EPBM tunnelling in Downtown Vienna

摘要

The 2.6km long Lot 02/03 section of the Wien River Valley Collecting Sewer (WSKE) has recently been driven under the Wien River using an 8.6m EPBM. The tunnel is situated in the centre of downtown Vienna and passes beneath Line 1 of the metro with just 3m clearance. Dietmar Bach and Wolfgang Weinmar, of construction supervision JVMetz-IGT, and Andreas Ilmer, project leader for MA 30, give a short report on the largest tunnel built so far by an EPBM in Austria.
