PREMISE

Depending on site, the following problems may be encountered:

Lubrication and soil conditioning are being increasingly used to improve the performance of tunnelling, pipe

jacking, microtunnelling and horizontal directional drilling (HDD). The lubrication and conditioning may be

effected by the addition of suitable agents at various points throughout the tunnelling process, such as: at the

point of cut in the tunnel face; within the cutter head; in the muck removal system; around the outside of the

tunnelling shield and/or the pipes in a tunnel or pipe line formed by pipe jacking or microtunnelling; in the

separation units of a slurry system; or to muck on its way to tip. This improvement may come about in a number

of ways which are :

· reduced wear of machine cutter head face plate and tools, and all wear parts of the muck removal system;

· improved stability of tunnel face, with consequently better control of ground movements;

· improved flow of excavated material through the cutter head;

· reduced cutter head power requirements;

· reduced friction and heat build up in shield;

· excavated material formed into a suitably plastic mass;

· enhanced properties of soil in the pressure chamber of earth-pressure balance (EPBM) machines, leading to:

more uniform pressures in the working chamber;

better control of groundwater inflow by reducing permeability;

reduction in clogging of machine head chamber;

more controlled flow of soil and water through the screw conveyor;

easier handling of excavated soil.

REASONS FOR SOIL CONDITIONING AND LUBRIFICATION

· support of excavated bore in pipe jacking, microtunnelling and HDD;

· reduction of jacking forces in pipe jacking and microtunnelling;

· reduction in the friction losses in the pipes, valves and pumps of a slurry machine system;

· better separation of spoil from slurry in a slurry machine system;

· more acceptable spoil for disposal;

· through a number of the above, improved safety for personnel working in the tunnel, particularly during cutter

changes and cutter head inspections.

FOAMS (GLOBALFOAM-HG)

The principal use of foam in tunnelling is as a soil conditioning agent in EPB machines: it may also have

applications in both slurry-type and auger-type microtunnelling systems.

Foam is produced in a tunnelling machine by a compressed air system. Foam solution and compressed air are

fed at the same pressure (typically around 8 bar) to a junction piece or mixing chamber, and then out through a

diffuser unit, conditioner or lance which converts the fairly coarse foam produced in the mixing chamber to a

micro-cellular foam. Ideally most of Lubrication and soil conditioning: state of the art review 18 the foam air pores

should be less than 1mm in diameter.

The delivery system should be mounted as close as possible to the outlet position as foam is rapidly degraded if

pumped a long distance through narrow pipes. For multiple injection ports, each port should have its own

delivery system, and these should be able to operate at up to 16 bar as an aid to clearing blockages.

POLYMERS (GLOBALCYL-46)

Polymers are essentially large, long-chain molecules formed by the linking together of large numbers of small

chemical “building blocks” or monomers. Homopolymers are achieved by polymerisation of a single basic

monomer unit, copolymers by two or more different monomers. A polymer material may exist in many different

forms, depending on the lengths of the polymer chains (measured by the molecular weight), the presence and

nature of any linking between polymer chains, and the existence or not of structured (crystalline) groups of

molecules.

SCHEMATIC RAPRESENTATION OF “EARTH PRESSURE BALANCE MACHINE” TBM-EPBM

A MODERN EPBM DRIVE COMBINES A KNOWLEDGE OF THREE MAIN SUBJECTS:

•SOIL MECHANICS (PRESSURE SUPPORT AND SOIL CHARACTERISTICS)

•TBM TECHNOLOGY (CUTTERHEAD DESIGN, INSTALLED FORCE, ...)

•SOIL CONDITIONING ADDITIVES.

ONLY A GOOD COMPREHENSION AND INTERACTION BETWEEN THESE ASPECTS WILL RESULT IN A SUCCESSFUL TBM DRIVE AND

COMMERCIAL SUCCESS.

THE CONTROL OF FACE SUPPORT IS A MAJOR ISSUE IN EPBM TUNNELLING. CONTINUOUS SUPPORT OF THE TUNNELLING FACE

MUST BE PROVIDED BY THE EXCAVATED SOIL ITSELF, WHICH SHOULD COMPLETELY FILL THE WORKING CHAMBER. THE

REQUIRED SUPPORT PRESSURE AT THE TUNNELLING FACE WILL BE ACHIEVED THROUGH:

•THRUSTING THE SHIELD FORWARD - BY MEANS OF HYDRAULIC JACKS - AGAINST THE SOIL MASS (FORCE EQUILIBRIUM)

•REGULATION OF THE SCREW CONVEYOR-ROTATION (VOLUME EQUILIBRIUM).

THE SUPPORT PRESSURE HAS TO BALANCE THE EARTH PRESSURE AND THE WATER PRESSURE. DEPENDING ON SOIL CHARAC-

TERISTICS AND THE COVER TO DIAMETER RATIO (T/D) DIFFERENT TYPES OF EARTH PRESSURES ARE TO BE DETERMINED.

EARTH PRESSURE BALANCE TECHNOLOGY HAS MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN THE PAST 10 YEARS.

ESPECIALLY REGARDING THE EXPANSION OF ITS APPLICATION TOWARDS LOW COHESIVE TO GRAINY

GROUND CONDITIONS (SEE FIG.)

SOIL CAN BE CONDITIONED WITH:

- WATER

- BENTONITE, CLAY OR POLYMER SUSPENSION

- FOAM (SURFACTANT FOAM)

- FOAM – POLYMER MIXTURE (SURFACTANT – POLYMER – FOAM)

- POLYMER (POLYMER FOAM)

WHERE THE APPLICATION OF THE CLASSIC TUNNELLING PROCEDURE, EPB AND SLURRY SUPPORT,

ARE OVERLAPPING. THIS IS REFLECTED IN SPECIFIC DENSITIES OF THE EXCAVATED MATERIAL IN THE

EXCAVATION CHAMBER.

FOAM TYPES POLYMER ADDITIVES

Soil A B C FIR

Clay 30-80 - Anti clogging polymer

Sandy clay – silt 40-60 - Anti clogging polymer

Sand – clayey silt 20-40 - Polymer for consistency control

Sand 30-40 - Polymer for cohesiveness and

consistency control

Clayey gravels 25-50 - Polymer for cohesiveness and

consistency control

Sandy gravels 30-60 - Polymer for cohesiveness and

consistency control

Product types for EPB relative to different soils (FIR values are indicative only)

The Foam type chosen should match the properties of the soil to be excavated.

Foam type A: high dispersing capacity (breaking clay bonds) and / or good coating capacity

(reduce swelling effects);

Foam type B: general purpose, with medium stability;

Foam type C: high stability and anti segregation properties to develop and maintain a cohesive

soil as impermeable as possible.

SOIL CONDITIONING: CHOICE OF FOAM TYPES

PRODUCT PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

The following product types are intended to achieve one or more effects:

• FOAM:

maintenance of pressure, fluidising effect for the soil, creation of an homogeneous soil paste, permeability

reduction, lowering of torque, reduction of soil stickiness, reduction of abrasion;

• ANTI-CLOGGING AGENTS:

mainly used for heavy clay soil;

• OTHER ADDITIVES:

structuring effect on non-cohesive soils, stabilising of foam or soil, water retention, viscosity effects;

• ANTI-ABRASION AGENTS:

to add to very abrasive soils or rock formation, to reduce wear of the cutting head and its tools, extraction

screw.

These product should be environmentally acceptable and safe to handle with normal site precautions.

GUIDELINES ON USE OF FOAMFOAM DESIGN PARAMETERS

• FOAMING SOLUTION

THE CONCENTRATION OF FOAMING SOLUTION CF IS TYPICALLY IN THE RANGE 0,5 - 5,0%, BUT SHOULD

FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS. THIS CONCENTRATION STRONGLY DEPENDS ON

THE AMOUNT OF WATER WHICH IS INJECTED OR WHICH IS ALREADY PRESENT IN THE SOIL AND ALSO

AFFECTS THE ACTIVITY AND STABILITY OF THE USED TUNNEL FOAM.

CF - CONCENTRATION OF SURFACTANT AGENT IN WATER (..FOAMING SOLUTION)

CF = 100 X M SURFACTANT / M FOAM SOLUTION

M SURFACTANT MASS OF SURFACTANT IN FOAMING SOLUTION

M FOAM SOLUTION MASS OF FOAMING SOLUTION

• FOAM EXPANSION RATIO “FER”

THE FER SHOULD BE AT 5 – 30. THE HIGHER THE FER, THE DRIER A GENERATED TUNNEL FOAM WILL BE.

THE WETTER A SOIL, THE DRIER A TUNNEL FOAM SHOULD BE AND VICE VERSA.

FER - FOAM EXPANSION RATIO

FER = V FOAM / V FOAM SOLUTION

V FOAM VOLUME OF FOAM AT WORKING PRESSURE

V FOAM SOLUTION VOLUME OF FOAMING SOLUTION

• FOAM INJECTION RATIO “FIR”

THE FIR CAN BE AT 10 – 80%, IN MOST CASES AROUND 30 – 60%. TO DETERMINE THE BEST FIR VALUE,

LABORATORY TESTS HAVE TO BE CARRIED OUT. THE WATER CONTENT OF THE SOIL OR THE AMOUNT

OF INJECTED WATER PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE.

FIR = 100 X V FOAM / V SOIL

V FOAM VOLUME OF FOAM AT WORKING PRESSURE

V SOIL VOLUME OF IN SITU SOIL TO BE EXCAVATED

WATER SPRAY

WATER SPRAYS ARE ALSO USED TO HELP REDUCE DUST. WATER SPRAY WETS THE SURFACE OF BROKEN ROCK,

PREVENTING DUST FORMATION, AS WETTED FINE PARTICLES NORMALLY ADHERE TO THE ROCK SURFACES. THIS REQUIRES

ADEQUATE DISTRIBUTION OF WATER SPRAY NOZZLES ON THE CUTTERHEAD, AND A SUFFICIENT QUANTITY OF WATER.

IN ORDER TO MINIMISE DUST FORMATION, IT IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THAT THE WATER SPRAY CONTINUOUSLY WETS OUT

ALL THE ROCK SURFACES IN THE BREAKING PROCESS. THE TIMELY WETTING OF ROCK CHIPS DURING THE BREAKING

PROCESS IS NECESSARY, AS ONCE THE DUST IS AIRBORNE, WATER IS RELATIVELY INEFFECTIVE AT CAPTURING IT. DAMP

AIRBORNE DUST MAY GIVE PROBLEMS IN THE EXTRACTION VENTILATION AND DUST FILTRATION EQUIPMENT.

ONE OF THE OTHER DISADVANTAGES OF WATER SPRAY IS THAT THE HIGH WATER JET VELOCITIES WILL CREATE

ADDITIONAL AIR TURBULENCE THAT CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE CREATION OF MORE AIRBORNE DUST.

DUST CONTROL TECHNIQUES (EFNARC)

FOAM SPRAY (GLOBALFOAM-AS + GLOBALCRYL-46 )

FOAM IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO REDUCE DUST IN HARD ROCK TBM EXCAVATION BUT SHOULD ALWAYS BE

USED IN COMBINATION WITH EXTRACTION VENTILATION. THE FOAM IS INJECTED THROUGH SPECIAL PORTS LOCATED ON

THE CUTTER HEAD, AND SPREADS OUT RAPIDLY TO COVER WHOLE ROCK FACE. THE THIN FILMS OF THE FOAM BUBBLES

WET OUT BROKEN ROCK (LIKE WATER SPRAY), SO REDUCE AIR BORN DUST FORMATION. UNLIKE WATER, FOAM ATTRACTS

DUST PARTICLES AND ALSO HAS STRONG STAYING POWER, FORMING A CONTINUOUS MATRIX IN THE VOIDS OF THE

EXCAVATED ROCK. THIS FORMS A VIRTUAL SEAL WHICH CAPTURES AND BLOCKS OUT THE DUST THAT WOULD OTHERWISE

HAVE BECOME AIR BORN ON THE ROCK FACE SIDE.

FOAM APPLICATION EQUIPMENT

THE CUTTER HEAD WILL NORMALLY BE FITTED WITH A COMBINED SYSTEM THAT CAN PROVIDE WATER OR FOAM. IT IS

NECESSARY TO ENSURE THAT FOAM AND WATER ARE NOT INJECTED THROUGH THE SAME PIPES, AS THIS MAY LEAD TO

PREMATURE FOAM BREAKDOWN. ALSO NOTE THAT THE PIPE SIZE IS DIFFERENT FOR THE TWO SYSTEMS.

TAILOR MADE FOAMING PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET, WHICH OFFER OPTIMUM FOAMING CAPACITY AND

FOAM STABILITY, AND IN THIS REGARD, THE REQUIREMENT ON THE FOAMING PRODUCTS ARE OFTEN SOMEWHAT

DIFFERENT FROM THOSE USED FOR SOIL CONDITIONING IN EPBM. THEY SHOULD ALSO BE BIO-DEGRADABLE, AND SHOULD

NOT POSE A POLLUTION RISK TO THE ENVIRONMENT.
