During further inspection of the mountain after the blast, a geological crack was discovered.

This may have an impact on subsequent bridge infrastructure construction.

After Jian Yue learned the news, she rushed to the scene immediately.

Squatting next to the crack, carefully observing the direction and width of the crack.

"This crack is deeper than we thought and is in the direction of our planned infrastructure construction area. We need to reassess the geological conditions here and may have to adjust the foundation design."

Zhuang Mingdong was also looking at the crack with a serious expression.

"This is indeed a big problem. We need to find geological experts as soon as possible to carry out a detailed survey."

As a result, the project faced new challenges.

Geological experts arrived at the scene quickly. They brought various professional equipment and conducted a comprehensive inspection of the geology around the crack.

The test results showed that the crack was caused by structural changes in the underground rock layer, and the surrounding geological stability was worse than previously estimated.

Jian Yue, Zhuang Mingdong and other experts held an emergency meeting to discuss response plans.

Experts have offered several different suggestions, including changing the location of the foundation to avoid the crack area.

But this could affect the design and layout of the entire bridge.

Some have suggested using special reinforcement techniques to deal with cracks, but the cost and technical difficulty are relatively high.

Jian Yue fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons of each option.

This decision will have a profound impact on the entire project.

After a long discussion and analysis, Jian Yue proposed a comprehensive plan.

While ensuring the overall design of the bridge, the foundation position is fine-tuned and a new reinforcement technology is used to deal with cracks.

Although this technology is more expensive, it can minimize the impact on the construction period while ensuring the quality of the project.

Zhuang Mingdong and the experts conducted in-depth research and discussion on Jian Yue's plan and finally approved it.

Next comes the intense construction adjustment phase.

Jian Yue started to get busy again.

Work with engineers to modify design drawings and communicate new construction plans with the construction team to ensure that every step is executed accurately and without error.

During this process, she felt unprecedented pressure, but she never gave up.

After a while, everything was ready at the construction site and the construction of the base finally began.

The early morning sun shone on the construction site, but it did not bring any sense of relief to Jian Yue.

This is just the beginning of a new series of challenges.

The construction team began excavating the base as planned.

However, new problems arose not long after the work began.

First, the groundwater level was higher than expected, and groundwater continued to flow into the excavation pit, seriously affecting the construction progress.

Workers tried to pump out the water, but the pumps did not appear to be powerful enough to handle such a large amount of groundwater.

Jian Yue rushed to the scene and looked at the rising water level with a frown on her face.

"We need to increase the number of water pumps and find ways to build drainage channels around the area to direct the water flow."

Zhuang Mingdong immediately arranged for people to transport more water pumps.

Jian Yue worked with engineers to study the location and design of the drainage channels.

They were holding measuring tools and were busy measuring and marking around the construction site.

However, the geological conditions around the construction site are complex, and the soil is loose in some places, which makes collapse prone to occur when digging drainage channels.

"We need to use wooden boards to support this place to prevent collapse." Jian Yue loudly directed the workers.

The sound echoed in the noisy construction site.

The workers followed her instructions, but progress was still slow.

Every distance dug takes a lot of time and effort to ensure safety.

While the groundwater problem was still being dealt with, the base excavation encountered rock layers.

These rocks are extremely hard and difficult to damage with ordinary excavation equipment.

Jian Yue looked at those hard rocks and felt extremely anxious.

If the rock layer cannot be broken through as soon as possible, the construction period will be seriously delayed.

"We need to use some larger crushing equipment, such as hydraulic breakers," suggested Zhuang Mingdong.

Jian Yue nodded in agreement, but a new problem arose.

Large-scale crushing equipment has limited operating space in a narrow excavation pit and has a large impact on the surrounding soil and temporary supporting structures, which may cause collapse accidents if not handled with care.

Jian Yue and Zhuang Mingdong personally directed the operation of the equipment on site and kept an eye on the condition of the excavation pit wall.

"The force of each crushing should be smaller and the frequency should be slower. Pay attention to the vibrations around you." Jian Yue shouted to the operator through the intercom.

After several hours of hard work, the rock layer was finally broken through.

But before everyone had time to breathe a sigh of relief, another problem surfaced.

The soil test results of the base showed that there were soft soil layers in some areas, and their bearing capacity was far below the design requirements.

If the base is built directly on such soft soil, the stability of the bridge will be greatly threatened.

Jian Yue and the engineers urgently discussed solutions.

Some people have proposed the replacement method, which is to dig out the soft soil layer and replace it with high-strength earth and stone materials.

But this method requires a huge amount of work and will affect the construction period.

Others have suggested using pile foundation reinforcement, driving pile foundations into soft soil layers to improve bearing capacity.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Jian Yue decided to adopt a combined approach.

The replacement method is used for areas with thick soft soil layers, while the pile foundation reinforcement method is used for areas with thin soft soil layers and complex surrounding geological conditions.

Although this solution is complex, it can minimize the impact on the construction period while ensuring the quality of the project.

During the implementation process, the replacement work requires precise control of the excavation depth and the quality of the replacement materials.

Jian Yue held a level on site and carefully measured the excavation depth at each location to ensure that it met the design requirements.

For replacement materials, she personally checks the quality of each batch and does not let go of any unqualified soil or rock.

The construction of pile foundation reinforcement method is even more difficult.

The depth and angle of piling need to be strictly controlled. Any slight deviation may lead to uneven force on the pile foundation.

Jian Yue and the technical staff repeatedly calibrated the parameters of the piling equipment, and each pile was tested multiple times.

While dealing with these problems, Jian Yue had almost no rest.

His eyes were bloodshot and his voice became hoarse from shouting and commanding for a long time.

Running back and forth between the construction site and school.

Constantly review information, modify plans, and coordinate personnel from all parties.

Zhuang Mingdong looked at the exhausted Jian Yue with full admiration.

"Take a rest first. I'm here."

Jian Yue shook her head. "No, I won't be at ease until these problems are solved. This is related to the success or failure of the entire project."
