Abstract:

The Lyon-Turin rail link project is a major part of the European Corridor no. 5, Lisbon-Kiev. The management and use of the excavated materials have been identified as one of the major issues concerning project approval since the very first stage of the study. The following paper describes the methods chosen by the French and Italian authorities to improve the use of some 20 million t resulting from the excavation of 150 km of tunnels, representing 60 million t of materials. The presentation mainly focuses on two tunnels, the Chartreuse tunnel - 24.7 km, two tubes - and the base tunnel Maurienne-Ambin - approx. 53 km, two tubes - under the Alps between France and Italy. All the tools today available are being used by the designer in order to prepare the tender documents, including industrial test production of concrete aggregates. The important role of the owner of the project is also mentioned with the aim of optimising the management and recycling of the excavated materials.
