During the construction of stainless steel threaded pipe fittings, once a large amount of water enters the trench and reaches a certain water level, it will not only float up the pipe that has just been laid and not covered with soil, but also make the filled soil (soil on the top of the pipe) (Shallow) Stainless steel threaded pipe fittings may also float. This is because when the buoyancy of the water is greater than the weight of the tube (including the weight of the water in the tube and the weight of the soil above the top of the tube), the tube will float up due to loss of balance. In this way, the floating pipe may cause the position of the pipe to move, the deformation of the pipe body, the cracking of the pipe mouth, and the silt under the pipe. If so, stainless steel threaded pipe fittings must be reprocessed before they can be used. This has a lot of impact on project progress, project quality, cost and work mood. Therefore, during construction, all necessary measures should be taken to avoid such accidents.
How can we prevent the occurrence of floating tube accidents?
Arrange construction procedures reasonably
In the arrangement of the project, it is necessary to make reasonable construction deployment. For the whole line of stainless steel threaded pipe fittings, a reasonable construction process should be determined according to the specific situation. During the rainy season construction, make one section, close one section, and try to reduce the working area. Also shorten the construction period of each section, leaving no tails. Do not avoid blooming across the line, disperse forces, and arrange construction regardless of key points. This is the key to avoid floating tubes.
