Subscribe to E-News Weekly 20/2005. 36/05.Ineco signed a EUR362,000 contract for the conceptual design of the tunnel extension to Cabuenes of the metro train line in Gijon. Read E-News Weekly 20/2005. Visit www.ineco.es 50-51/05.Open call for tenders, deadline 20th June, 2007 for design of the 2.6 km extension of the metro train to Cabueí±es. An EPB TBM instead of the cut and cover method will be used to bore the new tunnel from La Guia to Cabueí±es. Planners estimate mechanised tunnelling is more economical, has less impact on the environment and will reduce the construction time. The gradient ranges from 5% to 25%. Geology consists of medium to poor ground, probably with fractured zones (dolomites, limestone, dolomitic limestone, lutites and marly siltstone) and Quaternary soils (clay, alluvium). A mined or cut-and-cover tunnel will connect the existing TBM-built tunnel with its future extension. Read E-News Weekly 1/2007, 25/2006, 9/2006, 20/2005, 42/2004 & 36/2004.

E-mail dlh@gisa.es 16/04.It was initially planned to construct in open cut the subsection running from Sagrera-Meridiana to the exit shaft of the TBMs near the future high speed station in La Sagrera. Because of a planning clash between the construction of this subsection and the future high speed railway station, the project has been modified and will be TBM-driven. GISA has awarded the construction of this subsection, running from Onze de Setembre station to Sagrera-Meridiana to Dragados, Necso, Comsa, ACS and Sorigué for EUR89.8 million and a time frame to complete the job of 24 months. The contract also includes an extension to Line 4 from Santander to Sagrera TAV and Sagrera-Meridiana, with a 12 m-diameter tunnel and the new Line 4 station at Sagrera-Meridiana. The Sagrera TAV - Sagrera-Meridiana stretch of Line 4 will be used by Line 9 trains while the Onze de Setembre - Sagrera-Meridiana parallel section is used for spoil removal when work continues on Line 9 between Sagrera-Meridiana and Zona Universití ria. The new Line 4 section will be commissioned as Line 9 without being connected to La Pau, the current head of the line. Construction of both sections implies therefore that Lines 9 and 4 will run in parallel in separated tunnels between Sagrera TAV and Sagrera Meridiana. Sagrera-Meridiana will also be an interchange station between four metro lines (4, 9, 1 and 5) and the Renfe station. These companies are currently excavating the Gorg-Bon Pastor section by means of a 12.06 m-diameter Herrenknecht EPB shield. This machine has excavated over 1 km and recently passed Llefia station. The other EPB shield, 11.95 m in diameter, built by NFM Technologies launched from Can Zam on 20th June, 2003 is on schedule, having driven 1.7 km. The machine is between Singuerlin and Esglesia stations.
