The challenge … for the Society At the beginning of the 21st century, societies all over the world are confronted with the multiple challenges connected to the globalization of trading and human relations in general, which create a growing need for fast operating, efficient, economic and safe infrastructure systems. The key is balancing increased demands for sustainable development with the pressure to expand and improve infrastructure networks. Today underground construction is a key element in international, regional and local infrastructure networks, allowing economic development and exchange as well as a recovery and revaluation of surface space previously occupied by infrastructure installations.
… for Tunnel owners Finding sufficient funding for a tunnel project in order to install and maintain an efficiently operating infrastructure link or water conveyance facility is a key issue for tunnel owners. At the same time the tunnel owners are responsible for the safety standard of their installations and have to comply with environmental regulations. The owners have to find a balance between these vital project issues and economic restraints. In this context, risk identification, analysis and management as well as the contracting concepts become even more important tools leading towards a safe, balanced and economically optimized solution.
… for Contractors Contractors face increased responsibility and risk as new contract types are introduced. Design & Build contracts, long-term maintenance obligations, design optimizations to reduce costs while maintaining quality and safety are all challenges that affect the way the underground construction sector contractors operate today.
… for Concessionaires More and more underground projects are developed using a public-private partnership (PPP) concession. In PPP projects such as Design-Build-FinanceMaintain (DBFM) and Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT), risk management and inventive solutions are expected to secure profit margins while stimulating sustainable developments.
… for Regulatory and Local authorities and Emergency Service organisations Large underground construction is not a daily practice for regulatory and local authorities. But when confronted with the development of underground infrastructure in their region, the authorities need to have a clear vision on the required safety aspects of their system installations and must be able to check and evaluate the design during the approval phase.

Risk management Management of geotechnical risks during underground construction mainly consists in optimization of project requirements in order to reach the highest possible standard in quality, safety and economic efficiency. Risk management has become a significant component of our service offerings. In project design and construction, engineering risk is a key economic factor and can be defined as a combination of occurrence probabilities for undesirable effects during construction and the tangible consequences of such events. Engineering risk management steps consist of: - risk identification - definition of the acceptable risk levels - existing risks quantification - design and implementation of a program for existing risks reduction - monitoring effectiveness of program implemented - possible corrections of the program implemented with the aim of further risk reduction
Geotechnics and foundations techniques ARCADIS’ worldwide presence brings extensive geotechnical know-how, the foundation for every underground construction project. Expertise in soil and rock mechanics, in foundation and support techniques, in ground improvement as well as in monitoring and instrumentation are very important for cost-effective solutions especially under difficult conditions and project constraints.
Geotechnical investigations and surveys ARCADIS provides a wide range of geotechnical investigation and monitoring services. Geotechnical investigations and surveys are of vital importance for a safe design and construction of underground structures. Field investigations including cored drillings and laboratory testing allow to properly define the ground conditions that will be encountered and evaluate the geological risks inherent in the construction. The results of these investigations become part of the contractual documents in the framework of the Geotechnical Data and Baseline Reports, prepared by ARCADIS. During the construction, ARCADIS’ mission continues with the monitoring of the structure itself and neighbouring and surface structures, especially all types of buildings, as well as the analysis and evaluation of the results.

Statement of Qualifications – Underground Construction | What we deliver
Conventionally excavated tunnels The conventional tunnelling method comprises of excavation techniques using drill and blast or mechanical excavation in combination with a preliminary support consisting of rock bolts, shotcrete and steel arches and a final concrete lining. In this environment, where the ground behaviour plays a decisive role and unknown and variable geological conditions exist, ARCADIS delivers the best expertise to their clients. This includes the choice of methods, excavation, support and lining design and ground stabilization measures that are based on detailed geotechnical risk analyses during design and construction.
Mrázovka Tunnel, Prague, Czech Republic THE CHALLENGE: Diverting traffic from residential areas. Building an inner city double tube road tunnel with a 160 m² cross section per tube in very difficult geological conditions underneath a residential area, with numerous buildings sensitive to settlement and with minimum distance between the tunnel crown and the foundation level. THE APPROACH: Identifying and evaluating the risks for each surface structure and applying a sound risk management. Defining protective measures from an exploration gallery and adapting the excavation methods. Close monitoring of the tunnel and the surface structures and constant verification of the assumptions. THE RESULT: Maximum safety for the adjacent owners and inhabitants and the tunnel workers. Minimal inconvenience, noise and vibration during construction and largely reduced traffic after the completion. All this reached with a perfect balance between safety considerations and economical optimization.

Cut and Cover tunnels ARCADIS offers significant experience in the conception and realisation of cut and cover of tunnels in all geological and hydrogeological conditions. Depending on the project constraints and geological conditions a cut and cover tunnel, consisting of an open cut section which is later covered with a concrete slab, is an economic and safe solution for underground infrastructure projects. Responding to highly variable project constraints, we have developed extensive expertise in applying different support techniques for the open cut section, from very light to heavy support, and from typical to most innovating.
Immersed tube tunnels ARCADIS specialists have unique experience with immersed tube tunnels due to the involvement in projects in the Netherlands, where a large number of immersed tube tunnel project concepts have been developed and realized. Whenever there is a need to cross water, an immersed tunnel should be considered. Such a tunnel is constructed from tunnel elements that are individually built on a dock, and then immersed in a controlled way within a dredged trench. Almost any cross section can be accommodated, making immersed tunnels particularly attractive for wide highways and combined road/rail tunnels. An immersed tunnel can be placed immediately beneath a waterway. This allows the tunnel approaches to be shorter and/or approach gradients to be flatter, an advantage for all tunnels, but especially so for railways.
Piet Hein Tunnel Amsterdam, The Netherlands THE CHALLENGE: Creating the infrastructure for new city developments in Amsterdam. Finding a way to do that in densely built up areas with numerous important shipping channels, the arteries of Amsterdam’s economic life. Make it safe. THE APPROACH: Use of the immersed-tube technology well proven in Dutch soil conditions. Precast tunnel segments which include the road tubes and a service/emergency tube, which guarantees passenger safety in case of a calamity. Precast the tunnel segments in a dock which has sufficient dimensions. THE RESULT: Shipping in the tunnel segments from an existing dock in Antwerp, Belgium via the North Sea. Building a safe and modern tunnel without unnecessarily disrupting ship traffic. Open up new development opportunities for the city of Amsterdam.

Copper Mine Mill Cavern, Chile THE CHALLENGE: To maintain production of Codelco’s Andina copper mine under all weather conditions at the place where you find the ore: at 3.800 m above sea level in a narrow valley in the Central Andes mountains of Chile. THE APPROACH: A sound geological assessment and risk analysis, an innovative approach and a dash of audacity in the geotechnical design of large enough caverns to accommodate the huge semiautogenous mills and the concentrator plant. An underground facility that could operate independently of weather conditions is the only real possibility to have a year round operating mill and concentrator plant. THE RESULT: Amazingly large caverns, built inside the massive Andes mountains that provide safe housing for the SAG mill* and concentrator facilities, allowing their continuous year round operation - and a perfect stage for a concert held at the inaugural ceremony before the plant installation. * Semi-Autogenous Grinding Mill
Underground Spaces / Caverns Space is a precious good in the town centres of large agglomerations. Consequently, the third dimension offered by means of underground construction is a solution under these circumstances. The conception of subway stations, car parks or even public spaces as underground shopping facilities, libraries and theatres have multiple challenges. Large caverns also benefit projects in many other areas where surface construction is not favourable for different reasons. ARCADIS has applied the knowhow in this area as one of the major contributors for the conception of the Channel Tunnel “cross-overs” on the French side and for the design of large underground spaces for the mining industry in Chile.

Mechanical and Electrical installations Safety is one of the most important issues that must be addressed when using underground space for infrastructure projects. ARCADIS is aware of this and has extensive knowledge of tunnel safety concepts, and necessary mechanical and electrical installations for ventilation and lighting to meet the strict standards and codes, using the most advanced technological developments.
Schiphol tunnel, Amsterdam airport, The Netherlands THE CHALLENGE: Congestion of Highway 4 crossing Schiphol airport called to increase the capacity for crossing under the runway. New tunnels, one exclusively for bus and slow traffic, were planned. Moreover the existing Schiphol tunnel does not comply anymore with the latest safety and signalling standards. THE APPROACH: Safety risk scenarios were evaluated for the new and existing tunnels, leading to a safety system requirement program for the design. The installations included an MTM* road signalling system, dynamic route information system, CCTV** observation system, speed detection system, matrix signallers, lighting, drainage pumps, fire extinguishing systems and ventilation, designed by ARCADIS, who also prepared the tender documents and was responsible for supervision of installation and project management for both tunnels. THE RESULT: Congestion on Highway 4 is a thing of the past. Traffic can pass the runway of Schiphol airport through tunnels with sufficient capacity and stateof-the-art safety systems. * Motorway Traffic Management

Tunnel for LGV Lyon – Turin through the Alps THE CHALLENGE: A truck pulls its weight up from the deep valley on the winding road. The start of a long and difficult run. Over the snowy peaks of the Alps. A hard battle to win. On the other side, the sun awaits. Reachable. Quicker and safer would be nice. THE APPROACH: A tunnel through the Alps. Travellers rushing to their destinations in high-speed trains. Freight moved by trains and trucks through rather than over the Alps. Safe? We’re working on it. Studying the safety requirements in and around the tunnels to determine their ability to reduce the effects of calamities. Advising what additional measures are needed to guarantee safety. In the meantime producing the technical design of the trajectory. THE RESULT: A vital and safe link in the European rail network. Two multipleuse rail tunnels on the track between Lyon in France and Turin in Italy. The first trains will use the tunnel in 2015. Faster and safer.
Safety We work daily on projects involving hazardous materials so safety is a leading concern. As a company, we also consult to public and private sector clients on social safety, dealing with crime and terrorism, fire prevention in buildings and even coastal defence issues. For our infrastructure projects, safety is a main issue too. Not only during supervision of the construction work, while implementing safety norms and standards, but also during preliminary study phases of the design. ARCADIS performs extensive risk and safety analysis for tunnels. We study the possible effects of an accident or human-related events inside the tunnel to determine the required safety measures inside and around the tunnels to mitigate the effects of such events. These studies include fire safety and evacuation analysis.

Testing and commissioning At the final stage of each tunnel project, whether new or renovated, or newly implemented subsystem project, all systems must be tested and commissioned to guarantee safe operation. ARCADIS has a large team of specialists using high-tech equipment and advanced software, which are highly trained for these activities.
Public-Private Partnerships All around the world public tunnel owners and operators, due to tight public funding, look for private-sector funding to meet their investment goals. On the other hand investors have an increasing interest to invest in assets that deliver a long-term guaranteed return. ARCADIS can identify and scope the possibilities for PPP’s, assess the value of assets and structure the outsourcing of operations to private parties. In addition, the company can play a role in the formation of PPP and BOT projects, bringing engineering expertise within Consortiums, and even take the lead in new project developments.
Busan-Geoje Fixed Link, South Korea THE CHALLENGE: Linking Busan with the island Geoje with project constraints that are particularly demanding: weak soil, seismic risk with the possibility of tsunamis and extreme weather related conditions caused by typhoons. The project comprise of two cable-stayed bridges and an immersed tunnel. Once completed, the immersed tunnel at 50 m below the sea level will be the deepest immersed tunnel in the world. THE APPROACH: Checking all engineering design and calculations of the construction JV to ensure quality, functionality, durability and safety of the works. This is the first time that an independent design team has been appointed in South Korea. THE RESULT: A greatly improved design which is safe and durable to withstand the forces of nature for decades to come.

Pannerdensch Kanaal Railway Tunnel, The Netherlands THE CHALLENGE: A cargo-line from Rotterdam Port to the German hinterland markets, the Betuweroute, crosses the Pannerdensch Kanaal in an area of high natural value which must be protected. The alternative: build the crossing as a tunnel. The constraints for the tunnel design: river influence, poor ground conditions and crossing a 30 m deep former sandpit. THE APPROACH: Design a tunnel using the materials available taking into account all environmental aspects. Especially strong segments were developed to make a single pass lining possible in weak clay deposits. To enable TBM passage the deep former sand pit was refilled, partially using excavated material of the shield tunnel itself. THE RESULT: A safe tunnel, which was built with minimum hindrance to the public and the environment and which resulted in an increased natural value of the area. The former sand pit was made into a naturally valuable wetland.
Simulation and software tools ARCADIS uses and has developed several simulation and software tools using decennia of experience. Some examples: “Plaxis” is a finite element program intended for 2D and 3D analysis of deformation, stability and groundwater flow in geotechnical engineering and underground structures. “Cesar” is a finite element program complementary to “Plaxis” and widely used for 2D and 3D deformation and stability analysis in geotechnical engineering and underground structures. “GeoSlope 2004” is a suite of applications for geotechnical and geoenvironmental modelling. This software is used for slope stability analysis, seepage analysis, stress and deformation analysis, dynamic earthquake analysis, contaminant transport analysis and geothermal analysis. “Solvent” is a Computational Fluid Dynamics tool for simulation of smoke and heat development in case of fire in tunnels and the design of the ventilation concept. “Xandra” is a simulation tool that focuses on the operation of a railway network and the interaction of the power supply system. It can for example verify the air conditioning requirements of subway tunnels and deep underground stations.
