Zhang Geng, an expert on elevated dragon column in Yan 'an Road, Shanghai, explained to Legend of Kowloon Column that the construction of the elevated column was very difficult at that time, and the contractor asked the Shanghai Municipal Design Institute to change the design, but the design institute refused.
At this time, Shanghai Zhengyi Company, which is also building a section across Suzhou River in the northern section, has driven 98 piles with the same thickness into the ground. The design institute turned to us for help, and under the coordination of the Chengdu Road Elevated Construction Headquarters, the piling project of the intersection column was transferred to Zhang Renlai for construction.
Zhang Geng and his team took three measures during the construction. First, pile with an 8-ton hammer; Secondly, water is poured continuously during piling to play a lubricating role; Third, hammer continuously 18 hours to ensure the continuous deepening of the pile.
After changing the construction plan, Zhang Geng completed all 36 piles in one month and five days. Complete the construction of Chengdu Road viaduct node to ensure smooth traffic. It can be seen that the final penetration of piles depends on scientific modern technology, not geomantic metaphysics.
Extended data:
With regard to the legend of the Shanghai viaduct overpass in Kowloon, construction experts explained that piling under the overpass is extremely demanding, and it is necessary to drive the pile with a diameter of 5 meters into the ground more than 60 meters deep. At that time, the construction team that accepted this task only had experience in piling buildings, but lacked experience in piling under overpasses.
Coupled with the gap between the construction party and the technology, piling is on a hard geological layer and cannot be countered. Later, with the assistance of the design institute, a professional piling team was found and the pile was successfully driven down.
This pillar is tall and big, which also has a certain influence on the driver's driving. Then I remembered what measures should be taken to beautify this pillar. Only then did the sculptor design nine dragons hovering above the pillars.
