Customize Your Desired Umbrella Pipe
Material Composition and Heat Treatment
We offer various steel grades and specialized material alloys to withstand different rock hardness levels and corrosive tunnel environments. Customizing the material composition ensures superior toughness and wear resistance, significantly extending the service life of the drill pipes. We also apply specific heat treatment processes to achieve the precise balance of strength and ductility required for high-impact rock drilling.
Pipe Diameter and Wall Thickness
We provide customization of the pipe diameter to perfectly match your specific drilling rig and required grouting area coverage. The wall thickness can be adjusted to optimize the strength-to-weight ratio, which improves handling while maintaining necessary structural integrity under high thrust loads. Selecting the right dimensions is crucial for seamless operation and effective ground stabilization.
Grouting Hole Configuration
We allow flexibility in the number, size, and spatial arrangement of the grouting holes along the casing/drill tube. This customization directly influences the efficiency and effectiveness of grout injection, ensuring thorough saturation and consolidation of unstable rock and soil formations. The tailored configuration maximizes rock stabilization ahead of the tunnel face.
Connection Thread Type and Design
We offer various industry-standard and customized connection thread types to guarantee perfect compatibility with your existing drilling consumables and equipment. Furthermore, we can refine the thread design for improved coupling engagement and faster make-up/break-out times. A robust and reliable thread connection is vital for minimizing downtime during continuous rock drilling operations.
what is umbrella Pipe?
The umbrella pipe system is a specialized ground pre-support method primarily used in tunneling and underground construction.
We define it as a series of steel pipes, or casing tubes, drilled in an arch shape above the excavation area before the rock is removed. This process creates a reinforced canopy
what is umbrella Pipe used for?
The umbrella pipe system is a crucial technique in modern tunneling and underground construction, designed to enhance safety and stability. We employ this method primarily for pre-support ahead of excavation, creating a reinforced arch structure. This system effectively manages ground risk when working in challenging geological conditions, particularly those involving fractured rock, weathered rock, or soft soil.
We provide the essential pipes and components needed for successful implementation.
Pre-Support in Unstable Ground
Stabilizing Weak Rock and Soil We use the umbrella pipe system to provide immediate structural reinforcement to weak, fractured, or highly weathered rock masses and soft soil. Before removing the ground, we install the pipes, which are then grouted, creating a rigid canopy. This process effectively prevents potential localized collapses at the tunnel face, ensuring a safer work environment for the crew and equipment.
Controlling Ground Deformation We apply the umbrella pipe technique to limit excessive ground deformation and settlement that can occur during and after excavation, protecting the tunnel structure. The pre-support canopy minimizes the movement of the surrounding rock or soil, thereby reducing stress on the final tunnel lining and the ground surface above. We ensure our components contribute to strict deformation control.
Enhancing Tunneling Advance
Reducing Water Inflow We utilize the grouted umbrella pipes to significantly reduce water inflow into the tunnel excavation area from surrounding saturated ground. The injected grout seals fissures and voids within the rock mass, acting as a cutoff barrier. This greatly improves working conditions and reduces the costly and time-consuming efforts associated with water management during construction.
Facilitating Full-Face Excavation We enable the use of more efficient full-face excavation methods, such as Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) or sequential excavation, in conditions where conventional methods would be too risky. By providing pre-support, the umbrella pipe system creates a stable crown for continuous advance. We supply the reliable pipes that permit faster, more predictable tunneling progress.
