| Abstract: |
With the advanced technologies and the innovative solutions in sub-sea tunnel crossings in the recent years, very deep and very long sea crossings with immersed tunnelling technology under challenging ground and environmental conditions becomes feasible and competitive. Unique design solutions and innovative construction methods are being adopted for longer and deeper sub-sea crossings by immersed tunnelling method. Making use of advanced technologies such as BIM from preliminary design stage until end of the construction optimizes the proposed solutions and maximizes the efficiency of the engineering works. This paper discusses about the recent advancement/improvement of immersed tunnel construction technologies applied for sub-sea crossings by giving examples from the recent mega projects. |
