Analysis of Fouling Pattern of Tunnel Drainage Pipe in Karst Areas by Jianbing Lv, Hao Wu, Jia Li, Xiaodong Wan, Helin Fu

“…As the groundwater in karst areas is rich in calcium ions, when the groundwater flows out of the tunnel drainage pipe, calcium carbonate crystals will be precipitated and then adhere to the pipe wall, which will easily cause chemical blockage in the drainage pipe wall, thus affecting the drainage efficiency and leading to the increase of water pressure outside the tunnel lining, affecting the safety and stability of the structure. Therefore, the blockage of calcium carbonate crystals in tunnel drains is one of the most important problems for the safe and normal operation of tunnels. …”
