Tunnel boring machines (TBM) are used to excavate tunnels with a circular cross section through a variety of geologies. They can be used to bore through hard rock or sand or almost anything in between. Tunnel diameters can range from a metre (done with micro-TBMs) to more than 14 metres. The biggest one was built for the New Elbe Tunnel in Hamburg.The partnership firm of Saturn X VOF, which specialises in design, engineering and construction underground, has been awarded the contract for the bored tunnel section of the line. Herrenknecht AG, which specialises in the design and manufacture of tunnelling machines, has been awarded the contract for drilling and lining the tunnels. Combinatie Strukton Betonbouw/Van Oord ACZ will construct the Central subway station and the connection between the Amsterdam main Central Station and the new subway station. |
