Title:

Method/Process for Instant Improvement of Foundation Soil during Box Jacking Operation without Affecting the Live Rail/Road Traffic Thereof

Value Proposition:

This technology defines the instant ground improvement of soil during box jacking operation which otherwise cannot be possible from ground surface. This will reduce the cost of construction and time.

Summary Application:

This invention provides the process/method for facilitating the implementation of instant bearing capacity measures during the box jacking operation for construction of underpass below live rail/road traffic. This process will be fruitful where the implementation of ground improvement measure is very difficult due to site constraints from the ground surface. 

Advantages:

i. No disruption to rail/road traffic during installation of ground improvement measures
ii. Safe, easy and secured technology.
iii. Environmental friendly due to less disturbance to the sub soil.
iv. No involvement of crane & heavy equipment.
v. Less time required to complete the project.
vi. Less manpower & machinery is required
vii. Reduction in vertical and differential settlements
viii. No chance of tilting of box due to safe and secured alignment
ix. Load bearing capacity of ground is improved at low cost
