摘要:
In the mining of minerals from the earth, it is necessary to drill deep bore holes typically between 3000 and 6000 feet in the earth. In order to protect those entering the hole for additional mining operations, after drilling the hole, the hole is lined with a stack of specially constructed lining segments. These segments are formed of either prestressed concrete or steel. The segments are lowered one at a time into the bore hole so as to build up a stack within the hole, thereby lining the hole. The segments are carried to the hole on a transporter and then lowered by the transporter into the hole. Guide cables are threaded through guide conduits provided within the segments so as to maintain the orientation of such segments during the operation. The weight of the segment as it is lowered is supported by fluid, normally the drilling mud, that fills the hole and the transporter until the segment comes into contact with the top of the uppermost segment on the stack of those segments already placed into the hole. Grout is then placed between the lining segments and the inner wall of the bore hole. The grouting process is periodically carried out after every few segments have been placed into the hole. After the lining operation has been completed, the miners can enter the bore hole for other mining operations.

In conjunction with the mining of minerals from the earth, it is necessary to construct deep verticle shafts normally between 10 and 20 feet in diameter and typically between 3000 and 6000 feet in depth in the earth. Technology has been developed for blind drilling of such shafts. After drilling the shaft however, in order to protect those entering the hole for additional mining operations the shaft needs to be lined with a stack of specially constructed lining segments. These segments are formed of prestressed concrete. The concrete segments are lowered one at a time into the bore hole shaft, which is filled with fluid, so as to build up a stack within the hole, thereby lining the hole. Each concrete segment has a top portion with an approximately V-shaped cross-sectional area with a flat top section and a bottom portion having an asymmetrically cross-sectional shape but such shape partially corresponding to the shape of the top portion so that the segments can be stacked. As the segments are stacked, an uneven turbulence is created due to the shapes of the top and bottom portions of the segments. This turbulence helps to flush out any particles from between the concrete segments. Grout is then placed between the lining segments and the inner wall of the bore hole. The grouting process is periodically carried out after every few segments have been placed into the hole. After the lining operation has been completed, the fluid is pumped out of the hole and then the miners can enter the hole for other mining operations.

The lower end of an outwardly tight shaft structure (3) for a bore shaft (1) rests on a tilting joint arrangement (15, 20). This arrangement includes a hydraulic thrust bearing (15) at the end face of the shaft structure (3) and a hydraulic annular cylinder (20) at the circumference of the lower end of the shaft structure (3). Thus, this tilting joint arrangement (15, 20) is located between the shaft structure (3) and the base (10) and permits tilting of the shaft structure (3) relative to the ground (12) without impairing the water-tightness of the bore shaft foundation.

997,538. Wells, &c. FENIX & SCISSON Inc. July 14, 1961 [July 15, 1960], No. 25702/61. Heading E1F. [Also in Division F4] In excavating a subterranean cavern for the storage of liquid petroleum gas (see Division F4) a shaft 38 Fig. 1 is sunk to below the roof level 43 of the proposed cavern, the extension is filled with sand 44 and a steel liner 39 in welded sections is lowered into the shaft, said liner having utility conduits 45, Fig. 2, welded to the exterior thereof thus leaving the interior of the liner free of obstruction thereby facilitating the removal of the sand 44 and of subsequently excavated earth and rock. Each liner section has external handling and locating lugs 53, 54, Fig. 6, welded thereto and the lower end of the first liner section is closed by a cast concrete slab 41 supported by rods 42 which allows water poured into the liner to serve as ballast to assist lowering of the first liner section and of sections subsequently welded thereto. The space between the shaft wall and the liner is filled with cement grouting 40, water is pumped out, slab 41 drilled out, sand 44 removed and the cavern excavated by conventional means. Finally the bottoms of conduits 45 are closed, sections 46, Fig. 4, are cut out of the liner at a predetermined level, conduits 45 cut, grouting 40 removed to provide a space 47 sections 46 replaced and cement is forced down one conduit 45 into space 47 thus effecting a permanent seal and the upper end of the liner is closed by a cap 71, Fig. 7 (not shown).

A construction method of a rectangular working well includes steps of: (I) designing functional requirements for the rectangular working well; (II) constructing a caisson of an enclosing structure of the rectangular working well; (III) constructing an edge protector; (IV) excavating earthwork of the rectangular working well; (V) forming a bottom cover for the rectangular working well, and pre-embedding a sliding track, a pull ring and a back wall anchor; (VI) installing a ladder for entering the rectangular working well; (VII) preventing joint leakage; (VIII) installing a water-proof pressure plate at an entrance of the preset pipe jacking hole; (IX) constructing the sliding back wall; (X) lifting the sandwich concrete slab wall at a top of the preset pipe jacking hole; and (XI) performing pipe jacking. The structure system constructed by the present invention has many advantages such as clear function, safety, quickness, and flexible design.

A system for storing thermal energy includes an opening into the earth, a liner positioned within and surrounding an interior periphery of the opening, a liquid provided within the liner, a first conduit fluidly associated with an upper portion of the opening, a second conduit fluidly associated with a lower portion of the opening, a fluid movement device and a heat transfer device. The fluid movement device is fluidly connected between the first and second conduits and configured to transport liquid between the first and second conduits. The heat transfer device is fluidly connected to the first conduit and the second conduit and configured to transfer heat to or from the liquid.

A method and device for lining a bore shaft extending through an aquiferous formation comprises, lowering a base ring on guide and alignment columns into the bore until the base ring is seated on a shoulder near the bottom of the bore which is at or below the lower end of the aquiferous formation. The base ring with connected columns are then centered in the bore. A plurality of lining rings are then sequentially lowered in a guided and aligned fashion on the column to rest on the base ring and on each other and to form sealing joints therebetween. The space between the thus formed lining and the bore can then be filled with filler material.
