SYNOPSIS

In this workshop, the participants will learn about the design principles of bored tunnel segmental lining, ground settlement assessment due to bored tunneling and basic principles of segmental lining bored tunneling construction with Earth Pressure Balance Machine (EPBM) and Slurry Shield tunnel boring machine(Slurry TBM), as well as pipe jacking micro tunnel boring machine. With this understanding, the participants will next learn about the various Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for the safe bore tunneling process using bored tunnel machine (TBM). KPI for bored tunneling is important to ensure that the tunneling is safe and does not have adverse impact to the adjacent ground and buildings. The participants will learn about the sequence of work for bored tunneling from construction of TBM shaft, erection of reaction frame, temporary rings, initial drive and main drive. This will equip the participant the necessary basic knowledge in design and construction supervision of bore tunneling works. It is very important to have a comprehensive and clear framework to ensure bored tunnelling underground projects are being carried out in a safe manner and well managed. This worshop will illustrate a good and practical framework for design submission approval, construction supervision and management for bored tunnelling works. This workshop will use some case histories to illustrate some of the more commonly encountered regulation frameworks to be complied with.
