Abstract:In order to ensure the construction quality and economy of steel pipe column in subway station by cover excavation reverse method, relying on the positioning construction background of steel pipe column in Zhongcaosi subway station of a phase I project of Guiyang metro line, adopts the manual positioning method in the steel casing, which is analyzed and expounded from the aspects of positioning method comparison and selection, technical control points, construction key and difficult point control measures, implementation effect and so on. According to the manual positioning results of 145 steel pipe columns, the average actual positioning progress of steel pipe columns is 1.7 pieces / day, and the construction period is saved by 15 days; The actual construction cost is 43000 yuan / piece, and the average reduced project cost is 16000 yuan / piece. Research conclusion: the selection of manual positioning of steel pipe column in steel casing is relatively reasonable, and the technical and economic achievements are remarkable. It can provide reference for the positioning construction of steel pipe columns in other similar projects.
