Tyne tunnel -- 1, 2
Pt 1. Part of road system at Newcastle, Great Britain, constructed between 1961 and 1967, comprises tunnel over mile long between portals and providing 24 ft wide roadway, entrance works in urban areas bordering river, and approach roads with dual 24 ft wide roadways extending 3 mi southward and 1 1/2 mi northward from entrance works; paper outlines nature and geology of site and planning and development of works, deals with design of road tunnel and its immediate approaches and their equipment and services, and gives account of arrangement and construction of approach roads. Pt 2. Cast-iron lined tunnel of 31 ft 3 in. internal diam, approximately 5400 ft in length, was constructed in glacial deposits and coal measure rocks using hand driving and shield driving methods; work necessitated construction of pilot tunnels and utilization of various ground injection processes; tunneling operations were carried out in water-bearing sands and gravels and in close proximity to river silts and required extensive use of compressed air in working chambers; work included construction of reinforced concrete shield erection pits.
