Anagostou, K Kovar: “Face Stabilty Ir Slury and EPS Shield Tunneling’; Tunne's & Tunneling; December ‘986. ~The safety factor adopted for face stably analysis is 1.2 and face stability analysis using the ‘above approach and ccnservalively considering lll rock in the face indicates that no face pressure is required fr face stabil t this location ~ For information, the 52 KPa indicated as calculated face pressure in the face pressure tables, isin {oct related to notional ccmpensating of ay occurring Groundwater seepage pressure. Recommendations: — Gonsiering the fact thatthe current face is ently in good rock and thatthe TBM was actualy launched through a rock face which was standing in free air for several months before ‘commencement of tunneling the intervention can be cari out in fre air — However, compressed a equipmant and respective personnel shal be kept on standby, ~ During the actual intervention process, ground surface setlement shall be measured at very close intervals according to the scheme, wich was shown an the monitoring drawing for unplanned cutter head intervention, Monitoring frequency shall be one reading every 4 hours = At the beginning ofthe intervention the face shall be thoroughly inspected for potential face instablty and water ingress. = If areno signs of face instability, additonal round settlements are less than 10mm and the water Ingress is less than 100 tremin andthe readings from groundwater stand pipe GWS2004 do not inicate significant change, the intention can be continued in free ac. fring the intervention unstable pockets are identified inthe face or the water ingress is larger ‘than 100 lire/min, 100 kPa compressod air pressure shall be applied. If the air supply required for keeping thi pressure ie exceeding 20 m® per hour (mostly likely due to leaking trough the launching sea), the intervention shall be abandoned, SaigeGeoconsut Asia Singapore Pe ~ Moritoring control values for the cutter head intervention points (LG) shall be as follows: ‘Work Suspension Level (WS) ~ 29mm ‘© Alert Level (AL) ~ 18mm — Moritring control values forthe groundwater stand pipe GWS2004 shall be a¢ flows: + Aert Level (AL) ~2m drop = Exceeding the sbove alert levels (AL), shal trigger reconsideration of the above recommendations. ‘Although we are confident thatthe above is justified and adequate, itis subjec to approval by QP(S) and LTA In case you require adciticnal clarification or explanation, please do not hesiate to contact the undersigned.
