VSM technology and equipment for shaft sinking and its engineering applications
The traditional construction technology for shaft sinking usually adopts manual soil extraction or using small scale machines,sinking by structural self-weight,and pouring concrete shaft walls on site.However,the traditional method has the disadvantages of slow construction efficiency,too many operators and high construction risk,many stop-sinking and tilting phenomena,and great impact on the surrounding environment.The construction for shaft sinking is also developing towards using assembled,mechanised,digitally intelligent and green technologies.This paper will introduce the advanced technology and the set of equipment for shaft construction as well as its global engineer-ing applications to provide technical solutions and equipment selection reference for mechanized con-struction in this field.
