PARTICULAR TUNNELLING SPECIFICATION - INTRODUCTION<br />

So far as the <strong>Specification</strong> for <strong>Tunnelling</strong> may conflict, or be inconsistent, the<br />

specifications shall prevail in the following order of precedence:<br />

• <strong>Particular</strong> <strong>Tunnelling</strong> <strong>Specification</strong><br />

• <strong>Specification</strong> for <strong>Tunnelling</strong> (BTS/ICE 2000)<br />

• <strong>Particular</strong> Civil <strong>Specification</strong><br />

• CESWI<br />

Clause numbers for 'tunnelling' specifications are prefixed with a 'PT', i.e.<br />

PT112.1.4 etc. For consistency, the 'PT' prefix shall be deemed to apply also to<br />

all sections and clauses in the <strong>Specification</strong> for <strong>Tunnelling</strong>.<br />

Clauses for the main tunnel 7200mm diameter are prefixed PT2XX, the 3.05 ID<br />

Abbey Mills Connector Tunnel “TBM and <strong>Tunnelling</strong>” PT3XX, for the precast<br />

concrete segmental tunnel linings PT4XX, for the EPDM gaskets to the precast<br />

concrete segmental tunnel linings PT5XX and for the segmental shaft linnings<br />

PT6XX.<br />

This <strong>Specification</strong> for <strong>Tunnelling</strong> covers all <strong>Tunnelling</strong> Works and Segmentally<br />

lined Shafts within the scope of Works for this Project .<br />

PT100.5 Diaphragm Walls are specified in the <strong>Particular</strong> Civil <strong>Specification</strong>:-PC 3.15.<br />

PT100.6<br />

PT100.7<br />

The Contractor shall refer to the <strong>Particular</strong> Civil <strong>Specification</strong> for the requirements<br />

for all structures not specifically referenced in this specification.<br />

The Lee Tunnel is a long tunnel drive predominantly in flint laden chalk at high<br />

water pressures as described in the Geotechnical Baseline Report. The tunnel<br />

route prevents any direct access to the TBM from the surface. For this reason TW<br />

considers that the design, performance & operation of the TBM is one of the<br />

major risk mitigations on the Lee Tunnel.<br />

This specification should be considered as a MINIMUM requirement.<br />
