  • Patent number: 11525231
    Abstract: A grouting and pile forming device includes a compartment box and a double-spiral-tube structure. The double-spiral-tube structure includes an outer spiral tube and an inner spiral tube, which are nested and fixed together. A top part of the outer spiral tube and a top part of the inner spiral tube are hermetically connected. An inner space of the inner spiral tube forms a grouting cavity. A space between the outer spiral tube and the inner spiral tube forms a drainage and delivery cavity. A plurality of drainage and delivery holes are provided in a tube body of the outer spiral tube. A construction method for strengthening soft soil through the grouting and pile forming device includes the following steps: 1) operation preparation; 2) downward spiral penetration; 3) drainage consolidation; 4) chemical consolidation; 5) upward spiral lifting; and 6) repeated operation until all soil to be strengthened is treated.
