Call for tenders imminent with a view to starting construction before end-2000. January 2000. Restricted tendering deadline 2nd May, 2000 for construction for RATP of rolling stock garage and maintenance tracks for 14th metro line at Olympiades station including 700 m of twin-track tunnel. Contact Dept ITA, unite IDI, bureau P 6028 fax +33 141 953310. April 2000. RATP, the Paris metro operator, explains that the "geological accident" which left a 15 m-deep crater in the night of 15th February in the playground of a school was unpredictable and is due to a very weak limestone layer. The last measurements taken the day before the collapse revealed no anomalies. Up to 3,000 cubic metres and 400 square metres have been swallowed in the collapse above the Bibliothèque Franí§ois Mitterrand-Olympiades section of Line 14 under construction by Bouygues. A 15 m-wide 145 m-long underground rolling stock garage and maintenance workshop is under construction in limestone at a depth of 10 m underneath the school. Tunnelling of the vault was under way but no support had been installed yet when the landslip happened.The City of Paris has lodged a complaint to the Administrative Court so that an independent expert be appointed to determine the exact origin of the collapse. The city also commissioned a geological investigation of the Paris subsoil to BRGM (Mining and Geology Research Centre). The Ministry of transport has also ordered a technical investigation to the Conseil Général des Ponts et Chaussées, an inspectorate body of the ministry. Fifteen families living in a neighbouring building have been evacuated and will stay in hotels for six weeks until reinforcement work, which began on 21st February, is finished.

Public enquiry considered route proposal which may include 54 km tunnel under Mt Ambin amongst others. March 1998.   Mt Ambin base tunnel now known as AlpeTunnel and 52 km alignment is being defined by long exploration boreholes. Proposed railway will shave 3 h off the journey from Lyon in France to Turin in Italy and is a top priority project within the EU. Route will carry 10.5 million passengers and 14 million t freight each year. Tunnel will take six years to construct and will cost $5 billion. Design is for twin 8 m-diameter tubes with 30 to 50 m separation linked by cross passages. Located mainly in calceschists, metamorphic basement rocks, Triassic dolomites and quartzites with schists, Jurassic marls and limestones, sandstones and flysch. Window access at Venaus (7 km-long), Modane (6.5 km-long), La Praz (8.7 km-long), and St Martin la Porte (1 km-long). $315 million preliminary design investigation programme will include some tunnels between 2001 and 2007, when work should commence on main tunnels for six years. Commissioning scheduled for 2015. Second 12 km-long tunnel required on Italian side to bypass Bussoleno. Sept 1999.   Six deep exploration holes of between 2 and 3 km underway on Alpetunnel alignment between Torino and Chambery by jv AlpExploDrilling comprising Dentag Europe, BRR and Foralith. Currently completing 1.8 km hole at Avrieux using Wirth B5 and will move to Etache for a 3 km hole using a Dentag drillrig. Visit www.foralith.ch for more information. Sept 1999. Underground station at Modane will increase projected cost to $6 billion. Preliminary work schedule under consideration for 2001-2006 financed 50% by EU to include geotechnical investigations in the Suze valley and construction of adits and pilot tunnels. Decision due later this year on final alignment. June 2000.   Agreement signed between governments for $10 billion Lyons-Turin (F-I) line with 52 km base tunnel for construction 2006-2015. Access tunnels should start at St Martin la Porte (F), La Praz (F), Modane (F) and Venaus (I) during 2002. Feeder routes will also require tunnels, notably for 14 km beneath Epine (F) and Dullin (F) ranges, 20 km beneath Chartreuse (F) mountains, and 12 km under Belledonne (F) mountains. The 12 km Bussoleno (I) and 8 km Borgone (I) tunnels are also on the main alignment.
