Abstract: The main part of the tunnel in the Follo Line Project is constructed by means of tunnel boring machines (TBMs). Available noise modelling and measurements from various TBM tunnelling projects show a large scatter of results depending on geological conditions, TBM design and actual TBM boring diameter. Not much reference data from TBM excavation with similar boundary conditions is available, and...
Abstract: This paper describes how tunnelling in urban areas poses challenges with respect to structural noise and risk of limited TBM operation time. The ongoing construction of the tunnel section of The Follo Line Project requires many considerations as the tunnel boring machines work their way through several densely populated areas with occasional limited overburden. The structural noise generated by...
