Tunnel Shafts: Types, Construction, and Advantages
Tunnel shafts are vertical passages that connect the ground surface to the tunnel roof. Shafts have many advantages and are used in constructing tunnels. When the position and course of the tunnel are correctly aligned and accordingly set out on the surface, shafts are sunk at defined points on the tunnel line to aid tunneling operations.
Shaft Design and Construction - TBM: Tunnel Business Magazine
2012年4月5日 · When designing a shaft, ask yourself these four key questions: Where is the groundwater table? What type of ground will be excavated? How much working space is needed? How deep is the tunnel horizon? The answers to these questions determine which shaft construction methods are feasible and best to use on your project.
Shaft Construction and Applications in Tunnelling Projects
Construction Shafts: Temporary shafts are often constructed to facilitate the removal of excavated materials, as well as the transportation of construction materials, machinery, and personnel during tunnel construction. Emergency Egress Shafts: Situated along tunnelling corridors, these shafts function as vital escape routes during emergencies ...
In tunneling projects, shafts are often used for launching the tunnel excavation and are usually on the critical path of the project schedule. Shafts provide access to mass transit and underground rail tunnels for passengers, an escape route, or other types of services such as utility corridors from surface to tunnel level.

Shaft Construction - Bradshaw Construction Corporation
Understanding Shaft Construction. Except in the cases where tunnels are started at a portal into the side of a hill or embankment, most utility tunnels are started and finished at the bottom of a vertical shaft. Before determining a shaft design, the minimum size of …
Shaft Construction Methods - Hatch Ltd
2013年6月25日 · Shafts are often vital access for construction, operation, and maintenance of tunnels and underground structures. No one-size-fits-all approach exists for shaft design and construction and because of this, the method used for the construction of a shaft must be carefully selected in order for specific project requirements to be met.
