Research on the Cave Exploration Technology of Overhead Transmission Line Tower Foundation

Abstract

Overhead transmission lines are the main form of high-voltage and UHV long-distance transmission. When the line path passes through limestone areas, mining areas and others, the possible existence of karst caves and mined-out areas under the tower base will have a greater impact on the stability of the foundation. According to previous detection experience, different underground cave forms and detection requirements need to choose suitable detection technology to obtain better detection results. This paper will explain the different detection technologies, combine multiple overhead line engineering practices, study the detection technology of underground caves, and guide the subsequent exploration of the tower foundation underground caves. Finally, carry out three-dimensional geological modeling of the exploration data, and study the application of three-dimensional data processing and display technology in the exploration of the line tower base cave. Through the above summary, analysis and experimental research, a complete set of technical solutions for the exploration of tower foundation caves on overhead transmission lines has been completed, laying the foundation for the further development of subsequent detection technologies.
