...H R DAVIES The Jubilee Line Extension took the London Underground network for the first time into the difficult waterlogged sands and gravels in the south east of the capital. However, there were very few problems with the now tried-and-tested technology of earth pressure balance tunnelling...

... influenced by a contractor s preference. Do you consider that a slurry TBM would have had similar problems? (Mr. Sternath)? Certainly on the Channel tunnel, water pressures of between 6-8 bar were recorded in the fissured chalk marl through the first 3 kms of the UK undersea drives but these had little...

... in 1995, the 1·8 km long, 8·4 m dia. tunnel has been built to accommodate double-stack container trains and replaces an existing century-old tunnel link. The concretelined tunnel was driven by one of the largest ever full-face earth pressure balance machines through soft squeezing clay with shallow cover...

... and difficult for tunnelling. The glacial tills contain boulders up to 3 m in size and the chalk marl was expected to be highly fissured. Hydrostatic pressures in the till and in the marl can be as high as 5 and 8 bar respectively. 11. The preconsolidated glacial deposits are dominated byclaytill which contains...

The main advantageof this system was that there wanso requirement for grouting or secondary liningas itcould withstand internal water pressure equivalent to1.5times...
