Abstract: Small diameter tunnels are constructed for a large variety of applications. As safety aspects in mechanized tunnelling have gained more and more importance during the recent years, unmanned procedures like pipe jacking have taken over in the smaller diameters. It is nowadays a complementary tunnelling method in the diameter range of up to four meters, formerly covered by segmental lining TBMs....
Abstract: With a growing world population and increasing urbanization, volumes of sewage are rising especially in large cities, which require larger capacities in sewage transport and treatment. The systems built decades ago need to be modernized, extended or replaced to ensure efficient and sustainable wastewater management.The first large-scale Deep Tunnel Sewerage System (DTSS) was installed in 2008...

Abstract: The development of renewable energies and the construction of a sustainable power grid are the challenges for future energy supply. Due to the public environmental awareness, smart installation methods are required for fast and safe construction with minimal impact on surroundings. There are three major application fields for trenchless technologies in transmission grid construction: the...
Abstract: Sinking shafts below the ground water level can be a difficult process especially in unstable heterogeneous soils where the conventional methods in this field sometimes have to be supported by additional measures like soil stabilization. This article describes the features and benefits of the vertical shaft sinking machines and describes the...
