Key Technologies for One-Time Installation of Super-Long Pipe Sheds in Tunnel Support Construction: A Case Study on Songhuai Youyuan Station (Line 9) in Zhengzhou Metro

In recent years, the pipe shed advanced support method has emerged as a new technique for excavating tunnels in weak surrounding rock. However, the necessity to maintain a certain inclination angle when constructing large pipe sheds unavoidably increases the excavation and lining quantities. Consequently, as the length of the pipe shed increases, construction errors also grow, resulting in larger excavations and backfilling works, thereby making it difficult to control the quality of pipe shed installations and limiting the development of the pipe shed method. Faced with the challenges presented by tunnel support construction as part of subway tunnel construction, this paper is based on the Songhuai Youyuan Station tunnel project involving Zhengzhou Metro Line 9. Field experiments were conducted, using high-torque horizontal drilling machines and pipe shed guiding technology to successfully complete the installation of a 208 m long pipe shed in a single operation (the longest in the world). Through case analysis and technological innovation, a feasible and effective drilling technology scheme was proposed. Compared with traditional methods, the key technology for installing super-long pipe sheds in a single operation reduced the construction time by 35% and construction costs by 25%, providing valuable insights for similar projects.
