After 21 months, five intermediate breakthroughs and a total of 2,489 meters of tunnelling, the City Tunnel of Leipzig has been successfully excavated. The Herrenknecht tunnel boring machine “Leonie” – a Mixshield with a diameter of exactly 9 meters – reached the target shaft on October 31, 2008. The 1,782 meter long twin tube City Tunnel which connects the two terminal stations, Leipzig Main Station and Bavarian Station, underground, is among the largest inner city infrastructure projects in Europe.

In order to guarantee safe tunnelling in the densely built-up Leipzig city center, the Mixshield was equipped with the seismic pre-exploration system SSP (Sonic Softground Probing). This means that boulders and other obstacles in the path of the TBM can be recog-nized promptly and the necessary dispositions can be arranged for. We congratulate the en-tire tunnelling team, the “ARGE Tunnel- und Ingenieurbau Leipzig Los B” as well as all other parties involved in the project for this magnificent success.

COMMENT

W elcome again to T&TI’s yearlyWorld Profile of TunnellingContractors & Consulting

Engineers. Once again we’ve had an encour-aging response from all corners of the world,all the more pleasing when considering we’rein the throws of one of the most cripplingglobal recessions in recent history. Hopefullyby now you’ve come to terms as best youcan with the current economic cli-mate and adjusted your plans for2009 accordingly.

Here at T&TI we’ve noticed animportant pattern emerging. Somecompanies are understandablybattoning down the hatches andcutting spending across the board.But others are actually investingmore. Here’s the basic divide. Thecompanies spending less seem tobe the larger multi-disciplinarycivil/mining/ construction compa-nies, whose tunnelling division maymake up a small yet effective sec-tion of the umbrella organisation.The larger spend is coming fromthose companies who specialisealmost purely in tunnelling.

This in no small way backs up the argu-ment that tunnelling may well be as reces-sion proof as any industry can be. As thelarger companies cut across the board, theymay be missing the important point thatinvesting in their smaller more robust depart-ments, such as tunnelling, could well helpsee them through tough times. Just becausegeneral construction is hitting the skids, aswe’re seeing in cities such a Dubai, it doesn’tmean civil engineering is being put entirelyon the shelf. For those larger organisations, Iwould urge you to look to the undergroundsector, as it would seem to be in pretty goodhealth. For the rest, carry on the good workand try to make the best of the currentdownturn. You are better placed than most!

T he seventh element of theBusan-Geoje immersed tubewas placed on the seabed

off the South Korean coast thismonth. It is the second offshoreseason in construction of the3,240m long tunnel, and placement

the immersed tube is more thanone-third complete.

Last month South Koreancontractor Daewoo E&Csuccessfully placed the sixthelement in the channel betweenGaduk and Jungjuk islands. Afterthis month’s success, it plans toplace another four elements in thecurrent season. In the first seasonthe JV placed four elements.

Given the harsh offshoreconditions in the area, thecontractor has to wait for waveheights of no more than 0.4m forthe four-day operation to immersean element. It is being assisted byspecialist forecaster Nowcasting ofthe Netherlands.

The immersed tube is be builtfrom 18 elements – 16 ordinaryelements of 180m length (made of8 x 22.5m long sections) andweighing 48,000t, and two specialelements. The elements are beingplaced at depths of about 15m-50m in the open sea channel.

The tunnel has two cells for two-lane traffic plus emergency lanes,and the external dimensions of themajority of the tunnel elements areapproximately 26.5m wide by 10mhigh. Walls are 1m thick.

Precasting the first four elementstook about 11 months, the next fourwere done three months faster andthe remaining batches are targetedto be built in seven months (T&TI,

November 2008, p34-37).The third winter/spring will see

the last seven elements placed.The full tunnel is 3,664m long,

including cut and cover portalstretches at either end, and theentire link – including two cablestayed bridges – is 8.2km long. Thelink, being developed through PPPby a consortium of local contractorsled by Daewoo E&C, is scheduledto be completed in 2010. The JV -GK Fixed Link Corp - has a 40-yearconcession for the toll crossing.

The tunnel is Daewoo’s firstimmersed tube and it worked withCowi on the design and also Dutchsubcontractors. A JV of Halcrowand Tunnel Engineering Consultants(TEC) is technical adviser,particularly on casting operations toensure watertightness at theunprecedented depth for aconcrete immersed tube. Full crosssections are cast in one process.

The elements have pontoonsand computerised winches tocontrol the rate of descent asballast tanks are flooded. Specialcollars with an external positioningsystem and jacks ease theelements together in the trench.

Metro tunnelling work inGreece is shifting focus with

the final breakthrough on the Line 2extension in Athens metro andmain excavation getting underwayon the Thessaloniki subway.

Completion of Line 2 tunnellingwas marked by hole through lastmonth at Aghios Dimitros station,which saw the 5.5km long singletube, double-track extension tie-into the existing network after 4.6kmof boring.

A refurbished and adaptedHerrenknecht shield was employedon the drive and operated by Seli,which is in the JV subcontractorwith Aegek, Aktor and J&P-Avax.Main contractor is a JV of Aktor,Vinci and Siemens. The developeris Attiko Metro.

Geology comprised soft to

medium soft strata, including riverdeposits, sandy clay, schist andsome limestone at the end. Theshield was run in EPB mode atdepths of 15m-30m, placing 1.5mlong rings of 9.18m o.d. and350mm thickness, and progresswas up to 15m per day. However,archaeological finds have delayedcompletion of the overall project bysome months to early 2010 (T&TI,October 2008, p8).

As main tunnelling ends inAthens, excavation has just startedgetting in Thessaloniki for a 7.7kmlong twin tube metro line with 13stations. Two 6.12m diameterHerrenknecht EPBMs will be usedto bore 5.3m i.d. tunnels eastwardthrough clay, sandy clay and sand,and spots of very weak ground,with cover of up to 28m in the

historic city.Seli and lead contractor in the

construction JV, Aegek, areexecuting the tunnelling worksunder a subcontract. Their JVpartners are Impregilo, AnsaldoTrasporti and Ansaldo Breda.

The country’s metro focus,however, will not remain solely onThessaloniki. The Government ispreparing to extend Line 3 inAthens out to Piraeus, and abudget of US$682M is assigned.

The 7.6km long underground linewill have six stations – AghiaVarvara, Korydallos, Nikea,Maniatika, Piraeus and DimotikoTheatro.

Shield drives will be used for6.5km of Line 3, and excavation willalso involve 10 shafts. Deadline forexpressions of interest is 30January. The competition was re-launched following major delays toprocurement last year when biddersbattled to block one another.

T he twin TBMs driving theparallel bores for the North-South bypass in Brisbane

achieved intermediatebreakthroughs in quick successionin December and early this month,and they are on schedule tocomplete the tubes by mid year.

Driving south from Bowen Hillsbelow Brisbane river to KangarooPoint, which is nearly 60% alongthe tunnel alignment, the 12.34mdiameter Herrenknecht TBMs eachhave another 1.5km to bore beforeterminating at Woolloongabba.

The double shield grippers –“Florence” and “Matilda” -

completed their 2.5km drives ofthe Clem Jones Tunnel (CLEM7)section of the bypass in ninemonths and 13 months,respectively. The TBMs are eachdriving 4.3km lengths, or 90% ofthe main tunnels, with covervarying from 6m-30m. Geologyalong the alignment comprisesmainly tuff (80MPa-150MPa)

RiverCity Motorway is buildingthe 6.8km long North-SouthBypass under a concession.Construction work is beingundertaken under a fixed time,fixed price design and construct(D&C) contract by LBB JV, a

partnership of LeightonContractors, BaulderstoneHornibrook and Bilfinger Berger.

LBB JV’s project director, AdamHudson, said: ‘We remain on trackto complete all tunnel excavationin the first half of 2009.’

Tunnelling works have also seena great deal of access, link andsome main tube excavations byseven roadheader on the project.The roadheaders began workalmost two years ago and thebores are almost complete (T&TI,July 2008, p25-27).

More than half the 60 crosspassages and substation passages

have been excavated. Fit-out ofthe tunnels began in August lastyear and is proceeding apace.While Bilfinger designed thesegmentally lined tunnels, principaldesign work on the scheme wasdone by a JV of Maunsell andParsons Brinckerhoff.

However, despite successes,Leighton group has reviewed thevalue of its equity stakes in anumber of transport schemes,such as RiverCity, due to theglobal financial crisis. Writedownshave been taken on a number ofinvestments, including in thebypass project (see p10).

The bored tunnel option toreplace the central waterfront

section of Seattle’s Alaskan Wayviaduct and seawall has wonbacking by state and local politicalleaders in the latest twist in thesaga but their recommendation willneed legislative approvals.

Backing for the approximately2.7km long twin tube tunnel cameas a surprise as the option hadbeen left on the sidelines in themost recent cost analysis, whichlate last year produced a shortlist ofonly two surface alternatives.

Construction of the tunnel is tobegin in 2011 and the completedlink be opened in 2015. The optionis the longest construction period(5.5 years for major works) but,

critically, it was the least disruptiveoverall for the city and businessesalthough its impact is on par withother options at the waterfront.

Deep tunnelling would alsoallow more flexibility in thedemolition schedule for theviaduct. In addition, the authoritiescited environmental benefits, andimproving bored tunnellingtechnology and economics, ashaving been important to theirpreference for the tunnel option.

The estimated total cost of thebored tunnel and associatedimprovements works to improvethe streets, waterfront and transit,and also for the cost ofdemolishing the viaduct on theSR99, is approximately US$4.24bn.

The cost to the state isestimated at US$2.82bn for thedemolition, tunnel boring andsome road works. King County isto cover US$190M and US$15M inannual costs related to transitservices, and City of Seattle’sbudget contribution is US$937Mfor utility works, constructing apromenade, introducing a steetcarand other city improvements. Acontribution of US$300M is alsodue from the Port of Seattle.

Following failure to decide on areplacement option in 2007, afresh analysis of some original andadjusted concepts (including asmaller bored tunnel) was done of13 months. Eight surface andtunnel options were studied with

the aim this time to see how thecity’s overall transport andeconomy could be improved, notonly replace the viaduct andseawall.

All three tunnel options Thestudy, however, dropped all tunneloptions (including two cut andcover), although there were meritscited for the bored tunnel.

The eight “core” options for thereplacement works on SR 99 onthe central waterfront were threesurface alternatives (US$800M-US$900M), two elevated(US$1.6bn and US$2.2bn) andthree underground (US$1.9bn-US$3.5bn).

In the early 1990s, the viaductsuffered seismic damage.

W ith multiple metro linesunder development,Shenzhen – on the

border of mainland China, next toHong Kong – saw three NFMTechnologies’ shields commenceexcavation on Line 3 in the last twomonths, and a Lovat TBM is dueon site in March.

In total, NFM is to supply 12shields, each 6.28m diameter, forthe expansion of the city’s metronetwork. At present, Shenzhen hastwo lines in operation – Line 1 andLine 4, which began service at theend of 2004. The city, inGuangdong province, plans tohave its major expansionprogramme competed by 2011.

The first shield was launched inNovember to excavate the 2,535mof twin tube tunnel in Line 3

between Hong Ling station andLao Jie station, which is to be akey interchange with existing Line1. The latter station is also ademarcation point for the east-west split of Line 3, and the shieldis working at the beginning of thewest side.

On the east side, the secondand third stations, Cui Zhu andTian Bei, will be linked by parallel2,400m long bores excavated bythe second NFM shield. BeyondTian Bei lies the fourth station inthe east section, Shui Bei, and theNFM shield launched last monthwill undertake 1,085m ofexcavation to link them.

Of the nine other TBMs the

company will supply to the city,one EPBM is currently beingassembled on site for excavationworks on the extension of Line 2.The other eight machines arebeing factory assembled fordelivery to various sites in the citynext year.

Lovat is supplying an EPBM(RME246SE Series 24700) to themetro project, and this follows its

recent delivery of a 6.3m diameterEPBM to the same contractor –China Railway Tunnel Group(CRTG) – for work on subwayexcavation in Guangzhou, inGuangdong. The latter TBM(RME246SE Series 24600) isscheduled to start driving a2,500m long bore in mixedconditions below groundwaterlevel from the end of this month.

Shanghai Tunnel EngineeringCorp (STEC) last month

launched its first large diameterslurry shield to bore a tube besidethe existing DaPu Road tunnelbelow the river Huangpo inShanghai.

The 11.22m diameter TBM willdrive a tunnel approximately 3kmlong tunnel below the riverHuangpo. Expanding the capacityof the strategic road link isimportant to the success of thecity in hosting World Expo 2010.

The TBM research anddevelopment was carried out inhouse by STEC under the projectcode “863”, the company said,adding that it holds full intellectualproperty rights to the shield.

STEC added that its work also

proved that there was theproduction capability ofmanufacturing such shields withsynchronised grouting capability,segment erection, slurry systemsand electro-mechanical controls.

The Huangpo drainsnorthwards to the Yangtze river, itsmouth close to where the locationof the Pudong side of the majorbridge and tunnel scheme beingbuilt over the river via Changxingand Chongming islands.

Between Pudong andChangxing Island, a JV of STECand Bouygues recently completedparallel bores using twinHerrenknecht TBMs which, at15.43m diameter, are the largestever shields used on a project(T&TI, October 2008, p7).

Excavation on North ShoreConnector light rail project in

Pittsburgh has been completedwith the hole through earlyJanuary of the TBM driving thesecond parallel tube.

However, a significant fundingshortfall exists for the entirescheme due to tender costsbeing greater than expected formany packages, including thetunnelling works.

The client, Port Authority ofAllegheny County, is seekingUS$117.8M under the federalstimulus package overseen byPresident Obama. Overall, theentire project is 27% overbudgetat US$553M. It is trying to avoidshutdown of the project.

The 6.5m diameter TBM wasrelaunched on the northbounddrive in October and achieved anaverage daily advance rate of10.4m over the 680m long borebelow the Allegheny river.

However, the second bore wasmuch faster than the first,

southbound, drive which waslaunched a year ago and holedthrough last July.

Geology on the short runscomprises mainly silts, sands,gravel shales and claystone withlenses of limestone, but thegroundwater level reaches 14.5mabove the shield.

Following retrieval anddismantling of the HerrenknechtMixshield (S-374), the parts willbe stored locally on behalf of themanufacturer until it decideswhere to send the machine, saidthe client.

The full length of the runningtunnels, consisting of twin boresplus cut and cover sections, is1.9km long. A JV of Obayashiand Trumbull is undertaking thetunnelling works, and the shell ofthe North Side station, in acontract valued at US$156.5M.

The drives were originally tohave been finished around thethird quarter of 2008 (T&TI,October 2008, p10).

Excavation of the Pinglu watertunnel in China is more than

half finished with fair advancerates despite tough geology, andthe shield has been prepared todrive the final, 12.15km long bore.

The JV contractor includingAlpine Bau, part of FCC group,has achieved an average progressrate of 750m per month on thefirst, 13km long drive. Followingbreakthrough late last year, the4.82m diameter Robbins doubleshield has been overhauled inunderground chamber, at Daliang.

The alignment of the 25.15kmlong conveyance tunnel in Shanxiprovince passes through faultzones and coal seams. In total,the tunnel will be lined with83,450 precast concretehexagonal segments of 250mmthickness.

The TBM was provided by the

client, having been used on anearlier stage of the scheme andwas overhauled and convertedprior to the start of the drive inAugust 2006 (T&TI, September2006, p8).

The US$62.5M contract wasawarded in 2005 to Shanxi Sino-Austria Hydraulic Engineering Co,which includes Alpine Bau andlocal partners, including the WaterIrrigation Bureau, the provincialGovernment, and ShanxiWanjiazhai Construction &Installation. The plannedconstruction period was 42months to complete this year.

The tunnel is part of the YellowRiver Diversion Project, being thenorth main branch to supply theregions of Pinglu, Shuozhou andDatong. The client is ShanxiProvince Wanjiazhai Yellow RiverProject General Corp.

E xcavation is due tocommence soon on theTsuen Wan sewer project in

Hong Kong. A 7.27m diameterTBM being supplied by Seli will beused to handle hard rock as wellas unstable and squeezing groundat faults.

Seli is a member of the JV, ledby Maeda and China RailwayEngineering Co (CREC), that hasbeen hired by Hong Kong’sDrainage Services Dept to drivethe 5.1km long storm relief sewer.

The Italian firm is also supplyingthe shield and auxiliary equipment,

and perform the excavation, undera separate contract to the JVvalued at US$18.8M. The shieldwill arrive shortly, after the portal iscompleted on site.

Geology along the alignmentcomprises volcanic tuffs andgrandiorites. The TBM has 19”cutter discs, cutterhead thrust of25,200kN and drive power of2,520kW. The cutterhead speed isup to 7 rev/min.

The concrete segmental liningis 250mm thick, and the finishedinternal diameter is 6.5m.

The entire contract awarded tothe JV is valued at HK$1.123M(US$145M) and also includesthree intake works, drainage andsubsidiary works to be completedby 2011.

Supervision for the client isbeing performed by Mott Connell.

The contract was awarded tothe JV at the end of 2007.

Seli designed andmanufactured the double shielduniversal (DSU) TBM within 10months, and workshopacceptance was in October.

NCC Construction recentlycompleted the latest stage of

repairs to the Soderled road tunnelin Stockholm using hydrodemolitionand sprayed concrete to removeand replace the reinforced concretedamaged by de-icing salts.

Hydrodemolition was called forby the capital’s road managementdepartment, which has had therepair works underway in stageson the 1,550m long twin tubetunnel. The works are part of afive-year programme of concreterepairs on the tunnel and adjacentbridge, which were launched in2005 following discovery of waterleakage and corrosion.

The hydrodemolition workswere undertaken by specialistlocal subcontractor E-Shakt usingrobots supplied by compatriotConjet. The works removedchloride-damaged concrete to

depths of 30mm-70mm on thewalls, and 5mm-10mm on thesoffit, and exposed and cleanedrust from rebar where required.Water was supplied to the robotsby Conjet Powerpacks at apressure of approximately 1000Bar and flow rate of 200 l/min.

Conjet supplied three robotsfor the works – the 322, 362MPAand 364MPA.

The damaged concrete hasbeen replaced on the soffit with a35mm thick porcelain-impregnated, fire protecting SCLplaced by NCC. To protect thewalls, the contractor sprayedapproximately a 60mm thick layerof steel fibre reinforced concrete.Additional protection to the wallsis being provided by sacrificialprecast concrete panels that are4m long by 2m high, and eachcan be replaced as required.

Further key steps forward for the£15.9bn (US$22bn) Crossrail

project in London were announcedlast month that cover additionalfunding commitments, a dozenfirms awarded design frameworkagreements and a shortlist of firmsto be Project Representative.

The City of London Corporationhas committed up to £350M(US$483M) towards the cost of themain line rail transport schemethrough the heart of the capital.Funds of £200M (US$276M) will bedirectly contributed by theCorporation, which will seekcontributions from City businessesfor the balance but has guaranteeda third of the remaining sum.

Funding of £150M (US$207M)has also been committed byCanary Wharf Group (CWG) but istied specifically to development ofthe station to be built at thecommercial hub in east London.The real estate firm also plan toundertake the design and buildwork for the new Canary Wharf boxstation, which has a fixed pricebudget of £500M (US$690M) and isto be completed by 2012. CWG willtake the cost overrun risk.

BAA also recently committedfunds to the project.

In the procurement process, lastmonth a dozen consultants wereawarded framework agreementsto bid for Crossrail designpackages. The agreements last forthe entire duration of the project,which has rail services due tocommence from 2017.

The 12 parties are: Aedas Group;Atkins; BDP; Capita Symonds;Halcrow; Hyder Consulting (UK);Jacobs Engineering UK; MottMacDonald; Ove Arup; ParsonsBrinckerhoff; Scott WilsonRailways; and, WSP UK.

Last month also saw the projectdeveloper, Cross London Rail LinksLtd (CLRL) become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Transport forLondon (TfL).

CLRL is developing the east-west rail link to be undergroundthrough the capital and tie-in tosurface lines either side of London.The project involves excavation of atotal of 41.5km of 6m i.d. twin tubetunnels and the developeranticipates tunnelling works, due tocommence in 2011, will requireseven TBMs.

The project won Royal Assent inJuly 2008. Enabling works for thescheme start this year as do somestation works, such as at Canary

Wharf.Mainconstructionactivities arescheduled to begin in2010. The bulk of funds for thescheme are being contributed byGovernment through TfL, and latelast month the Department forTransport issued the shortlist offirms invited to bid for its projectoversight contract.

The nine parties able to tender tobe the Department’s projectmanager for Crossrail are: ArcadisAYH; Atkins; Booz & Co withsupport from Aecom/ Turner &Townsend; Jacobs Engineering UKwith support from KPMG; MottMacDonald with support from Ernst

&Young/

FirstCo; NicholsGroup-Nicholas Arup JV withsupport from First ClassPartnerships/ NTTX; ParsonsBrinckerhoff with support fromDavis Langdon; Parsons GroupInternational with support fromGardiner & Theobald; and, PraxisHigh Integrity Systems.

Crossrail has been led byexecutive chair Douglas Oakerveewho is set later this year to handover the reins to Terry Morgan,presently chief executive of TubeLines. Morgan will become non-executive chair of CLRL.

A joint venture of Colombian,Mexican and Spanish firms

has been awarded the contract tobuild the La Linea road andtunnel project in the Andeanregion of Colombia.

The successful JV – SegundoCentenario – was awarded thecontract by the Ministry ofTransport having submitted atender of Pesos 629bn(US$282M). The tunnel workshave been budgeted to costPesos 334bn (US$150M), orslightly more than half of theentire bid value, and the project isto be finished in 2012.

Segundo Centenario JV includesthe following firms: Condux;Constructora Herrena Fronpeca;Constructora Carlos Collins;Alvarez y Collins; PromotoraMontecarlos Vías; Tuneles deColombia; Construirte; Gayco;

Tecnicíviles; HyH Arquitectura; and,Miguel Camilo Castillo Huertas.

The project involvesexcavation of the 8.8km long LaLinea tunnel and associated newroad links to improve freighttransport between Calarca andCajamarca in the Central AndeanCordillera. The new link willreduce the travel distancebetween the cities by more than aquarter to 33km, and the fasterjourneys (by up to 80 mins) willsee heavy vehicles not have tocover another 840m in altitude.

The winning JV beat off sevenrival bidding groups that wereshortlisted and submitted tendersin the two-stage assessmentprocess. In the first stage therewere two groups that failed topass the technical, legal andfinancial parts of the assessment.The second stage saw the sealed

tender prices opened from the sixremaining JVs.

In total, the bid assessmentcriteria saw the winning JV have atally of 1000 points while therunners up – Futura Plan Vial delPacifico JV and Futura TuneelexaJV – had 886 and 857 points,respectively, said the Institute forRoads.

The former JV was aColombian-Brazilian venture thatincluded OAS, Mario AlbertoHuertas Cotes, Procopal, Meyanand Ingenieria de Vias. The lattergroup was a Colombian-ChineseJV that included Vergel yCastellanos, China Railway 18thBureau Group, Oilquip, JoseJavier Castellanos Bautista andAlfonso Vergel Hernandez.

During the procurement processthe Government set a budget capof Pesos 710bn (US$319M) and

time limit of 70 months. Thewinning bid was 11.5% lower thanbudget. A full length pilot borepreceded the main project toreduce geological and constructionrisk. The project is part of a largerscheme to improve transport overthe Andes between Bogota and theport of Buenaventura.

The La Linea scheme isexpected to reduce accidents bythree-quarters, bringing them inline with the national average.The Government forecasts thatthe scheme’s benefits willimprove the economy byUS$40M per year.

The other five JVs that bid forthe contract were an entirely localgroup, three JVs with foreignpartners – two of which hadItalian pairings and one Chinese,and a Korean JV (T&TI, October2008, p6).

A joint venture led by Hochtief has been awarded a contract to build atunnel complex for physics research project involving X-rays nearHamburg, Germany. The US$267M package of tunnelling work will require

approximately 5.8km of bores plus shafts to be constructed with workcommencing this month. The job involves sinking six shafts and excavating thetubes at depths up to 26m. Tolerance for the tunnels is 100mm along the lengthof the complex.

Construction on the projects is due to be finished in April 2013 and theclient, Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) research centre, aims tostart operations with the European XFEL X-ray laser facility in 2014. Thescheme is funded by ten EU countries, Russia, China and two German

states, and is being built to help study viruses, chemistry andplanetary physics.

The most recent high energy physics centre to be built inEurope involving major tunnelling works was CERN’s Large

Hadron Collider. Europe is also a candidate locationfor the International Linear Collider (ILC), which

calls for 72km of tunnels (T&TI,September 2008, p8).

The Australian company hasstakes in two tunnels in Brisbaneand a scheme in Melbourne, theconcession schemes having beendeveloped by RiverCity Motorway,BrisConnections and ConnectEast,respectively. In total, combinedwith Leighton’s new views on someother transport stakes, it is towritedown such investments it hadat the end of 2008 by Aus$200M(US$138M).

RiverCity is building the North-South Bypass Tunnel (NSBT) inBrisbane, which involves

roadheader drives plus 4.3km longtwin TBM bores, both of whichhave achieved intermediatebreakthroughs (see p5).

BrisConnections is gettingunderway with the Airport Link,which runs north from NSBT andwill have 5.7km long twin tunnelsas part of the project. It has twoTBMs on order. ConnectEast builtthe EastLink road and tunnel inMelbourne, which opened in mid-2008, five months early. The routehas 1.6km long twin tubes (T&TI,July 2008, p11,12).

Leighton said that for the fiscalyear 2008-9, the writedown hasbeen booked against the first sixmonths, ending 31 December2008. It added that the writedownwill reduce aftertax earnings for theperiod by Aus$170M (US$117M).

No details were disclosed on thebreakdown of the total writedownbetween the investments on a pre-or post-tax basis.

The company’s parent group,Hochtief, said the lower stockprices did not reflect the real worthof the infrastructure projects. It said‘their business prospects have notchanged’. However, it noted thatLeighton’s board had elected tomake the writedown in marketcapitalisation to reflect the currently

reduced equity levels.Before accounting for the

writedown, Leighton’s operatingresult for H1 is expected to be 8%up at approximately Aus$270M(US$186M). By the end of theperiod work in hand was up 4.8%to Aus$37bn (US$25.48bn) overthe three months to 31 December.

The other transport equitystakes held by Leighton are in theDevine and Macmahonbusinesses.

Indian hydropower developerSatluj Jal Vidyut Nigam (SJVN)

has called for prequalificationsubmissions on two projects –Naitwar Mori and Arun III – that callfor a total of more than 15km ofheadrace excavation plus apowerhouse cavern and a series ofdesilting chambers.

SJVN is seeking to prequalify aturnkey contractor for the NaitwarMori project in northern India and aconsultant for the Arun III scheme inNepal. The deadlines have beenreset a number of times and are 10February and 20 January,respectively.

The Naitwar Mori project will bebuilt in the state of Uttrakhand andcalls for excavation of a 4.3km longheadrace tunnel with a 5.6m widemodified horseshoe-shaped crosssection. Some excavation will alsobe required for the partlyunderground powerhouse.

Site investigation works haveincluded 400m of drilling and2,300m of geophysical surveys. The

headrace is to be driven throughpredominantly quartz and chloritemica schists for the first quarter ofthe route, and the majority of thealignment is in biotite gneisses withschist bands.

The EPC contract is to befinished within 36 months.

Last year, SJVN was awardedthe concession contract to developArun III, which will involve majorunderground excavations:• four underground desilting

chambers, each 110m long by17m wide by 28m high;

• a surge shaft, 23.4m diameter by97m deep;

• a 11km long headrace tunnel of7.5m diameter; and,

• a powerhouse cavern, 161m longby 22m wide by 35m high.

The consultant is wanted to do siteinvestigations and documentpreparation to take forward thescheme. The work is expected tolast about two years.

SJVN is a JV of the Governmentof India and Himachal Pradesh.

VMT has moved up its businessto trading status in China from

a service-only operation.The Germany-based

international company hadoperated as service-only in Chinasince 2006 to supply guidancesystems for tunnelling machines,and also undertake consultationsuch as for evaluation ofsegmental lining positioning.

VMT’s measurement servicesalso provides precision

measurements of precast concretesegment moulds and thesegments cast to construct rings.

Its Shanghai-based tradingbusiness has supplied 110operating systems up toNovember last year. The newstatus also enables VMT to offerfull distributor rights for US firmBrunson Instrument Co.Separately, VMT is also distributingsystems for US company HamarLaser.

B ids from each of the threeshortlisted consortia to

design a possible tunnel for theFehmarn Belt between Denmarkand Germany were received lastmonth and are to be assessedover three months to choose awinning tender.

However, as the developer,Femern Baelt A/S, has yet tofinalise the choice of method ofcrossing it had also invited bids todesign a cable stayed bridge forthe link. It plans to develop thebridge and immersed tube tunneldesigns in parallel until such timethat a clear advantage for either isdetermined.

The groups shortlisted toproduce the tunnel design for theroad and rail crossing over the19km wide strait are:• A JV of Cowi and Obermeyer

Planen + Beraten withsubconsultants Flint & NeillPartnership and Dissing +Weitling;

• A partnership of Grontmij/CarlBro, Faber Maunsell, Bung,Grontmij/BGS and CapitaSymonds; and,

• A JV of Ramboll Danmark, OveArup & Partners Internationaland Tunnel EngineeringConsultant with subconsultantsWTM Engineers, HTGIngenieurburo fur Bauwesen,

Wilkinson Eyre Architects andSchonherr Landskab.

Last year the client noted that thetunnel option was not, at thatstage, the favourite because thebridge alternative was cheaperprior to survey and other detailedstudies. The tunnel was priced atEuro5.5bn (US$7.35bn – 2007currencies) against Euro4.3bn(US$5.74bn) for the bridge (T&TI,September 2008, p6).

The tunnel option will remain inrunning until about 2011 asfurther geotechnical andenvironmental survey work isundertaken.

The envisaged tunnel wouldbe a 18,565m long immersedtube plus 1,890m of ramps.Construction could start in 2012to enable the link to open in 2018.It would have two 10m wide roadcells and two 6.37m wide railcells, and a ventilation islandwould be built in the middle of thecrossing.

The consortia seeking todesign the tunnel are each mostlythe same groupings pursuing thebridge option. A fourth shortlistedJV bidding for the bridge is led byHalcrow and Mott MacDonald.

Femern Baelt A/S is asubsidiary of Sund & Baelt A/,which is overseeing developmentwork and design procurement.

GRP Tubes for pre-tensioning ATP’s Anchoring System T-SH200

ATP is a firm highly specialized in developing and manufacturing structural composites for tunnel application. ATP’s products are sold and delivered to many European Countries, as well as in the Africa and Middle-East, all the way to the Far-East. In the area of large infrastructure works (roads, highways, toll-highways, railroads) utilization of GRP (Glass Reinforced Polymericmanufacts) has been limited to pre-consolidation of tunnels face. In traditional applications, the GRP elements act essentially as passive anchors, in other words, as the reinforcing strips of reinforced earths retaining walls; they had never been proposed for pre-tensioning mainly because of problems related to methods of applying and maintaining the pre-tensioning levels.ATP’s T-SH200, thanks to its special steel terminal , eliminates all problems of application of axial tensile loads. The T-SH200 anchoringbolt is a 60 mm OD – 40 mm ID composite tube, with a rough outersurface to improve adhesion, manufactured by “pultrusion” utilizing thermosetting polyester resins and continuous glass fiber reinforcements. The uniqueness of the system is “ the Head”, proprietary design, realized in steel in a way to allow application and holding tensioning of the bar up to 300 KN (but recommended for 200 KN design load).Main application of this product is for soil nailing to stabilize cups and slopes. It can also be utilized as “isolated” anchoring in retaining structures or to contrast hydraulic pressures. The pre-tensioning anchors T-SH200 of course offer also the traditional advantages of the GRP composites:

! Excellent corrosion resistance; ! Environmental respect: non polluting;! In case of lime stabilized embankments, metal anchoring would greatly suffer pH > 10-12 conditions, while GRP anchors

will offer excellent resistance;! The electric insulation of GRP avoids necessity to provide and maintain costly “grounding” for protection against dangerous

stray currents (as for metals).

The first application of T-SH200 has taken place at site portal of tunneling construction of “Galleria Manganaccia”, at the Bologna side entrance. This structure is part of the third lane addition in the project of “Variante di Valico” on the Milano-Napoli A-1 highway, and precisely at the section between Sasso Marconi and Barberino di Mugello close to Florence.
