Contract T216
Construction of Steven Station and Tunnels

for Thomson East coast Line
Presentation to BCA for TBM-4

(24/08/2017)
1
Currently TBM 3 has mined from R109 to R185
So far the TBM performance is very good and

successfully undercrossed 2 properties
Only a small over excavation was observed at R142

which happened after resuming mining after CHI. It was
compensated by TBM body grouting in the following
rings. 2 probe holes were carried out from surface to
prove no void exists and grouted
No sign of distress
Continuous body / backfill grouting
All the instrumentation readings are stable
