  • the jet J2 is injected from the nozzle N2 in an upward skewed direction relative to the horizontal direction.
  • Fig. 7 does not clearly show, as for the jets J1, J2, a radial direction inward (central) portion of a cross section thereof is a jet flow of a partition forming material, and its circumference is surrounded by a jet flow of a high-pressure air.
  • the second embodiment can be implemented.
  • the partition forming material is a solution containing 5% by weight of a thickener (e.g. guar gum as a natural water-soluble polymer material) and 5% by weight of sodium silicate (water glass).
  • a thickener e.g. guar gum as a natural water-soluble polymer material
  • sodium silicate water glass
  • jets J3, J4 injected from downward nozzles N3, N4 are jet flows of a solidification material.
  • the in-situ soil is e.g. a clay
  • a mixture of the in-situ soil (clay) and the partition forming material are favorably mixed with the solidification material.
  • a mixture of the in-situ soil (clay) and the partition forming material passes a circular space S between the jet device 10 and an inner wall surface of a drilling hole HD as shown in an arrowed direction AD as slime to be discharged above the ground. Nevertheless, since the mixture of the in-situ soil (clay) and the partition forming material contains no solidification material, it is not necessary for the mixture to be treated as an industrial waste, thereby no deterioration of working conditions.
  • a separation layer LD is formed in an upward region of a space IJ cut by the jets J1, J2 (a space filled with the in-situ soil and the partition forming material) .
  • the separation layer LD serves as a divider so that the solidification material injected from the nozzles N3, N4 does not flow into a circular space S between the jet device 10 and the inner wall surface of the drilling hole HD.
  • a layer LC of a rich-mixed solidification material (having a low W/C, the ratio of water to a solidification material) is formed in a downward region of the space IJ.
  • the downward jets J3, J4 collide with a cut wall W (an inner wall surface of a diameter-expanded cutting hole cut by the jets J1, J2). Then, if they are rolled up as shown in an arrowed direction AN, a solidification material might be mixed with the separation layer LD (comprising a mixture of the partition forming material and the cut soil). When the solidification material is mixed with the separation layer LD, the solidification material might be discharged above the ground as slime.
  • the downward jets J3, J4 In order to prevent from the solidification material from being discharged above the ground, it is necessary for the downward jets J3, J4 to roll down downward as shown in an arrowed direction AG when they collide with the cut wall W. Thus, as shown in Fig. 7 , the downward jets J3, J4 face downward by an angle ⁇ with respect to a horizontal direction HO.
  • the size of the layer LC of the solidification material in a vertical direction becomes larger (thicker), and the separation layer LD (the layer of the partition forming material) always moves in an upward direction of the layer LC of the solidification material.
  • a separation layer LD composed of a partition forming material
  • a mixture of the partition forming material and soil is discharged above the ground as slime (a mixture of the partition forming material and the cut soil).
  • slime a mixture of the partition forming material and the cut soil.
  • a rich-mixed solidification material in the layer LC of the solidification material is hardly discharged above the ground. Since the solidification material is not discharged above the ground, waste of the solidification material is reduced, and the amount of slime to be treated as an industrial waste in a dedicated plant is reduced.
  • the solidification material is injected by the jets J3, J4 from the downward nozzles N3, N4 of the jet device 10, and the jet device 10 is pulled up by rotating the same. Consequently, even if the viscosity of an in-situ soil (e.g. clay) is high, a mixture of the in-situ soil (clay) and the partition forming material is favorably mixed with the solidification material.
  • an in-situ soil e.g. clay
  • nozzles are provided, but if nozzles are symmetrically disposed about a point with respect to a central axis CL of a jet device, 3 or more nozzles can be provided.
  • a solidification material is delivered from a discharge port provided in a downward direction of the jet device and delivered to a mixture of a cut in-situ soil and a cut fluid.
  • the solidification material may be injected in an outward radial direction.
