Abstract: |
Major rail projects pose numerous challenges for design, construction, installation, commissioning and later operation. In order to be able to harmonise all these sometimes very varied subjects and activities, extensive consideration is necessary in advance. Increasing tunnel lengths, more stringent requirements for tunnel safety and also for the demands to exploit the available technology are reasons for the massive growth of technical equipment that has been observed. This trend must be followed very carefully and critically, particularly in order that it does not lead to any further increase of maintenance costs, reduction of the availability of the facilities or limitation of the capacity or quality of operations. |
