BTS January Meeting : Three Great Challenges - Experiences from TBM Tunnelling in Difficult Ground

15/01/2021

On Thursday 21st January 2021 at 18:00 hrs [GMT] Online at : https://youtu.be/SN3htCiU3FA  Lok Home – President, The Robbins Company will be hosting a webinar on youtube called Three Great Challenges - Experiences from TBM Tunnelling in Difficult Ground.


When boring through the earth, even extensive Geotechnical Baseline Reports can miss fault lines, water inflows, squeezing ground, mixed face conditions, rock bursting and other geological challenges. That reality is compounded when tunnels are extremely long, in remote locations, or under high cover.

In this lecture, Robbins’ President Lok Home will discuss three of the most challenging projects in recent memory: The 43.5 km long AMR Water Tunnel, the geologically diverse Sleemanabad Carrier Canal (both in India), and China’s Yin Han Ji Wei project in challenging rock bursting conditions.
