| Popis: |
The works for running the Tyne and Wear Metro system underground through the centres of Newcastle and Gateshead entailed tunnelling mainly in boulder clay under Newcastle, to the north of the River Tyne, and in the extensively mined coal measures rock under Gateshead to the south. The geology, tunnel design philosophy and methods of construction used for the tunnelling and station construction in these different ground conditions are described as well as some of the problems encountered. Details of plant used and rates of tunnel advance are given for the main tunnelling works. Some of the special techniques adopted for underground station design and construction in Newcastle are described. |
