Visit www.metrolisboa.pt and www.metropla.net/eu/lis/lisboa.htm 08/02.The water which flooded the tunnel between the future Terreiro do Paí§o station and the Marinha shaft, on the southeast extension to the Blue line, started to be pumped out on 26th August, 2002. This should take until mid-November, after which the tunnel will be inspected. The project has been held up since 9th June, 2000 when pressurized water and mud started to invade the tunnel while jet grouting was under way. Immediately, settlements affected the Praí§a do Comércio area and traffic was cut to heavy vehicles. Evacuation of the personnel was ordered. The 800 m tunnel was sealed between the Arsenal and Santa Apolí³nia shafts. As water ingress continued to flood the tunnel, it was decided to flood it completely to avoid soil liquefaction and further damage to surface buildings. Further studies were ordered and the project was altered. A team of Dutch specialists has been hired to help resume the project. Work completion has been set for end-2003. Metropaí§o, a consortium including Teixeira Duarte, Opca and Mota & Companhia, is responsible for construction. 37/02.The ACE JV formed by Somague, BPC, Engil, Spie and SBES will be using a refurbished Lovat EPB TBM to construct a 1.5 km Red Line extension, running east to west between Alameda and Sao Sebastiao.

The TBM, which previously excavated the Alameda-Oriente section on the Red Line and the Ameixoeira-Campo Grande section on the Yellow Line, commenced its job on 26th October, 2004 from a 35 m-long start box at Alameda station. Cutterhead diameter is 9.8 m. Precast segmental bolted and gasketed lining. Opening at end-2007. Visit www.lovat.com 48/04.Open call for tenders, deadline 16th August, 2006 for construction of section Oriente-Airport on the Red Line of the Lisbon metro, consisting of double-track tunnel (length 3,330 m, ID 8.7 m and OD 9.5 m) and single-track tunnel (length 457 m, ID 5.4 m, OD 6 m). The soils to excavate belong to a series of sedimentary formations of the Lisbon Miocene. The tunnel between Oriente and Moscavide crosses Braí§o de Prata areoles, under the Cabo Ruivo areoles, intercepting also, already in the zone comprised between Moscavide and Encarnaí§í£o, Grilos sandstones, Xabregas clays and Marvila limestones. Between Encarnaí§í£o station and the airport terminal station, the alignment cuts through Grilos sandstones and Xabregas clays and emerges in formations composed of Qta da Conchas limestones and Vale de Chelas sands. As per design, the excavation method is NATM. Bidders can propose the TBM method. If NATM method, the support will be bolts, wire mesh, steel arches, shotcrete and final concrete formwork. The machinery to be used will be proposed by the bidders. The other underground structures within the project are Moscavide, Aeroporto and Encarnaí§í£o stations, designed for a 105 m platform. The central part of the station will be built in cut-and-cover method, the remaining part will be NATM. There are also ventilation shafts. The scheduled date for contract award is December 2006. The scheduled date for excavation start and end is December 2006-March 2009 (tunnels) and December 2006-August 2008 (stations). The design company is Ferconsult.
