| Abstract: |
This paper presents an alternative TBM tunnel solution for the Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link, based on two new concepts for the construction of tunnels: the TMG concept for rail tunnels and the TMF concept for road tunnels. The application of these concepts in the project allows a solution that, in addition to low environmental impact (which is typical of the TBM tunnels), have improved safety during operation and very low cost. |
