Abstract: The Port Said twin tube road tunnels are crossing the Suez Canal, Egypt, with length of bored stretch of 2,85 km. The tunnels were constructed in adverse soft soil conditions including groundwater with high salt concentration and the presence of dissolved methane gas.

Abstract: The Port Said Road Tunnels Project provides a vital transport crossing of the Suez Canal, as part of the Suez Canal Development Mega-project in the North Sinai. The twin-tube, 2.8km long tunnels are excavated by two, mix-Shield TBM’s with a bored diameter of 13.05m and at depths up to 57m below ground level. Each tunnel tube affords a dual-carriageway road, an emergency evacuation-way below the...
