| Abstract: |
When building a metro in a medieval city like Nuremberg the challenges are not limited to the actual tunnelling. The limited amount of space available and various construction management issues have to be considered in planning just as much and just as carefully. This report describes the problems that ensued in the design and construction of the 1,1 km long track between two stations, which methods were used to solve them and how this was achieved. Detailed descriptions of the construction methods are given as well as the reasons behind the special constructive solutions that were used. The floating slab system used in the Nuremberg metro system is also explained and how it increases comfort and reduces noise pollution. |
