Progress Report > Package IB - South Tunnel Section
During the reporting period 150.5m of Evacuation Tunnel and 162.8m of Main Tunnel Top Heading was excavated, giving a total length of 1507.5m of Evacuation Tunnel and 1396.5m of Main Tunnel Top Heading excavated to date. Bench excavation continued with 320.42m being excavated on the West Side and 200.82m excavated on the East Side. Tunnel lining commenced with 48m of tunnel completed. Excavation is advancing well and compared to the original schedule shows the Main Tunnel being four weeks behind programme and the Evacuation Tunnel ten weeks. At current rates excavation should be back on programme by early 2003. Tunnel Lining commenced late, but three pours were completed within a one week period, proving the contractor can hit the required progress rate. A
fatal accident occurred on the 31st October 2002 whilst
permanent steel ribs were being erected for the tunnel lining.
