We renovated a dam for our client, incorporating several key innovations. These included adding a parapet wall to the top of the dam, constructing a new bridge to the outlet structure, and making essential repairs to the existing spillway. We added rock anchors to the stilling basin and grouted voids beneath the existing spillway slabs.
Our team installed 30 rock anchors, each up to 11 feet, totaling 330 linear feet of drilling. We also placed up to 820 cubic feet of grout in six identified void areas according to the specifications.

As an efficient anchoring method, self self-drilling rock bolt is used in complicated, loose, and broken geological conditions. It’s widely applied to the pre-support project, radial support project, slope stabilization, foundation support project, roadway support project, soil nail wall, back pull anchor rod retaining wall, and other rock-supporting work. #slopestability#tunnelling#forepiling#micropiles#soilnailing
Cable percussion drilling is an excellent technique for friction pile design, slope stability analysis, and for sites which have a significant probability of Made Ground (landfill sites, dockyards, infilled basements etc).
Cable percussion (or Shell and Auger) drilling is suitable for a wide range of applications within clay, sand and gravel deposits as well as made ground, but will not advance through hard strata easily (rock, concrete etc).
The technique allows sampling and in-situ testing to be undertaken, including undisturbed (UT100) samples, bulk (B) samples, SPT tests and in-situ vane tests.
Because the size of the bore can be reduced during drilling, the technique is perfect if you need to 'seal out' contamination from upper horizons, to prevent polluting the natural ground below.

Accurate and precise removal of material combined with low vibration characteristics makes drum cutters an ideal tool for many tunnelling applications.
Typical applications include:
- profiling
- scaling
- refurbishment
In soft to medium hard rock, or where tunnel freezing techniques are being used, drum cutters can be used as an alternative to road headers, breakers or drilling and blasting as the primary method for tunnel excavation.

The joint row hydraulic support is a combination of two groups of bar-shaped roof beams and joists, A and B, which can be self-moving. The two groups of roof beams support the same roof plate, and when one group moves forward, the other group supports it, providing uninterrupted and continuous stable support for the roof. All the motions of the support are completed by the hydraulic system, which can be easily operated due to its intelligentization.
The intelligent joint row #hydraulicsupport is mainly used for temporary support during rapid #tunneling of #coal (rock) #roadway, rockburst pressure prevention, working face end support, #workingface forepoling support, replacement of roadway support (replacement shed), and complex working face support.
Due to its special structure and principle, the joint row hydraulic support is widely used in the support of various types of roadways (tunnels), including rectangular roadways, trapezoidal roadways, arched roadways, and shaped roadways. Its scope of application includes temporary support for rapid coal (rock) excavation, synthesized #excavation and anchoring, rapid blasting excavation, working face end support, working face forepoling support, anti-ground pressure, replacement of the original support of the roadway (replacement shed), shaft support, tunnel development for manganese mine, phosphate mine and other non-coal mine, water conservancy, transportation, railroad and other tunnel development.
If you have the right tool for the job, breaking rock isn't hard to do. There’s no debating that a breaker’s life is a rough one. Whether being used on a road construction site, for demolition, at a mine or quarry, or just about anywhere else, hydraulic breakers have one task and one task only – to break stuff apart without breaking themselves.

A modified sand hopper for sand filling of geotube . Sufficient water must be pumped in together with sand to allow sand to spread .
We use this method because it helps us to speed up Geotube installation with our site situation . Using a sand pump is great, but the setback is being able to only fill with a rate of roughly 23m3/hour or around 1-3days to complete 1 geotube .
With the hopper sand pit, this is enabling me to fill roughly 100m3/ hour. With turnover time and miscellaneous works, the Geotube installation can be completed in 4 hours together with the reclamation of the sand bund.
This is only being able to use in this site situation, I believe if it is a breakwater in the middle of the sea, a sand pump still must be used instead of this hopper sand pit .

Great to see this. Many smaller dams need the same attention but do not get it.
