Performance analysis of utility tunneling data: A case study of pipe jacking in hard rock in Brittany, France
Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology(2022)
Abstract
•First comprehensive analysis of pipe jacking data in very strong metamorphic rocks.•Case study of a 530 m long tunnel with a 2.2 m diameter Slurry TBM in France.•Focus of project was not maximum advance speed, but a safe tunneling procedure.•Average advance rate of 17.3 mm/min; specific skin friction well below 2 kN/m2.•Penetration prediction of pipe jacking projects is difficult with common models.
