Tunnel Lining Description Type: Prefabricated Concrete Segments Inside Diameter: 2,743 mm (108”) Thickness: 190 mm (7.5”) Length: 1,219 mm (48”) Configuration: 5 No. 67.5º Segments 1 No. 22.5º Key Segment Grout Output: Through the segments
TBM Description TBM Type: Earth Pressure Balance-RME129SE Manufacturer: LOVATCut Diameter: 3.289 meter TBM Length: 9 m, Nominal TBM + Back-up Length: 70 m, Approximately TBM Weight: 88 tonne, Approximately TBM + Back-up Weight: 160 tonne, Approximately Consumption of electricity per hour: 112 kWh Average bored distance per day: 20 to 30 metres Curvature: Minimum Horizontal Radius: 150 m Maximum Slope: 0.8% TBM guzzled up 112 KW per hour, a little more than the amount of electricity that an averageCanadian family consumes per week.

Surveying Methodology • Find all the control points and Bench mark nearby the project • Select a unique datum for horizontal control points (NAD27) and for vertical datum (MSL) • Design a stable geodetic network for over ground to meet the construction tolerance • Select the surveying instrument based on your pre-analysis for geodetic network • Establish new control points and bench mark with aid of GPS, total station and precise levels • Mapping all the over ground features, property lines and buried utilities (ground coordinates) • Re-layout the alignment on your drawings and check the distance from property line and other features • Check the alignment vertically to avoid of hitting existing utilities • Re-check the curves in the designed alignment with consideration of the minimum curve radius • due to gantry and geometry of the Rings • Layout and mark all the surface monitoring points and the shafts Over Ground Traverse
Establish underground geodetic network Zigzag traverse for under ground geodetic network Wall Station
Navigation System for TBM There are six manufactures for TBM guidance system 1-Tacs made by Dutch 2-ZED made by UK 3-PPS made by German 4-VMT made by German 5-Centerline by German Specialist in Micro Tunneling 6-ENZA made by Japan 7-D&P made by France Each one has advantages and disadvantages which author is not going through them. ZED is used for this project.

The Major Source of Errors in Alignment • Instruments were not enough accurate • Computations mistakes • Levelling mistakes
Gyro or Alignment Hole Alignment Hole North Finder
The minor Source of Errors in Alignment • Geology of the area (Soft or hard ground) • Operator fault (Non selecting a proper thrust pattern by operator) • Malfunction of articulation sensors • Malfunction of Inclinometer • Laser • Total Station • Segment configuration • Broken teeth or blunt teeth • Boulder on the way
