STRUCTURE

uangzhou, third largest city in China with 7 million inhabitants and which benefits economically of the proximity of Hong-Kong and of the special economical area of Shenzhen, decided to enlarge is metro with creating a new line (the 3rd

one). The work has begun in 2002 for a public opening of this new line in 2007.

THE CONTRACTOR:

Work carried out

using the TBMs

The 3rd line will be of 34.7 km in

tunnel with 17 stations. The 2

NFM Technologies / Wirth

machines will drive 2 parallel

tunnels of 1928 m in length.

This part of the line will connect

Hanxi and Shiqiao stations.

Geology mainly consists of soft

sands, sandy clay, chalk, silk as well as weathered rock.

OVERALL PROJECT:

Drilled length: 2 x 1,928 m

Soils: soft sand, sandy clay,

chalk, silt, weathered rock.

Roofing: 6.5 m to 56 m

Minimum radius of curvature: 300 m

Maximum slope: 3%

Overall inner diameter: 5.4 m

Liner used for tunnel segments:

Number/shape: 5 + 1 key joint

Thickness: 300 mm

Length: 1.5 m
