TBM LAUNCHING & TEMPORARY WORKS

TBM LAUNCHING & TEMPORARY WORKS

Temporary works are an integral part of underground projects. They don’t carry a permanent load, but simply help build a facility. However, they involve a significant cost. Designing temporary works necessitates an understanding of the interfaces between temporary and permanent structures. Bouw uses circular sections to reduce the cost of temporary works by 15 percent and provide more working space with longer spans.
