness 15 corresponding, of course, to the width of the excavator 10.
  • a support tube 20 is arranged in the second well 8, as shown in Fig. 4.
  • This support tube 20 serves to keep open the second well 8 while the hole consisting of the first well 8 and-the panel space 11 connecting thereto is filled with a hardenable mass 22.
  • a hardenable mass for instance a concrete mixture can be used, optionally further provided with a reinforcement.
  • the support liquid 4, present in the panel during excavation, is displaced by the hardenable mass 22 or pumped off.
  • the support tube 20 (see Fig. 6) consists of a metal tube, comprising an inflatable body 21 over at least one-fourth of its circumference, which inflatable body, together with the wall of the support tube 20, constitutes an expandable chamber, which can be filled with air or a liquid under pressure.
  • the support tube 20 is fixed in a well such that the inflatable body 21 abuts against the successive ground panel 11. Consequently, the support tube 20 is secured against the inner wall of the well 8.
  • the support tube 20 is removed from the well 8 after the air or liquid used for expanding the inflatable body 21, is removed by suction. Subsequently, as is shown in Fig. 5, the adjacent ground panel 11 is excavated in the same manner as shown in Fig. 3.
  • the successive panel space thus provided perfectly connects to the preceding panel space, as described hereinabove. Consequently, this means that the thickness of the panel space need not be greater than the necessary thickness d, as shown in Fig. 1. As a result, a considerable saving in material can be achieved. Further, an important advantage is that the total length of the excavator in the direction of the partition wall can be utilized, because an overlap in lateral direction, as shown in Fig. 4 of NL-A-87.02430, is no longer needed.
  • an inflatable body 21 Arranged on one side of the support tube 20 is an inflatable body 21, while on the side opposite this inflatable body there are arranged outwardly projecting support strips 24, between which a sealing strip 23 can be accommodated so as to be axially slidable.
  • this sealing strip 23 can be left in the hardenable mass 22 of the preceding panel space and subsequently be incorporated into the hardenable mass 22, to be provided in the next panel space.
