The Nan-Kunming Railway is the best in the world

The tunnel is located between Lupan Station and Shangxipu Station in the Wei (She) Hong (Guo) Section. The total length of the tunnel is 4975 meters. 1085 meters of the tunnel body are coal strata, with 14 main coal seams. The measured gas pressure values ??of each coal seam mostly exceed 0.6Mpa, with the highest reaching 1.34Mpa. The Coal Department's "Detailed Rules for the Prevention and Control of Coal and Gas Outbursts" points out that when the coal seam gas pressure exceeds 0.6Mpa, there is a risk of coal and gas "outbursts". According to calculations, when tunnel construction passes through coal seams, the gas emission volume can reach up to 349 cubic meters per hour. Therefore, the Jiazhuqing Tunnel is a tunnel with high gas outburst risk, and its construction difficulty and danger have no precedent in the history of railway tunnel construction in my country.

In the design of the Jiazhuqing Tunnel, a series of safety precautions were taken, including pre-extraction and pre-drainage, sealing the pit walls, strengthening ventilation, eliminating fire sources, spray cleaning, and reducing coal dust. In order to reduce the ventilation resistance and allow as much fresh air to enter the tunnel as possible to reduce the gas concentration, a parallel guide pit and two inclined shafts are set up in the entrance work area and the inclined shaft work area of ??the tunnel, and a powerful ventilation hole is formed through the suction action of a large ventilator. Tunnel ventilation. During construction, the gas concentration in the excavation working face shall not be greater than 1% after ventilation, the gas concentration in the return air duct (parallel guide pit) shall not be greater than 0.75%, and the wind speed at any point in the tunnel shall not be less than 0.5m/s. In order to prevent gas from gathering and staying in the corners of the tunnel, feng shui sprayers are installed on the excavation working surface to disperse the gas and reduce coal dust. During the construction of the Jiazhuqing Tunnel, the outburst prevention measures of "one detection, two testing, three rows and four testing, vibration and blasting, and safe evacuation." were adopted.

The Nankun Railway uses electric locomotives for traction. High-voltage arc sparks often occur between the pantograph of the locomotive and the contact network. In addition, friction sparks are generated by the train brake shoes and open flames generated by the passenger car dining car are harmful to gas. All words are dangerous sources of fire. For high gas tunnels like Jiazhuqing, although a series of sealing measures have been taken on the lining structure, considering that there may be some imperfections in the design and construction, some gas will still leak into the tunnel. And gradually accumulate. And because the length of the Jiazhuqing Tunnel is nearly 5 kilometers, natural ventilation is not enough to dilute and bring out the gas in the tunnel. Over time, if the accumulated gas concentration exceeds 0.5%, it will pose a threat to driving safety. Therefore, the inclined shaft in the middle of the tunnel is used for extractable mechanical ventilation. Gas probes are installed at the vaults at regular intervals in the tunnel. When the central control room finds that the gas concentration in the tunnel has risen to a dangerous value, the inclined shaft fan is started for ventilation. The tunnel construction started in 1993 and the track was laid on May 11, 1996.

Small Dictionary - Gas. The gas in the formation is the gas produced by the decomposition of ancient underground organic matter. The main component of gas is methane, which is a colorless, tasteless and odorless flammable gas. Under standard conditions, 1 cubic meter of gas weighs 0.716 kilograms. Since it is lighter than air, it often accumulates at the top of the tunnel. Under normal circumstances, when the gas concentration in the air is between 5% and 16%, it can cause an explosion if exposed to an open flame. When the gas concentration is 9.5%, the explosion is most powerful. When the concentration exceeds 16%, it loses its explosiveness, but it can still burn in case of fire. It is worth noting that when the air contains coal dust, the gas concentration of 3% can explode. Since gas exists in the coal seam at a certain pressure, when the tunnel is excavated, the pressure is suddenly reduced. In a very short time (a few seconds), a large amount of gas together with coal powder and rock blocks will suddenly erupt, and the number can reach dozens or hundreds. tons, causing the tunnel to collapse and become submerged, causing personal casualties. This is the so-called "outburst" of coal and gas. It can be seen that gas is the most dangerous "enemy" in tunnel construction. The tunnel is located in Bantao Township, Tianlin County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, with a total length of 9,392 meters. The tunnel passes through the Jiuwei Mountains, the watershed between the Youjiang and Nanpanjiang river systems. The mountains in the area are rolling, with undulating peaks, steep slopes and deep ravines. This area has a subtropical humid monsoon climate, and the trees in the mountains are evergreen all year round, with flowers and fruits growing all year round. Every winter, rice flowers bloom all over the mountains and fields, white and fragrant, hence the name Mihua Ridge.

The mountainous terrain the tunnel passes through is complex in geology. There are 3 main faults that pose a great threat to the tunnel, 16 small faults that have a certain impact, 6 folds, and 10 water storage zones, of which 4 water-rich zones may cause water and mud inrush. The water inflow volume of the entire tunnel is 17,000 cubic meters every day and night. The plane of the tunnel line is S-shaped, with a curve at the entrance and exit. The length of the entrance curve is 258 meters, the radius of the curve is 1000 meters, and the curve length accounts for about 6% of the entire tunnel.

The curves at the two entrances are mainly due to the stations at both ends of the tunnel and the terrain conditions. Before the tunnel enters the tunnel, it is Bantao Station, and after exiting the tunnel, it is Genlong Station. The tunnel support structure is designed according to the New Austrian Method principle, using a curved wall composite lining section. The Type II and III surrounding rock sections are curved wall invert fully enclosed linings. The Type IV surrounding rock section does not have inverts, and the bottom is made of reinforced concrete. The bottom plate strengthens the bottom of the tunnel to improve the stress state of the supporting structure, prevents the mudstone from softening under the repeated force of the train, and avoids diseases at the bottom of the tunnel. The water inflow volume of this tunnel is large, and the water control principle in the design is mainly drainage, combined with plugging and drainage. For the Class II surrounding rock sections where water and mud may inrush, long conduits are used to grout the entire section to plug the water before excavation. The tunnel support structure adopts the method of water control with top blocking and bottom drainage, that is, non-woven fabrics and polyethylene waterproof boards are installed between the secondary supports on the arch, drainage blind ditches are installed at intervals on the walls, and double-sided drainage ditches are installed longitudinally in the tunnel to ensure smooth water flow. , to prevent water accumulation from harming the bottom of the tunnel and causing diseases. The key project of this tunnel is the three main faults in the exit section of the middle part of the tunnel. The total length of the fault fracture zone and influence zone is 575 meters, which is equivalent to a small tunnel. A nearly 600-meter "rotten hole" will take one to two years to construct. Moreover, the 600-meter "rotten hole" is embedded deep in the tunnel, so the construction difficulty can be imagined. Based on the treatment of three main faults and drawing lessons from several previous long tunnels, the construction auxiliary tunnel scheme of "two inclined and one flat" was adopted. The tunnel adopts advanced construction equipment such as a rail-mounted gantry-type four-arm rock drilling rig, a vertical claw ballast loader, and a 14 cubic meter shuttle mine car for transportation. The formwork trolley is equipped with concrete pump lining and other advanced construction equipment, creating conditions for rapid tunnel construction. . According to the geological conditions, the excavation method is mainly normal section excavation, and the short step method is used in weak surrounding rock areas. The tunnel construction started on November 1, 1992 and was completed on September 6, 1996. China Railway Tunnel Group (CTG) is the largest enterprise group in the field of tunnels and underground engineering in China.
