Tunnels for Metros and<br />

Underground Stations<br />

Singapore Metro Circle Line, Stage 3, 4 & 5, C852 & C855 / Metro Delhi AMEL C1 & C6<br />

As a special<strong>is</strong>t for the design & construction of metro projects, we are active in countries all<br />

over the world. After successful completion of Singapore Metro Circle Line, C852 & C855 and<br />

Metro Delhi AMEL C1 & C6, we are currently working on the € 340 million project Downtown<br />

Line, Stage 2, C917 & C918 in Singapore, using Slurry TBMs and EPB TBMs for the bored<br />

twin tunnels.<br />

King’s Cross Station Redevelopment<br />

The purpose of th<strong>is</strong> metro project in Central London was the connection of ex<strong>is</strong>ting metrolines<br />

and St. Pancras Station (King’s Cross). A complex subterranean construction was<br />

necessary, i.e. pedestrian tunnels, stair and escalator shafts and vertical shafts. LaserShell™<br />

method in conjunction with the TunnelBeamer™ real-time surveying package was used as,<br />

tunnelling system for the London clay. We have also recently been awarded the € 280 million<br />

contract C510, Whitechapel and Liverpool Street Station Tunnels, as part of the Crossrail<br />

project.<br />

Metro Project ‘Stadtbahntunnel’ Karlsruhe<br />

The works for the inner city ‘Stadtbahntunnel’ Karlsruhe have already commenced and the<br />

tunnel driving will start in 2012. The 4.6-km project will include 3.9 km of tunnel and seven<br />

underground metro stations. A similar project in confined space was the inner city lot 306 of<br />

the metro Rhine-Ruhr-Bochum.<br />

C855: Slurry TBM meets the challenging geology<br />

of extremely fine and soft ground, weathered rock<br />

and exceptionally strong granite.<br />
