Estimation of peat soil freezing time for various systems of its temperature stabilization during roadbed formation

Various options of soil temperature stabilization systems and corresponding roadbed structures consisting of a number of unified modules used for freezing wet peat during construction of temporary driveways along the trunk pipeline route are considered. The required time for freezing moist peat soil to the required depth is estimated with various layout solutions for temperature stabilization systems and roadbed module structures. Technological schemes of thermal stabilization systems are presented, design features of modules of the formed roadbed are reflected. Field of application — roadbed and systems for freezing and temperature stabilization of peat soil.
