Diagnostics of condition of soil lying in the foundation of sewer collectors and metro tunnels by crosshole sounding method in urban underground space

[摘要] Non-destructive geophysical crosshole sounding method can be used to control and monitoring the condition of natural and improved soils. This work studies the application of the crosshole sounding method to determine the condition of soils lying in the foundations of sewer collectors and tunnels. The investigation uses crosshole sounding apparatus APZ-1 developed by LLC "Geodiagnostika". The study considered the results of crosshole sounding of soils at the site of the reconstruction of the Church of The Icon of the Mother of God "Joy of All Who Sorrow" and on the section of buried metro tunnels between "Lesnaya" and "Ploschad Muzhestva" stations in St. Petersburg (Russia). The author postulates that crosshole sounding provides the most accurate information about the foundation soils for making a decision on strengthening them for trouble-free operation of sewer collectors and tunnels.
