Channel Tunnel Rail Link section 2: Thames tunnel

Martin Burgess, Hadyn Davies · Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Civil Engineering · 2007

Tunnelling under the Thames estuary was considered to be the greatest risk to section 2 of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link project – now known as High Speed I. However, it was delivered safely and ahead of programme by the application of risk management and sound engineering by the tunnel-boring machine manufacturer and contractors. This paper describes the award-winning design and construction of the 3.6 km long, twin-bore crossing.
