| Abstrakt: |
The Liefkenshoek Railway Link is a new railway line for freight transportation in the port of Anwerp. Along with two new 6,1km long bored single-track tunnels the Beverentunnel, a 38 year old reinforced concrete tunnel crossing the Waasland dock on the left bank of the river Scheldt, was incorporated in the new railroad track. The 1200m long tunnel was built in open trench before the dock was excavated. A test program was set up to gather information and to deduct the remaining lifetime. As results were positive the tunnel will be taken into service after a structural refurbishment. Assessing a structure’s lifetime becomes even more important as DBFM-contracts arise frequently. |
