ia SMEC 7 KTP teeter epee Joint Venture with ‘SITE INFORMATION NOTIFICATION (SIN) andin association wt) & Deron. # Petter. sna Right South Tunnel Excessive Temperature and Poor Work Condition inside TBM Description: During the site visit of BBA high officials on 24" May 2021 and on JV’s site surveillance on 26" May 2021, we observed the temperature inside the TBM, is still high. Although, you had introduced some mitigating measures like two (2) refrigerator in the TBM shield machine, these measures are insufficient to lessen the temperature. The ice you have brought quickly melted due to the ambient temperature and reading is still at the 38°C to 39°C range. You have not addressed concems in SIN 401 so we are reminding you once again to do something more drastic and a targeted approach to lessen the temperature and improve the working condition at the TBM machine.

Our site management has strengthened the fan maintenance to ensure the normal air circulation in the TBM, Small fans have been installed in the working area of segment assembling, slurry pipe connection, seyment transportation, ete, to ensure that it isin the working area of workers movement. The On-duty HSE supervisor in the tunnel act with spe three times a day and keep records. 3. We have purchased 30KW chiller unit equipment, after installation, it reduces the temperature of cooling circulating water, thereby reducing the temperature of related equipment of shield machine, at the same time to reduce the environmental temperature of shield construction. In addition, the contractor is currently adding a ‘group of heat ex-changers to the cold water circulation system of the shield machine to speed up the heat dissipation, Also for right tunnel excavation, we have arranged the cooling water eireulation pool in the Cut and Cover section to avoid direct sunlight pool, and! it reduce the outside circulation water temperature. Fig4 Chiller J. Our TBM team arrange ice cubes for the tunnel on heavy sunny summer days. Distribution of ice twice a absorbing the heat of the equipment operation, thereby it reduces the temperature in the tunnelig 5 Arrangement of ICE Cube Our tunnel team has regularly conducted training and emergency exercises on heatstroke failure / dehydration, alerting: operators to high temperature risks and telling employees how to identify and deal with heatstroke immediately +3 é ining and drill session with the TBM workers 6, The restroom is set up in the tunnel, and equipped with 2 air conditioners, drinking ice water, refrigerators, cic. During pre-work education, the workers have been instructed clearly to take a rest in the rest room during the work interval, At the same time, the tunnel provides glucose and emergency medicine and drinks to prevent heat stock Fig 7. Arrangement of Heatstroke preventive medicine, drinks and cool drinking water. At present the temperature of Tunnel and TBM is under control. The breakthro right runnel as well.
