Abstract:At present, the basic construction of transmission lines in mountainous areas is mainly based on manual hole digging technology, which has the problems of low construction efficiency and high safety risk, and cannot meet the increasingly strict requirements of power safety production. Based on the experiences in production of rotary drilling rigs more than 20 years, and combined with the construction pain points such as complex mountainous terrain, difficult transportation and high rock compressive strength, a modular micro-pile drilling rig with light weight, simple disassembly and assembly, and strong rock penetration ability is developed. Based on the geological characteristics of "thin soil, thick and hard rock" in mountainous areas, the corresponding construction methods for modular micro-pile drilling rig are proposed, which preliminarily solves the actual construction problems. The successful developed modular micropile drilling rig for mountainous areas not only improves the mechanization of foundation construction in mountainous transmission line project, but also provides a technical and construction method reference for power line engineering construction in mountainous areas.
