2 Phase 2a - Tunnels Tim Smart 27 March 2018 P6 (1) HOC/10001/0002

3 Why Tunnel? Terrain Connectivity Surface Disruption P6 (2) HOC/10001/0003

4 Tunnel Locations P6 (3) HOC/10001/0004

5 Tunnel Briefing Agenda Construction (1) Tunnelling techniques (2) Settlement (3) Construction aspects Operational Aspects of Tunnelling (1) Safety arrangements (2) Vibration Cost implications (1) Costs of tunnelling P6 (4) HOC/10001/0005

6 Construction Tunnelling Techniques Bored Tunnels Shield type machines with precast segmental tunnel lining Used when surface access is very limited at depths typically below one tunnel diameter Longer tunnel lengths where economical to use machine Cut and Cover Tunnels Typically concrete box structures constructed in excavated ground Used at shallower depths where there is good surface access Mined/Sprayed Concrete Lining Tunnels Mechanically excavated with sprayed concrete lining in suitable ground conditions Used in shorter drives and cross passages P6 (5) HOC/10001/0006

7 Bored Tunnels Earth Pressure Balance Tunnel Boring Machine (EPBM) Construction P6 (6) Operational Aspects of Tunnelling Cost Implications HOC/10001/0007

8 Bored Tunnels HS1 EPBM in factory showing back up arrangements P6 (7) HOC/10001/0008

14 Cut and Cover Construction Methodology 1 P6 (13) HOC/10001/0014

15 Cut and Cover Construction Methodology 2 P6 (14) HOC/10001/0015

16 HS1 Cut and Cover Tunnel P6 (15) HOC/10001/0016

17 Settlement & Rate of Tunnelling The rate of tunnelling is dependent on ground conditions. It is also important in minimising settlement, which is achieved by operating tunnel boring machines appropriately such as using Earth Pressure Balance machines in closed mode. In order to keep settlement to acceptable limits HS2 has specified maximum of 1% volume loss for bored tunnels. The Promoter s policy on ground settlement is set out in Information Paper C14. Continuous 24 hour tunnelling also minimises settlement as it doesn t allow time for the for the ground to fully relax. P6 (16) HOC/10001/0017

18 Construction Aspects Noise from Tunnel Drive Site Bored tunnelling activities and the associated local site material handling will be operated 24 hours a day. Noise mitigation is provided by the standard means such as hoarding, muffling, baffles and noise suppression on plant and equipment. Tunnel sites will be subject to the same HS2 procedures set out under the Code of Construction practice and will be subject to Local Authority Approval under Section 61 of Control of Pollution Act. P6 (17) HOC/10001/0018

19 Construction Aspects Noise from Tunnel Boring Sound and vibration from the tunnel boring machine will be perceptible inside properties for a few days as it passes beneath them. The effects of ground borne sound and vibration from the machine on building occupiers will be short term and is not considered to be significant. P6 (18) HOC/10001/0019

20 Minimum Safety Requirements For tunnels under 1km in length Place of Relative Safety To adjacent independent tunnel tube every 500m Fire Fighting Point defined as Location inside or outside tunnel where fire fighting equipment can be used and passengers can evacuate Water supply capacity is a minimum of 800 1/min for 2 hours P6 (19) HOC/10001/0020

21 Tunnel Cross Passage P6 (20) HOC/10001/0021

22 Evacuation Walkway & Tunnel Cross Passage Opening HS1 P6 (21) HOC/10001/0022

23 Vibration Mitigation via booted sleeper track P6 (22) HOC/10001/0023

24 Costs of Tunnelling Fixed Costs Linear Costs Incremental Cost increases Tunnel Boring Machine typically 15m to 25m Back up material handling similar cost order Power supply Mechanical and Electrical systems Labour Lining materials Excavated material disposal Ground monitoring Ground treatment Tunnel logistics Surface arrangements for drive sites, reception sites, tunnel logistics Introduction of shafts Increase in number of cross passages Introduction of shafts and increase in tunnel Mechanical and Electrical systems. Operational Aspects of Tunnelling Construction Cost Implications P6 (23) HOC/10001/0024
