Design features of the Botlek Rail Tunnel in the Betuweroute

Maidl, U.

In this paper, the westernmost of the three bored tunnels in the Betuweroute is outlined: the twin bored Botlek Rail Tunnel. This paper deals with the specific local boundaries and the characteristic design features. Special emphasis is placed on the design of the shield tunnel boring machine. This evolved from a special proposal from the bidding contractors group BTC - combination of Ballast Nedam, HBW, Strukton, Van Hattum en Blankevoort and Wayss & Freytag - which included an Earth pressure balanced shield (EPB-shield) instead of the slurry balanced shield that was foreseen in the reference design of the Client NS-RIB (Dutch Railways).
