- Planning: Horizontal and Vertical Alignment, Inner Cross Section, Auxiliary

Facilities - Construction
2. Planning and
Investigation

- Investigation: Ground Condition (Route, Topography, Geology, Hydrology, Planning

Geological Research during Construction), Location Condition (Environment,
Laws, Compensation)

- Investigation Results: Ground conditions, Location conditions

(Evaluation of Ground: Ground Classification, Class of Ground)

- Design Condition: Ground condition, Location condition, Shape and Dimension, Conditions considering
acting external loads

Feedback to Design and Construction

- Satisfy the Design Condition and Construction Condition? YES
- Selection of the Supports and Auxiliary Methods are
reasonable? - Ground is stable?

Confirm the Ground Displacement has converged (End of Excavation)

Other Works - Lining and Invert, Waterproofing and Drainage, Portal Zones and Portals
