Special Purpose Simulation Templates for Tunneling
Simulation modeling is an effective tool for repetitive construction projects. This paper describes the special purpose tunneling simulation templates developed based on the tunneling operations performed at the City of Edmonton Public Works Department for shielded tunnel boring machines and man powered hand tunneling. The tunnel boring machine template is equipped with a planning and cost estimating engine that transfers the simulation results into a project plan that includes a schedule, production, cost forecast, and resource utilization. The tunneling operations are briefly described, then the tunnel templates and its components are illustrated. The tunnel boring machine template has been applied to evaluate various alternatives compared to the conceptual estimates prepared for the proposed tunnel project to be constructed in Edmonton.
