Since its early beginnings in 1806, this type of tunnelling has become one of the most important techniques. While Japan's current pioneering role cannot be denied, the state of development in Europe has reached a high level of international recognition. This book explains the history of this construction method, outlining basic information and presenting the various types of shields and linings with the corresponding equipment and range of applications. It examines various projects, including not only such large ones as the Channel or the Belt tunnel, but also small, equally interesting projects such as underground railways. The problems involved as well the technology used to confront them are fully described, and the text is structured in such a way that readers are led from the basics of this construction method, via the essential functional elements of the shield machines and on to the different types of shields. The universality of the book is guaranteed by the three expert authors, a researcher, machine manufacturer and contractor respectively. Invaluable for current and future tunnelling projects and a must for all those working in the field.

This volume includes the papers presented at the North American Tunneling 2002 Conference. The papers deal with three major aspects of underground construction: managing construction projects; public policy and underground facilities; and advances in technology.

Der maschinelle Schildvortrieb hat sich seit den ersten Anfängen im Jahre 1806 zu einer der bedeutendsten Technologien des Tunnelbaus entwickelt. Obwohl die derzeitige Vorreiterrolle der Japaner nicht verkennbar ist, hat auch der Entwicklungsstand in Deutschland und Europa wieder ein international beachtetes Niveau erreicht. Das vorliegende Werk dokumentiert die Entwicklungsgeschichte des Bauverfahrens, vermittelt die Grundlagen, stellt die unterschiedlichen Schildtypen sowie Auskleidungen mit zugehörigen Ausrüstungen und Einsatzbereichen vor und gibt Einblick in Vertragswerke, welche eine Risikobeschränkung zwischen Auftraggeber, Auftragnehmer und Maschinenhersteller beinhalten.
