Project

Tunnel

An immersed tunnel will be constructed from a large number of similar elements which will be produced onshore, either in an excavated construction dock, in an existing facility such as a dry dock or in a factory-like facility

After completion, they will be towed to site to be immersed in a pre-dredged trench. After immersion, the trench will be backfilled.

The construction method of an immersed tunnel is characterised by a high degree of repetition and prefabrication. This will allow for an industrial construction method which will contribute to the quality of the works.

The structural works will be completed by a number of mechanical and electrical installations, traffic control and monitoring systems. Combined with the finishing of the tunnel, they will make the tunnel an intelligently operated, safe and reliable infrastructural asset.
