Lining with security and efficiency

Portal to point of use
11 February, 2011
There is no operation in tunnelling where timing is as important as it is in concrete delivery, whether the material is for permanent cast in situ lining, sprayed concrete lining or grouting. Thus the means of delivery must be reliable and available, compact enough to work within tunnel section availability (including mucking out operations), and convenient to use at the point of delivery where space is also likely to be at a premium. Maurice Jones examines the various means of tunnel concrete transport

Meeting shotcrete specifications
23 March, 2010
In the long history of shotcrete, or sprayed concrete, linings underground, never has so much been expected of them. In the transition in scope from hard rock primary support to soft ground permanent support, shotcrete is now expected to create structures under even more demanding conditions, but still at comparatively low cost. Here technical editor Maurice Jones reviews the state of some developments designed to meet such demands
