Tunnelling contracts and site investigation

— Attewell, P.B - Nama Orang;

This present book is divided into two parts: Part One is the core text and Part Two is a compilation of 'Supplementary Information' items, each expanding a particular element of the core text. Most of these Part Two special subject entries are of a 'stand alone' nature, some of them are fairly substantial, and some are much more peripheral to the core of the subject than others.
The book generally relates to the relatively 'routine' small diameter (up to about 3m) bored tunnels. Shafts are mentioned occasionally in the text. Not discussed at all are immersed tube tunnels, as completed across the River Medway in Kent, as under con- struction for the cross-harbour Hong Kong Airport Railway, or as planned for the Peveza- Aktion crossing at the entrance to the Ambracian Gulf in north-west Greece, and also tunnels formed between diaphragm walls and a pre-cast roof slab, or tunnels built by rein- forced caissons, both methods of construction as used, for example, for rail tunnels in Amsterdam. The book has been written primarily from a practical tunnelling point of view for people who have some, but not necessarily an extensive, knowledge of tunnelling.
