Research on Pollution Prevention and Control Technology for Bored Pile Construction

Abstract

Bored pile construction is a widely adopted foundation technique in civil engineering, valued for its adaptability to complex geological conditions and its capacity to support heavy structural loads. However, the construction process generates significant environmental impacts, including the discharge of large volumes of drilling slurry, noise pollution from heavy machinery, vibration disturbances, and the potential contamination of surrounding soil and groundwater. These environmental risks pose challenges to sustainable construction practices and regulatory compliance, necessitating the development and implementation of effective pollution prevention and control technologies. This research focuses on the systematic investigation of pollution control strategies specifically tailored to bored pile construction. The study examines the sources and characteristics of major pollutants generated during various stages of construction, including drilling, slurry circulation, and concrete pouring. Based on a comprehensive review of existing technologies and field observations, the research evaluates the performance of key control measures such as slurry treatment and recycling systems, closed-loop circulation techniques, noise reduction equipment, and sedimentation pond design. Additionally, the study explores the integration of real-time monitoring technologies and digital management platforms to enhance the precision and responsiveness of pollution control efforts. The findings indicate that a combination of technological innovation, rigorous on-site management, and adherence to environmental standards can substantially reduce the ecological footprint of bored pile construction. This research provides practical guidance for engineering practitioners and contributes to the broader goal of promoting environmentally responsible practices in foundation engineering.
