Robbins
TBMs at Chongqing metro
Two 6.4
m-diameter Robbins Main Beam TBMs were launched in winter
2009-2010 beneath Chongqing, a Chinese mega-city of over 35
million people. The two machines are excavating twin 12 km-long
tunnels for Line 6 of the Chongqing Metro, and are the first
hard rock TBMs to be used in the city.
Each machine is boring under sections of very low cover, ranging
from 10 to 60 m in sandstone from 12 to 50 MPa UCS. Both High
Performance (HP) TBMs started up from a common portal after
shop assembly in Chongqing. The first machine was moved through
the start chamber on a specially designed walking cradle,
and began cutting rock on 11.12.2009. The second machine was
launched a month later. As of late-February, 2010 the two
machines had excavated 800 m and 420 m respectively, starting
under about 20 m of cover. The tunnels are the first new lines
to be excavated for the city's metro system, which is planned
to include a network of nine rail routes, both above and below
ground, and approximately 30 km of tunnels excavated by both
TBM and drill/blast. Read
the full press release. 10/10.
The two
Robbins TBMs are boring under low cover of as little as
10 m, and must negotiate curves down to a 400 m radius
Kolkata
Metro East West corridor
The EUR754.4
million East West corridor of Kolkata Metro Rail Project is
a medium capacity system covering approximately 15 km from
IT hub Salt Lake Sector V to Howrah. It comprises a 5.7 km-long
elevated section and a 9 km underground section, each with
six stations. The underground alignment runs from Howrah Maidan
to Howrah Station, passing below Hooghly River, Mahakaran
Station, Central Station, Sealdah Station, Phool Bagan Station
to Subhas Sarovar. For the map visit www.kmrc.in/home.php.

Transport Plan: Connecting the City of Cities. It includes
a 25-year strategy for land use planning for Sydney, and a
10-year fully funded package of transport infrastructure for
the Sydney metropolitan area. As part of this plan, construction
of the Sydney Metro Network Stage 1 (Rozelle to Central) and
Stage 2 (Central to Westmead) has been stopped, and resources
and funding have been reallocated to a range of other projects
over the next 10 years. Click au/31.

Mammoth Genoa underground motorway agreed
A memorandum
of understanding was signed in Genoa on 08.02.2010 for the construction
of a 23 km underground motorway, including the Gronda di Ponente
and the Rapallo-Santa Margherita Ligure tunnel. The public debate
last year considered five
alternative routes and revealed a new solution, which reduces
the environmental impact. The alignment passes through a geological
succession including asbestos. Drill/blast and hydraulic hammers
will be used in every tunnel east to Val Polcevera crossing,
those belonging to San Benigno junction, Voltri tunnel, and
tunnels on A26 connection; mechanized excavation with Hydroshield/EPB
TBM will be used for the remaining tunnels, west of Val Polcevera,
and in the asbestos zone. Click
here for the details. The No 2 alignment became the preliminary
design. See the SPEA Autostrade report.
Planned investment is EUR3.1 billion. 08/10.

Major
collapse at Gilgel-Gibe hydro
Gilgel-Gibe
hydroelectric power plant is located in the Great African Rift
Valley region of Ethiopia. It’s 26 km-long headrace tunnel
cuts through heterogeneous and complex geological formations.
It required the highest construction standards, and is an outstanding
engineering achievement. However, some three months after commissioning,
a collapse has occurred over 15 m of the tunnel at point pk
8.980 from the outlet portal. As a result, the plant, inaugurated
on 13.01.2010, has been closed for repairs. Ethiopian Electric
Power Corporation (EEPCO) has appointed Salini Costruttori,
SELI and a team of expert consultants to establish the cause
of this event, and to institute repair measures. For more on

Elasto
Plastic Concrete in Atlantic Ocean tunnel
More
than ten major tunnelling projects in Norway are benefiting
from the use of Barchip structural synthetic fibre to reinforce
their shotcrete linings. Barchip,
a product of the Elasto Plastic Concrete group, is designed
to replace steel mesh and steel fibres in reinforced shotcrete,
which may be subject to corrosion in harsh environments, particularly
in subsea drives such as the recently opened Atlantic tunnel.

Aker
Wirth TBM for Switzerland
Aker Wirth
has been commissioned to construct and deliver a gripper tunnel
boring machine (TBM) by ARGE Zugangsstollen Limmern (AZL). The
order has a total value of over EUR20 million.
AZL comprises six companies: Rothpletz, Lienhard + Cie AG, (CH);
Baresel GmbH, (DE); Wayss & Freytag, (DE); G. Lazzarini
& Co. AG, (CH); Andrea Pitsch AG, (CH); and Ragotti+Weber
Bau AG, (CH).
The machine will be used for the subterranean expansion of the
Linth-Limmern power plant in Switzerland, boring approximately
4 km from the access gallery near the village of Linthal in
the Canton of Glarus, to the new machine cavern.
The tunnel, with a diameter of 8.03 m, will set a new record
for inclined TBM drives. It rises from 800 m to approximately
1,800 m above sea level with a constant gradient of 24 percent.

Stuttgart
21 project starts in Germany
Work on the
Stuttgart 21 project finally started on 02.02.2010. Initially,
the existing Stuttgart main station will be replaced with a
subsurface station 12m below ground. The historic main building
will be retained, and will provide access to the four platforms
and eight tracks of the future station. A feature of the project
will be the 9.5 km-long Filder tunnel, running south from the
main station to a new station serving Stuttgart airport and
the trade fair grounds. The second part of the project will
comprise the development of the high-speed line to Ulm, to be
built parallel to the A8 Autobahn. The total investment for
the railway project Stuttgart-Ulm divided into EUR4.088 billion
for Stuttgart 21 (57 km with 33 km underground) and approximately
EUR2 billion for the Wendlingen-Ulm (60 km with 30 km in tunnel).
