Abstract: |
In the course of constructing the new Vienna - St. Pölten high-speed railway line, three TBM tunnels with an excavated diameter of approx. 13 m were driven between 2005 and 2010. The total length of these three tunnels including portal structures, cut-and-cover and top-down sections was approx. 7.4 km, of which 6.2 km were excavated by TBM-S. The tunnels were constructed with drainage systems and two-pass linings in the tunnel arch. During the feasibility study, the permit application design and the tender design phase, detailed risk analyses were performed for excavation method (TBM or NATM), machine type (TBM-S or SM-EPB) and lining type (single- or two-pass). The expectations of the client during the design phase and those of the contractor during the bidding phase are compared and discussed, taking into account construction time considerations, geotechnical risk assessments, lining design, machine type and construction sequence as well as the allocation of risks between client and contractor. The reality of the project, i.e. the construction time actually needed, the challenges encountered, the problems solved and the joint approach adopted to implement the project as well as the lessons learned (experiences and findings) are all described. |
