Globally, underground spaces have been widely used to house industry, utility and transport infrastructure in the heart of urban areas, to reduce their. negative impact on city living. Good planning and implementation approaches have been instrumental to the success of these underground developments.
The design and construction method and construction organization are also advised, especially for the crossings and close overlap interchanges between the NATM tunnels.
The FOT has placed the order for the Gotthard Base Tunnel and the Ceneri Base Tunnel with ATG and, in this role, is also responsible for funding the project. The FOT is also the authority responsible for the authorisation of railway operations and, in this role, is responsible for inspecting all installations and equipment (infrastructure and rolling stock) and for issuing operating licences to all operators.
A wind tunnel is a chamber through which high-speed air is passed. Models of aircraft (or actual aircraft) can be mounted in a wind tunnel so that flight conditions can be simulated and engineers can study how well a design will fly. Wind tunnels have been used for over 100 years.

Two examples – one system. The ben- efits of TMS speak for themselves: preci- sion and production optimisation. A reduction of over-break of just 10 cm at a typical 1000 m tunnel will result in potential cost-savings of well over 0.5 million US$.
A number of short bored tunnels are located on State Highway 14 along the Columbia River.Built in 1940 and rehabilitated in 1993, the WSDOT’s twin-bore Mount Baker Ridge Tunnel (see Figure 1.5) 19 carries I-90 under Seattle’s Mount Baker neighborhood to Lake Washington (see Figure 1.5) 20 .
The tunnel construction clearance is 14.5 m in clear width and 5.0 m in clear height; the maximum excavation span is 17.85 m and the maximum excavation height is 12.18 m, which belongs to the
Construction and Maintenance of Hoist — Reg. 5(1) 4. A hoist shall be – (a) of good mechanical construction; (b) made of strong and sound materials; (c) free from patent defect; (d) properly maintained; (e) fixed and anchored by adequate arrangements to secure
A British film from Gaumont Studios, The Tunnel (also called TransAtlantic Tunnel), was released in 1935 as a futuristic science fiction project concerning the creation of a transatlantic tunnel. It referred briefly to its protagonist, a Mr. McAllan, as having completed a British Channel tunnel successfully in 1940, five years into the future of the film’s release.
Most of the road tunnels were designed as a twin tunnel dual-carriage system with one traffic direction in each tunnel.
In the twin-tunnel with unidirectional traffic, the design driving speed is 80 km/h, and the cross-sectional area is 62.79 m 2. The maximum ventilation airflow for the two tunnels is 502.32 m 3 /s. The predicted peak traffic is 1082 vehicles/h in 2025 and 2032 vehicles/h in 2033.
In this phase, Central Diaphragm (CD) and Side wall Drift (SD) methods were proposed for tunnel construction and appropriate method was selected based on its potential to limit surface settlements.
JekkoUSA introduces lithium ion-powered SPX1280 minicrane. With a 2+ ton pick-and-carry capability, and a 7+ ton lifting capability, the electric SPX1280 brings versatility to any indoor or
specify design criteria that are close to those of the MTL wind-tunnel thereby simplifying the transfer of projects between the two wind-tunnels. The main design criteria are listed in the table below, Closed circuit wind-tunnel. Good ow quality (mean
