INTRODUCTION
� “URUP”, Ultra Rapid Under Pass, An innovative shield tunneling technology.
� URUP tunneling, developed by Obayashi in Japan, it is an innovative shaft-less shield technology.
� This is the world’s first tunneling technology that uses a shield machine to tunnel underground through the entire length of tunnel from entrance to exit.
� It enables rapid construction of road and railway underpasses by using Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) which launches and arrives at ground level.
� The project involves circular TBM with diameters ranging from 2.1m up to 13.6m.
� The finest paradigm for this technology used is in “Central Circular Shinagawa Route Oi Area Tunnel Construction Project” in Japan.
contd…
Objectives� To the need for tunnel construction in congested areas, challenging ground
conditions and stringent physical and environmental constraints.
� This method eliminates the need for shafts so that it occupies less requirement of land and makes fast underpass.
� To get result in significant cost savings, reduced construction time and reduced environmental impact.
Advantages� The URUP method shortens the construction period by roughly 2/3rd and
significantly in cost also.
� It substantially alleviates traffic congestion associated with the construction work.
� The URUP method is environmental friendly by reduction in CO2 level and minimizes the noise and vibrations by equipment that arises from the works.
