URBAN EPB TUNNELING IN LIMITED SPACE: A CASE STUDY OF THE SAN FRANCISCO CENTRAL SUBWAY PROJECT (2014)

The San Francisco Central Subway project is a challenging modern example of urban tunneling in limited space conditions. This paper discusses the project challenges and solutions at the Central Subway project, with a focus on TBM and continuous conveyor logistics. Requirements of the project include explosion-proof electrical components, laser-guided survey, rubber-tired supply vehicles, and machine and back-up solutions for steep inclines and tight curves.
