Abstract

With the recent increase in maintenance works on water and sewer pipes as well as district heating supply pipes, pavement cutting work using pavement cutter is on the rise. The pavement cutting operation generates considerable dust (cutting sludge) as well as noise; therefore, it is necessary to apply eco-friendly technologies that have low noise and dust recovery capability. Thus far, various equipment for recovering dust have been developed; however, there is a limitation in that the environmental friendliness is not quantified. Therefore, in this study, we developed a low-noise, dust-recovery type pavement cutter that can fundamentally remove the causes of environmental hazards such as noise and dust and evaluated the eco-friendliness of the pavement cutting process performed by this cutter. To this end, an integrated water cooling-sludge recovery system composed of a vacuum device and a sludge suction unit was developed, and the developed system was applied to a pavement cutter. Subsequently, the developed equipment was applied to the test bed, and data related to its eco-friendliness were collected and evaluated. The results showed that the cutting sludge recovery rate of the developed equipment was greater than 83%, the noise level was approximately 82 - 83 dB, and the sound power level was 115 dB. The results of this study will be used as basic data to develop improved pavement cutters in the future with improved cutting sludge recovery performance and lower noise.

최근에 상하수관로, 지역난방 열공급관로 등의 유지보수가 증가하면서, 도로절단기에 의한 도로절단 작업도 급증하고 있다. 이러한 도로절단 작업은 소음과 함께 분진(절단슬러지)을 많이 발생시키므로, 저소음, 분진회수 등 친환경적인 기술이 적용될 필요가 있다. 기존에 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 분진을 회수하는 장비가 개발된 사례가 있으나, 친환경성이 정량화되지 않았다는 한계가 있었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 소음 및 분진과 같은 환경위해요인의 발생원인을 근본적으로 제거할 수 있는 저소음·분진회수형 도로절단기를 개발하고, 이 절단기로 수행하는 도로절단작업 과정에 대한 친환경성을 평가하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 진공장치와 슬러지흡입부로 구성된 수냉-슬러지회수 통합시스템을 개발하고, 개발된 시스템을 도로절단기에 적용하였다. 그리고 개발된 장비를 테스트 베드에 적용하고, 친환경성 관련 데이터를 수집하여, 친환경성을 평가하였다. 평가 결과, 개발된 장비의 절단슬러지 회수율은 83% 이상이었으며, 소음도는 82~83 dB, 음향파워레벨은 115 dB 수준이었다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 도로절단기를 개선하는 과정에서 절단슬러지 회수성능과 저소음 성능을 향상시키는 데에 기초자료로 활용될 예정이다.
