Application of Raise Boring Machine in Vertical Shaft Construction of Jiyi Tunnel on Menghua Railway
The Jiyi Tunnel of Menghua Railway has a total length of 15 417 m and is a high gas tunnel,with a total of 4 ventilation shafts arranged.The tunnel adopted the reverse well method to construct the vertical shaft,and combined with the specific engineering situation,used the positive circulation down-hole hammer technology for guide hole construction,the raise boring machine for hole expansion construction,and after installing the shaft frame,anchor mesh spray support was adopted,ultimately forming a vertical shaft with a diameter of 2.0 m.Practice shows that the deviation angle after the construction of the vertical shaft is relatively small,and the construction effect of the No.4 vertical shaft is good,with a deviation rate of no more than 0.2%.This project has high construction efficiency and is currently the construction practice in China with the largest depth of single well completion using the raise boring machine.
