7 – The shafts <strong>and</strong> the drifts7.3.4.1 Construction rampThis type <strong>of</strong> ramp can be imagined as a replaccment for the service shaft for the construction <strong>and</strong>operation <strong>of</strong> the B <strong>and</strong> C0 waste zones.In the example given, the ramp consists <strong>of</strong> 8 straight sections 340 m long sloped 15 %; they areinterconnected by half-circle sections sloped 10 % with a radius <strong>of</strong> 30 m. The ramp has a usablediameter <strong>of</strong> approximately 6 to 8 m. The straight sections are oriented (to within the indicated slope)according to the major horizontal constraint in order to ensure the best possible conditions for theramp’s future sealings.A small diameter ventilation shaft 120 facilitates the ventilation <strong>of</strong> <strong>and</strong> the removal <strong>of</strong> smoke from thestructure while under construction <strong>and</strong> in use. Laybys allow the vehicles to pass by.Figure 7.3.5Construction ramp120 For information, this shaft would be sealed during the closing <strong>of</strong> the <strong>repository</strong> in the same way as the other shafts.DOSSIER 2005 ARGILE -ARCHITECTURE AND MANAGEMENT OF A GEOLOGICAL DISPOSAL SYSTEM298/495
