Tunnels & Tunnelling International
...the first choice for tunnelling professionals
First published in 1969, Tunnels & Tunnelling
International (T&TI) continues to hold the highest
reputation of any magazine in the global tunnelling
industry and is today a leading source of information
about the business you are in, that’s over 37 years of
continuous service to the industry!
Market leaders then…market
leaders now…and market
leaders into the future!
Through face to face contact with clients, project
development groups, consulting engineers,
contractors and equipment and material suppliers
T&TI is a comprehensive record of what’s new,
what’s in the planning stage, what’s ready to bid and
what’s in construction; keeping today’s tunnelling
professional informed and ahead. The subscribers to
this long established market-leading magazine are
civil engineering tunneling professionals, making our
readers your target audience.
Tunnels & Tunnelling International covers all aspects
of the underground construction sector and the
engineering companies involved. Specific
Front cover - Herrenknecht TBM, South Portal of the Guadarrama tunnels
applications of tunnelling/underground construction
include transport (road/rail/metro), water conveyance
(potable, wastewater, hydroelectric), utilities
(electricity/ telecoms/fuel), caverns (from scientific
research establishments to LPG storage caverns,
thermal energy storage, wine production, public
buildings, etc, etc). Editorial content covers
infrastructure planning, through to design,
ground/site investigation, construction
methodology/logistics/machinery &
equipment/technologies, rock mechanics,
groundwater engineering, ground stabilisation,
ventilation/operating systems, contractual/legal
issues, specifications and standards, fire
safety/terrorism, etc. etc.
Tunnels & Tunnelling International is also the official
magazine of the British Tunnelling Society, which
plays an active part in ensuring the publication
maintains its unique well-informed overview of the
whole industry. This is achieved through input from
an Editorial Advisory Board, a committee of
internationally respected tunnelling experts.

The value of a magazine to its
readers is always clear from the
number professionals prepared to
pay for it. Tunnels & Tunnelling
International has more than four
times the number of subscribers than
its nearest competitor. However, an
ongoing promotional programme
supplements Tunnels and Tunnelling
International’s subscription base
providing the optimum international
circulation. The result is a readership
that is both larger and more
accurately targetted than ever before.

The main tunnel drives were excavated
by two refurbished Robbins TBMs, each
210m long, worth A$50M, and weighing
hammers and rock saws were used to
excavate the four underground stations,
crossovers, cross-passages and
associated ancillary excavations. The two
TBM drives, including stations, were

typically 5.6m wide but as narrow as 3m at
from the project’s mid-point at the M2
service shaft on 21 September, and 4
November 2003 . They typically excavated
120 -180m per week, with rates on
occasion exceeding 8m per hour. Over half
of the 6.7km long westerly drives were in

the project (described in T&TI’s February

Epping on 27 and 29 July 2004. The cutting
heads were removed and lifted to the
surface, and the trailing gear was backed
down the tunnel to the M2 site and lifted to
surface by crane via the M2 shaft, and
turned around after maintenance. The TBM
cutting heads were refurbished, refitted and

Running tunnels
The running tunnels intersected the
sequence of Ashfield Shale, Mittagong
Formation and the upper Hawkesbury
Sandstone, typical to the Sydney Basin.
Design of the tunnel support system
considered the risks of potential variations
in geology in the development of the range
of tunnel support systems. One of the most
significant parameters providing an impact
on design was the pre-existing in situ
stress fields which influence tunnelling
conditions, and post excavation induced
ground movements. Rock mass and rock
defect properties, including shear strength,
cohesion and friction values, were
developed on the basis of geotechnical
information, data and testing. Published
information and geological experience in
the Sydney Basin environment were also
used to develop rational design
initial or temporary primary support, and
final support. An array of six 2.7m long,
310kN capacity, temporary full-resin-
encapsulated rock bolts generally
comprised the initial, or temporary support.
They were installed approximately 6m back
from the face directly behind the TBM
cutting head. About 55,000 bolts were
used in the TBM No. 1 excavation alone,
and a similar number in the TBM No. 2
excavation. Mesh was also installed where
required. When very poor ground
conditions were encountered, steel sets
were an option, but they were only used
where the excavation crossed the North
Ryde fault zone. A rock bolt/anchor and
shotcrete support design was developed
as an alternative to steel sets in all the other
areas where the original design envisioned
steel sets. This significantly speeded
construction in areas of poor geological

impending ground conditions. This
provided the TBM No. 2 management the
opportunity for safe support with no
surprises, and with associated efficiency.
Permanent lining and water control
For the running tunnels excavated by

200mm thick, with a design compressive
