Definitions
- the invention relates to provisions to control the phenomenon of piping.
- the phenomenon of piping occurs for example in dyke constructions having a bottom sand layer that is water permeable and a top clay layer with a dyke that is water impermeable. Seepage water passes through the sand layer at a level just below the clay layer, whereby initial small channels are formed by transport of the sand particles along with the ground water stream. These channels may grow over many years to such extend that the dyke locally shifts sideways, or locally lowers into the sand layer due to collapse of the channels.
- the geotextile allows passage of the seepage water and blocks the sand particles contained therein.
- the geotextile is installed by digging a long, wide and deep trench along the dyke, inserting of the geotextile and filling up the trench again. This method disturbs the initial ground structure to such extend that the dyke may already be weakened.
- the displacement of the ground while keeping the clay and sand separated requires complex logistics during digging. When the clay is dumped back into the trench at the level of the sand layer it immediately clogs the geotextile, whereby it loses the intended filtering capabilities. It is an object of the present invention to provide provisions to effectively control the phenomenon of piping .
- the invention provides an assembly of a screen panel and a screen driving device for driving the screen panel into the ground, wherein the screen panel comprises parallel coupling edges and a geotextile extending between the coupling edges, wherein multiple screen panels are coupled in series at the coupling edges to form a piping screen, wherein the screen driving device comprises a front plate and a back plate that extend parallel and opposite to each other to form an intermediate space between the facing main surfaces of these plates, and a supply of pressurized water, fluid mixture, air or any mixture thereof to insert this into the intermediate space, wherein the screen panel is inserted between the front plate and the back plate with the geotextile in the intermediate space .
- the screen panel to be vertically installed in the ground is inserted between the front plate and the back plate with the geotextile enclosed in the intermediate space.
- the screen driving device is driven into the ground, the ground particles are kept outside the intermediate space by continuous insertion of pressurized water, fluid mixture, air or any mixture thereof.
- the geotextile can pass a cover layer, such as a clay layer, in order to be partially inserted in a lower sand layer without being clogged prematurely.
- the screen driving device can be driven into the ground whereby digging of a wide trench is not necessary.
- the screen driving device comprises a frame having multiple box girders that are connected to the front plate or the back plate, wherein the box girders are provided with an inlet for the pressurized water, fluid mixture, air or any mixture thereof, and an outlet that debouches into the intermediate space.
- the box girders then have both the function of stiffening the front plate and the back plate and distribution of the supplied water, fluid mixture, air or any mixture thereof over the intermediate space.
- the screen panel comprises a water permeable framework or gauze that is connected to the coupling edges, wherein a geotextile is applied to one or both sides of the framework or gauze.
- the framework or gauze provides strength to the screen panel and ensures that the geotextile stretches out evenly and smoothly between the coupling edges and does not deform when a pipe occurs next to the geotextile.
- the screen panel comprises a flat bottom sheet that is connected to the coupling edges at the bottom sides thereof.
- the flat bottom sheet provides additional strength to the screen panel so that pushing forces can be transferred from the screen driving device onto the screen panel via the bottom sheet.
- the water permeable framework or gauze extends over the flat bottom sheet, preferably with its extremity projecting freely from the flat bottom sheet.
- the framework or gauze, and the flat bottom sheet can together be folded backwards towards one of the front plate or back plate to push the screen panel into the ground.
- the screen driving device comprises a retainer that is movable with respect to the front plate between a retracted position, in which the retainer extends aside the front plate, and an extended position, in which the retainer extends at a distance of the front plate in the direction of the main plane of the front plate.
- the geotextile and the water permeable framework or gauze, and the flat bottom sheet when present, can project from the distal end of the screen driving device to be folded backwards over the retainer.
- the retainer is moved to its extended position after the screen driving device is driven into the ground, the screen panel is slid outside the front plate and back plate while the front plate and the back plate are retracted. The released geotextile is thereby exposed to the ground and anchored.
- the retainer is wedge shaped having a pushing tip at front that merges into a wedge face aside, wherein the side face faces away from the front plate .
- the water permeable framework or gauze is folded backwards over the frontal pushing edge and against the side face.
- the screen driving device is provided with pins projecting from the front plate that penetrate the water permeable framework or gauze.
- the pins keep the gauze with the geotextile in place during driving the screen driving device into the ground.
- the pins are provided with nozzles that are connected to the supply of pressurized water, fluid mixture, air or any mixture thereof.
- the nozzles can be activated to bring the screen driving device into the ground, or to provide the initial anchoring of the screen panel.
- the retainer extends over the entire width of the front plate, whereby the geotextile is evenly retained.
- the front plate and the back plate have a width in their main plane that is at least 10 times the width of the intermediate space perpendicular to said main plane.
- the invention provides a screen panel for forming a piping screen, wherein the screen panel comprises parallel coupling edges and a geotextile extending between the coupling edges, wherein multiple screen panels are coupled in series at the coupling edges to form the piping screen, wherein the screen panel comprises a water permeable framework or gauze that is connected to the coupling edges, wherein the geotextile is applied to one or both sides of the framework or gauze.
- the coupling edges ensure that the subsequent geotextiles are connected to each other over the entire height, whereby passage of sand particles is effectively blocked.
- the framework or gauze ensures that the geotextile is kept straight over the years and prevents deformation when a pipe occurs next to the screen panel.
- the screen panel comprises a flat bottom sheet that is connected to the coupling edges at the bottom sides thereof.
- the flat bottom sheet provides additional strength to the screen panel so that pushing forces can be transferred from a screen driving device onto the screen panel via the bottom sheet.
- the water permeable framework or gauze extends over the flat bottom sheet, preferably with its extremity projecting freely from the flat bottom sheet in the direction of the main plane of the plat bottom sheet.
- the water permeable framework or gauze, and the flat bottom sheet can together be folded backwards towards a screen driving device to push the screen panel into the ground.
- the invention provides a method for forming a piping screen in the ground by means of a screen driving device, wherein the piping screen comprises multiple screen panels having parallel coupling edges and a geotextile extending between the coupling edges, wherein the screen panels are coupled in series at the coupling edges, wherein the screen driving device comprises a front plate and a back plate that extend parallel and opposite to each other to form an intermediate space between the facing main surfaces of these plates, and a supply of pressurized water, fluid mixture, air or any mixture thereof into the intermediate space, wherein the method comprises the steps of insertion of a screen panel between the front plate and the back plate with the geotextile in the intermediate space, insertion of pressurized water, fluid mixture, air or any mixture thereof into the intermediate space while driving the screen driving device into the ground, and retraction of the screen driving device out of the ground, wherein the screen panel remains into the ground and the geotextile is released from the intermediate space to be exposed to the ground.
- the ground particles are kept outside the intermediate space by continuous and superfluous insertion of the pressurized water, fluid mixture, air or any mixture thereof.
- the geotextile can pass a cover layer, such as a clay layer, to be inserted in a lower sand layer without being clogged prematurely by particles of the cover layer.
- the ground comprises a water permeable sand layer and a low water permeable cover layer above the sand layer, wherein the screen driving device is driven into the ground with its distal end into the sand layer, wherein the screen panel remains into the ground with the bottom side of the geotextile into the sand layer and the top side of the geotextile in the cover layer.
- the geotextile stretches out over the interface between the sand layer and the clay layer, where the piping phenomenon initiates.
- the geotextile remains below the surface of the ground, whereby the surface remains available for other civil purposes.
- Figure 1 a civil infrastructure comprising an artificial dyke construction and a screen installation machine for insertion of piping screen panels along the dyke ;
- Figure 2 a detail of the screen driving device of figure 1;
- Figures 4A-4E the subsequent steps during insertion of one of the screen panels into the ground.
- FIG. 1 shows an artificial dyke construction 1, which is an exemplary example of a civil construction with a ground configuration in which the piping phenomenon typically might occur.
- the dyke construction 1 comprises a water permeable lower sand layer 10 and there above a low water permeable or lower water permeable cover layer 20, in this example a clay layer with an elongate dyke 30 that extends along a water body 33 such as an inland canal or river.
- the dyke 30 has a top face 31 that extends above the water line, a sloping water side 32 that merges into the bottom 35 of the water body, and a sloping land side 34 that in this example merges into a dry land 36.
- the dry land may extend below the level the bottom 35 of the water body.
- the dry land 36 is provided with a drainage canal or trench 37 that extends parallel to the dyke 30.
- the drainage canal 37 collects water to manage the level of the adjacent ground water.
- the low water permeable layer cover layer may be formed by peat or silt for example.
- FIG. 1 the direction of seepage water from the water body 33 into the dry land is schematically indicated with Arrow A.
- the seepage water horizontally passes through the water permeable sand layer 10 at a level just below the interface with water impermeable clay layer 20.
- the seepage water can vertically break through to the surface as indicated with arrow B, creating a connection between the sand layer 10 and the surface. This occurs at a location with the lowest pressure, being most of the time below the drainage channel 37 behind the dyke 30.
- the pressure difference between the sand layer 10 and the surface water is large, the flow speeds are such that sand particles are transported with the flow of water.
