TBM : METHOD OF CONSTRCUTION

This method starts by excavating a trench to provide a space for assembly the TBM components. The trench is reinforced with diaphragm walls and steel struts.

At the end of the point, the trench will be excavate similar with the start point as a receiver trench for the TBM. Upon arrival, the TBM is then dismantled and brought upon to the surface

PROBLEM DURING TUNNELING WORK

1
PROBLEM : Noise & vibration nearest building EFFECT : Disruption to nearest premise SOLUTION : Strictly control the noise & vibration

PROBLEM : Geotechnical environment EFFECT : Drilling different type of soil (from hard rock to soft soil)

SOLUTION : Using slurry types of TBM
