Innovation Trends in Underground Works: The Example of the Arnotegi Tunnel in Bilbao
One year on from the outbreak of the global COVID-19 pandemic, EU policies have defined recovery instruments that enhance the transition towards a more circular economy, making European industries more sustainable, resilient, digital and innovative. The underground work industry is no exception and must crystallise the trends in innovation that have been developing in recent years, which will undoubtedly contribute to achieving better safety and efficiency parameters in tunnel construction, with the economic impact that this means. This work shows different innovation strategies along the design and construction of the Arnotegi tunnel, as part of the extension works of the Bilbao South Metropolitan Bypass. These strategies have been the implementation of the BIM methodology in the underground works, the use of environmental sensors and the optimisation of the shotcrete placement and the positioning of machinery inside the tunnel. The implementation of these strategies has allowed improved collaboration between agents and a time saving of 6.60% with respect to the initially planned deadline.
