Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for treating underground fluids that manages to capture, confine and route in a controlled manner the fluids present in the subsoil, without requiring ditches or great excavations, preventing the damage that these fluids can cause if they come in contact with constructive elements when they run freely in the subsoil.
  • the proposed system takes advantage of the characteristics of the soils to guide the water towards the desired areas, so that the original values are not altered; this is achieved by a mesh of multidirectional micro-ducts with collateral fluid diffusers.
  • any rehabilitation project involves the application of several products for waterproofing, sealing, etc., which in turn involve complex and costly complementary work for installing these, in many cases requiring to destroy part of what we wish to preserve.
  • the presence of water in direct contact with a building causes important damage, not only as regards the liveability of the building, but also damage to materials. Problems can also occur due to high water tables that alter the balance of the supporting ground. In urban areas the water table can change considerably over time.
  • a rise caused among other factors by unforeseen neighbouring underground work will intercept the natural flow of underground water, potentially creating a dam that will rise the level until causing serious damage to the foundations of existing buildings, which were not designed for this situation, possibly even leading to excess pressure on walls or under pressure in floors, which can lead to water penetrating the building.
  • Peripheral ditches are meant stop water from reaching the building, but these cannot be used in all cases, either due to the depth required or the existence of adjacent buildings.
  • Wells and drainage ducts can cause serious damage to the building by attempting to lower the water table in a forced manner, thereby carrying away solid matter that will unbalance the supporting ground.
  • Waterproofing systems in general present serious problems of application, and it is known that any pore in the application of these systems is enough for the erosive action of water to appear again.
  • the invention proposed solves the problems described above to full satisfaction. It is a system for treating underground water that does not seal or waterproof the soil, instead allowing a controlled flow of water in the subsoil.
  • the system proposed is meant to solve the problem from its origin and provides a definitive solution for professionals who face the task of solving this problem every day. It eliminates the problem of learning know-how for application, choosing types and models, conditions of implementation etc. as it is a single system applicable in any situation and condition.
  • the main characteristic of the invention lies in the elimination or re-routing of water, as the basic and single origin of all problems, without attempting to stop it or to waterproof the affected material, simply eliminating the contact between the material and the water.
  • the system described provides numerous benefits: it lowers the water table, cancels over-pressures and under-pressures, stabilises the supporting ground, eliminates filtrations, floods and dampness, eliminates contact between the material and the water and even prevents the formation of cracks, different settlements and fatigue processes in the constructive materials.
  • the system can be applied to numerous and diverse situations. For example, in civil work and construction it can be used to rehabilitate buildings with problems of dampness, degradation, etc. It can also be used to stabilise the ground, regarding the correct work of foundations, correction of banks or fillings affected by filtrations that could lead to earth slides or rock slides, drainage of containment walls suffering additional loads, depression or lowering of the water table, etc.
  • the system proposed can be used to treat soil contamination.
  • it can be applied to the investigation, control and processes of decontaminating soils affected by industrial spillage, urban spillage and hydrocarbon leaks, to recover leachates produced in uncontrolled dump sites, to protect bunds and banks in urban and industrial dump sites, or to provide protection against caving-in due to water filtrations.
  • Another important advantage of the system proposed is that it maintains constant the characteristic humidity of each individual soil without drying it.
  • materials soften and weaken, potentially leading to crushing or cracking.
  • their state changes from dry to moist or vice versa their swelling coefficient (expansions or retractions) also changes, leading to material fatigue or degradation.
  • the proposed system allows treating high water tables as, on occasions, in urban areas the water table can rise over time due to, among other reasons, adjacent underground work that may intercept the natural water flow.
  • the described system it is possible to maintain or correct the water table, cancelling any effects of over- or under-pressures and maintaining the water flow constant.
  • sewer pipe breakages can also be applied to supply or sewer pipe breakages, which occur unexpectedly and can carry away fine elements and form hollows in areas of deficient compactation, possibly leading to collapses, undermining foundations, different settlements and sudden pavement breaks.
  • sewerage leaks are particularly dangerous as they contain a concentration of chemical reagents that can attack constructive elements.
  • the proposed system will in this case carry out a preventative task as it would absorb the leakage, preventing the damage that it could cause.
  • the volume changes generally occurring in soils formed by silt and/or clay as a function of their water content is one of the main causes of serious problems in buildings, such as breakage of underground pipes, generalised cracks, different settlements, etc.
  • the typical solution is to underpin the foundations with micropiles to carry the load to depths that are not affected by variations in moisture. This has a high cost and, moreover, the effectiveness of underpinning the footings is uncertain, as many are not accessible.
  • the system described provides an effective and selective alternative.
  • the proposed system involves implementing in the subsoil a plurality of microducts disposed subhorizontally, in different directions and even at different depths, from one or several suitably enabled areas, thereby achieving a mesh effect, either under or adjacent to the building to be treated, providing a drainage or infiltration network with a high efficiency, according to a prior study of the ground, which allows fluids to follow their natural course.
  • the system is implemented using high-quality and modern materials, fulfilling requirements such as: static load capacity on microducts, resistance to aging, resistance to chemical aggressions and high draining capacity (permeability).
  • requirements such as: static load capacity on microducts, resistance to aging, resistance to chemical aggressions and high draining capacity (permeability).
  • the subsoil is treated by adding products to improve its capacity in insoluble materials and at the same time stabilise the wall and improve the aquifer layers, reducing the interaction of the clays and their inhibition, thereby suppressing the swelling effect of layers sensitive to water.
  • Other products will prevent the agglomeration of solid matter and the resulting formation of "bridges".
  • the problem of the loads exerted on the microducts is solved by the materials used in their coating, which have physical properties that allow them to withstand these loads, as well as solving the complex operation of redistributing loads.
  • the problem of aging due to the heat produced in potential biochemical reactions inside the microducts that could lead to their softening is solved by using these high-technology materials, as well as by a thorough control of the raw materials used.
  • the product finally obtained has chemical stability in all types of waters, particularly seawater and saline, acidic or alkaline diluted solutions.
  • the use of materials with these special characteristics results from regular analyses of water obtained from drainages, which in some cases have a concentration of chemical reagents that requires the use of elements perfectly suited to this type of aggression.
  • the system proposed by creating a suitably sized three-dimensional network of microducts, provides a surface with a high infiltration that covers an area as large as needed.
  • This system also reduces the cost of operations with the same intended effect, as it eliminates the need to replace soil, fill ditches, etc. and does not damage constructive elements.
  • the system for treating underground fluids from any point, inside or outside the building allows to implement the mesh in the area with greatest water flow without having to cover areas that do not have any problem and without limits imposed by the existence of adjacent buildings. In addition, it does not dry the ground, allowing to maintain its characteristic humidity or specific retention coefficient, conserving its natural hygroscopic conditions and managing to stabilise it. As there is no change from dry to wet conditions or vice versa, the swelling coefficient of the materials is not altered.
  • the system can always be expanded if subsequent circumstances require covering other areas, and can similarly be regenerated, so that it is a definitive system.
  • a simple trapdoor allows future access to carry out any subsequent tasks.
  • the system can be implemented under buildings, under the foundations, between piles or footings, to create a base drainage even in previously-built buildings as well as between dividing walls.
  • the system proposed can be applied to all types of apartment buildings detached homes, industrial buildings, etc., allowing to treat expansive ground even in areas where a high piezometric level causes frequent damage to buildings, such as destabilisation of the ground and resulting breakage in supply or sewer pipes, different settlements, etc.
  • the invention proposed consists of a system for treating underground fluids that allows stabilising the ground by channelling said fluids such that the natural levels of the subsoil remain constant. It allows treating the ground from any point, either inside or outside the affected area, and also allows directing the microducts toward the affected area without having to cover areas that do not have problems, and without limitations due to the presence of adjacent buildings. It also prevents drying out the ground, allowing to maintain the humidity level or specific retention coefficient of the ground, conserving its natural hygroscopic state.
  • the system described comprises a plurality of microducts (1) disposed at different heights and horizontally with a slight inclination, using an area (2) enabled for implementing the system, such as a pit or the like so that, after a prior study of the stratigraphy of the ground and locating the most permeable layers, each microduct (1) is placed in the direction and layer appropriate for treating the subsoil, creating a type of horizontal mesh, with each microduct (1) having collateral fluid diffusers (3), capturing confining and routing the fluids under the building, thereby stabilising the subsoil and ensuring that the fluids follow their natural course under the ground.
  • This system does not require construction work under the affected building or any other building, instead preparing an enabled area (2) for establishing the system from where the microducts (1) are introduced which is outside of the affected area (4), the affected area being that which requires treatment for drainage or infiltration of fluids.
  • the microducts (1) can be disposed in any direction and from different enabled areas, so that, for example, it is possible to dispose a plurality of microducts (1) at a certain height from one enabled area, horizontally and With a microducts (1) at a certain height from one enabled area, horizontally and with a slight inclination, and another plurality of microducts (1) from a different enabled area, at a different height, also horizontally and with a slight inclination such that, for example, they are at 90° to the each other. In this way, a mesh of microducts (1) is generated in which the fluids move freely, keeping constant the natural level of water in the subsoil.
  • microducts (1) are introduced from the enabled area (2) by horizontal perforations that cross the area to be treated, creating a horizontal mesh of microducts (1) at different heights and directions under the central core of the affected area (4).
  • the design of the microducts (1) is such that it prevents undesired particles from passing, allowing to filter only the desired particles.
  • the microducts (1) comprise an outer tube (11) with the collateral diffusers (3) and an inner tube (12) with orifices (13), so that the opening of the microducts (1) is calibrated to prevent undesired elements from passing.
