SUBMERGED TUNNELS
The invention concerns to an innovative method for the construction of submerged tunnels, in which the tunnel is built out of the water and subsequently immersed and progressively placed in the trench prepared on the seabed without having to join segments of the external structure of the tunnel under the water level. This is in order to make their realization simpler and more efficient. The method allows the progressive laying of the tunnel, on a trench prepared for the purpose, exploiting the differential of the hydrostatic and gravitational forces that act in said laying phase on the tunnel itself and controlling it, also through the positioning of weights along it, to keep the stresses of the materials within the desired limits.
