| Abstrakt: |
The Guangzhou government has decided to build a new university city and academic campus on a rural island surrounded by the Pearl River for further progressing higher education and economic developments. A number of fixed links crossing the River are urgently needed as part of the trunk roads towards the university city. The preference of tunnel options to the bridges is for avoiding large-scale relocations of facilities and to protect the scenery of the river banks. Luntou tunnel being constructed by immersed tube method becomes the second tunnel crossing the Pearl River. As the area required for casting basin would be quite large and such land space is not available near the site of built-up area, fabrication of tunnel units on submersible barges is adopted. This innovative technique is discussed in this paper. |
