Abstract: Dubai’s Deep Tunnel Storm Water System (DTSWS) project is intended to collect subsurface and storm water from about 500km2 of newly urbanising communities of Dubai, and to transfer the captured flow to the sea. Four large circular shafts are designed with each shaft having a connecting chamber which collects the subsurface flow. The main shafts are typically 20-25m in diameter and 45-50m deep...

For majority of the year, the...
Abstract: Dubai’s Deep Tunnel Storm Water System (DTSWS) project is intended to collect subsurface and storm water from about 500km2 of newly urbanising communities of Dubai, and to transfer the captured flow to the sea. The tunnel is a segmental lining tunnel excavated by TBM. The tunnel presents an internal diameter of 10m and 350mm of segment thickness and the use of steel fibres reinforced concrete...
