Underground Obstacle Removal
Underground Obstacle Removal
UNDERGROUNDOBSTACLE REMOVAL
NIPPON SHARYO
In quest of the removal technique of existing concrete foundation in the ground to cope with the demand increasing of Building renewal projects the construction volume of the SUPERTOP casing rotator is increasing remarkably in Japan and in Hong Kong. This chapter instructs various techniques in removing underground obstacles.
Grabbing
Extracting by crane
The obstacles as steel pipes and H-shape beam (which are not possible to break them into small pieces by a chisel) can be removed by covering whole obstacle with a casing and excavating soil around the obstacle with a hammer grab, and cleaning the remained soil in the casing with a water jet, and extract it by a crane.
Cut piece
Breaking by chisel
Steel pipes and H-shape beams can be easily removed after cutting them into two pieces by casing bits. Sometimes, a hammer grab is dropped into between the casing and the cut pieces of the steel pipe. Then, remove the cut pieces by rotating the casing together with hammer grab, resulting the cut pieces to be twisted and broken.

A sufficient space [gap:C 200 to 300mm and more] between the casing and the bored pile is required for easier breaking the pile into small pieces and for smooth covering with the casing through out the pile . After chiseling the pile head in the casing, excavate the broken pieces with a hammer grab.
A sufficient space [gap:C 200 to 300mm and more] between the casing and the bored pile is required for easier breaking the pile into small pieces and for smooth covering with the casing through out the pile . In case high level of vibration is prohibited, excavate the broken pieces with a hammer grab after breaking the pile head in the casing with a multi-gripper .
Bored pile
It is important to know How many per cent of the casing is contacting with the bored pile during driving the casing through out the pile. If it is hard to drive the casing into soil with a certain vertical accuracy, the cutting bits of the casing may be slipped out from the bored pile.
Pile
Covering or more: Going straight ahead Covering 1/2~1/3: Going into pile center Covering 1/3 or less: Escaping from pile center
Pay special attentions to the casing. If the casing covers over 50% of the pile sectional area, it will go down straight ahead. If it covers1/2~1/3, then the casing will be inclined toward the pile center. If it cover less than 1/3, then it will be slipped and escaped from the pile center.
Concrete base
To cut concrete base, even if it contains iron-reinforcements, is not so difficult by the cutting bits provided on the bottom end of the casing. But the concrete core remaining in the casing must be broken into small pieces by chiseling prior to excavation them. The gap [C] must be kept by lifting the casing for better chiseling performance.

Multi-gripper, specially invented drilling tool used together with SUPERTOP for underground obstacle removals. Its most effective application is [At the site where a high vibration level generated by chiseling is prohibited, or thick iron reinforcement bars, steel pipes and H-beams are existed in the obstacles to be removed.

Drilling Drilling
When multi-gripper is suspended its shoe is retracted. The shoe is expanded and griped surely in the casing when the screw head reaches to the bottom by the weight. Rotate and lower the casing and the screw head starts to crash the bottom. A drilling-reaction force from the bottom pushed up the screw head which results shoe to be expanded strongly.
