Overcoming tunnelling challenges on the Mumbai coastal road project in India
Completed in January 2022, the 2.1 km long 12.2 m diameter twin-bore Mumbai coastal road tunnel is country’s largest ever constructed using a tunnel boring machine. It is also India’s first undersea tunnel embracing all current international design and operational standards. This paper describes Mumbai’s unique hydrogeological conditions and its impact on the choice of tunnelling machine. It then discusses the logistics of transporting the huge machine through one of the worlds most congested cities; the decisions made in its assembly, lowering and re-launch; and how overall tunnelling challenges were overcome.
期刊介绍:
Civil Engineering, listed by the Web of Science, is the ICE''s flagship journal. Practical and diverse in its scope, it publishes overview papers for the non-specialist on any subject relevant to civil engineering today. Topics range from landmark projects to philosophical, ethical, environmental, management and safety issues.
Peer review, copyediting, and colour publication by Civil Engineering are free. If accepted, published papers are easily found by Google search, as well as in specialist citation indexes. There is also the option of making your article open access, should you wish to.
Published authors receive a free electronic copy of their article to share with their peers. Furthermore, as well exposure to ICE''s 91,000-strong membership, published papers are promoted via our social media channels, accessing the wider civil engineering community.
It is free to submit a paper to this journal. Papers appear Ahead of Print (below) as soon as they are ready to be published. Ahead of print articles are fully citable. using the DOI system
