SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION OF UNDERGROUND TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURES

Ziel

Cut and cover tunnels are a vital tool for the construction of transport infrastructures which are needed for the development of the Trans European Transport Network. This method is widely used for the construction of road/railways tunnels, but it must now satisfy a new set of requirements: urgent need for safer and more cost effective techniques and reduction of environmental impact of the construction (use of natural resources, noise, disruption of traffic, etc). The SCOUT project introduces a breakthrough for the construction of cut-and-cover tunnels, which is characterised by a holistic approach:
-Implementation of the Observational Method for a full control of construction and delays,
-Optimisation of the design, based on the central concept of double-skin structure,
-A radically new construction concept of equipment, with a modular architecture to be used in a large variety of tunnel configurations and soil profiles,
-Development and testing of new applications of composites materials to optimise the efficiency of the structure,
-Establishing a roadmap towards the recycling of excavated materials. The project is driven by industrial partners, and will include the construction of a pilot wall to validate the construction concept and the execution of full scale tests on composite structure members . Project results will decrease construction costs by more than 30% and production lead times by 30%, and will therefore open new perspectives for the construction of cut-and-cover tunnels to create or upgrade new transport infrastructures. They will include:
-Recommendations guides for the optimisation of cut-and-cover projects,
-Guide for the implementation of the Observational Method;
-A breakthrough concept of drilling equipment for the construction of cut-and-cover tunnels,
-New concepts for composite cut-and-cover structure members.
