Greek jv Aktor SA has placed a $12 million order on Sandvik Tamrock Corporation for 24 units of drillrigs, loaders and trucks to be used mainly on the Egnatia highway. Visit www.sandviktamrock.comAktor reports progress at three sites, all of which involve twin-tube highway tunnels of up to 110 sq m excavated section, sometimes with 65 sq m top heading in advance. Excavation and support is varied according to ever-changing ground conditions, but always includes grouted rebar bolts, steel arches and shotcrete. 4.6 km-long Driskos and 3.3 km-long Dodoni are at elevation 850 m asl in the Pindos mountains near Ioannina at the western end of the Egnatia highway, and Veria is in the central section where three short tunnel of lengths 1 km, 200 m and 300 m are under construction. Driskos has advanced 180 m on each face from the south portals without incident and work is starting to establish the north portals using extensive forepoling. At Dodoni work is from the east portals where the right hand tube has advanced 170 m. The left hand tube is at a standstill at 70 m while a 1,000 cu m cavity formed by running ground is stabilised by pressure grouting using a Haeny ZMP 710E pump. At Veria, the left hand tube from the south portal of the first tunnel has advanced a cautious 40 m in 60% phyllite which disintegrates on contact with water. Putzmeister shotcrete jumbos are in use at all sites.
