Tunnelling through Gassy Ground
Closed Face TechniquesIsolation and VentilationA closed face Slurry Machine isolates
tunnel interior and construction crews from contact with the tunnel muck and ground water.
EPB machines do not normally contain muck beyond the end of the screw conveyor , but ……….
EPB muck can be diluted to make a pumpable slurry
Gas neutralizing agents can be mixed with soil in front of the EPB machine to reduce off-gassing of soil and ground water
Tunnel segments that seal out water and gas
Ventilation to deal with gases that do
enter the tunnel

Station Construction
Steel soldier piles, wood lagging and struts Slurry walls / secant piles may be used where
groundwater or gas and tar are concerns Concrete deck panels are placed on deck beams
over the excavation during construction. Excavation occurs from beneath the deck.

Traffic is maintained above the excavation
during station construction
