- Increased safety for workers involved in tunnel construction
Original Abstract Submitted
a processing train configured to run along a tunnel to lay a solidifiable fluid material on a wall of the tunnel and allow the solidifiable fluid material to solidify for construction of a lining of the tunnel, an advancement system for advancing the sliding form, a closing edge for closing a space between a front edge of the sliding form and the wall of the tunnel, and spouts for dispensing the solidifiable fluid material around a front segment of the sliding form. a method for constructing a lining of a tunnel with the solidifiable fluid material involves, defining an interspace between the front segment of the sliding form and the wall of the tunnel, introducing the solidifiable fluid material into the interspace and, after hardening time, advancing the sliding form to form a new interspace and successive lining sections.
