Underwater installation refers to construction and installation works carried out in an underwater environment. Due to the complex and changeable underwater environment, underwater installation requires a series of special measures and technical means. This article will cover several common methods of underwater installation.
1. Floating dock installation method.
A floating dock is a kind of equipment specially used for underwater construction and installation, it can float on the water surface and can adapt to the underwater construction environment. In the floating dock, the construction team can carry out various installation operations underwater, such as welding, assembly, wiring, etc. The floating dock installation method has the advantages of simple operation, flexible and convenient, and high construction accuracy, and is suitable for various types of underwater installation projects.
Second, caisson installation method.
A caisson is a device specifically designed for underwater installation, it can float on the surface of the water, and it is capable of sinking to the bottom. In the caissons, the construction team can carry out various installation operations underwater, such as excavation, sand filling, paving, etc. The caisson installation method has the advantages of strong bearing capacity, good stability and high construction accuracy, and is suitable for various large-scale underwater installation projects.
3. Diver operation method.
A diver is a professional with special skills and the ability to work underwater. With the help of divers, the construction team can carry out various installation operations underwater, such as assembly, welding, wiring, etc. The diver operation method has the advantages of simple operation, flexible and convenient, high construction accuracy, etc., and is suitable for various small underwater installation projects.
Fourth, blasting operation method.
Blasting is a process that uses the energy generated by explosives** to break up or remove rocks or other materials. In the underwater environment, blasting operations can be used for excavation, demolition, landfilling, etc. The blasting operation method has the advantages of fast construction speed and high efficiency, but at the same time, it also has the disadvantages of high danger and great impact on the environment, so it is necessary to take corresponding safety measures and environmental protection measures.
Fifth, drilling and blasting operation method.
Drill and blast is a process that uses a combination of drilling and blasting to break up or remove rock or other material. In the underwater environment, drill and blast operations can be used for excavation, demolition, landfill and other operations. The drilling and blasting method has the advantages of high construction accuracy and low impact on the environment, but it also has the disadvantages of long construction period and high cost, so it is necessary to comprehensively consider the construction plan and economic benefits.
In short, the underwater installation project needs to take a series of special measures and technical means to ensure the smooth completion of the project. In the actual construction process, it is necessary to select appropriate installation methods and technical means according to the specific conditions of the project to ensure the safety and stability of the construction.
