伦敦(2012奥林匹克城)排水隧道工程

Tunnelling Projects in London:Olympic City 2012

北京7.21特大灾害与城市排水系统有关,而且近些年国内城市内涝增多。鉴于此,本刊特邀国际隧道协会前主席MartinC.Knights先生介绍了英国伦敦的地下排水系统的建设情况,包括伦敦维多利亚时期建设的排水系统、正在建设以及将要建设的排水系统,以期为我国的城市建设提供参考。同时,Martin C.Knights表示业主泰晤士水务公司(Thameswater)在全球寻求感兴趣的承包商,对在施工与伦敦Tideway隧道工程类似的复杂软弱地层条件下的重大城市隧道工程有经验的亚洲承包商/供应商,很有兴趣并期望与他们合作。

The heavy rain on July 21,2012 has led to great damage to Beijing. The major cause for the disaster might be the water drainage system. Flood often occurs in cities in China in resent years. Martin C. Knights,former president of International Tunneling Association,is asked to give a presentation on underground drainage systems in London,including drainage systems constructed in Victorian period,drainage systems under construction and drainage systems to be constructed,so as to provide reference for city construction in China. Meanwhile,Martin C. Knights said that the owner,Thameswater,is seeking international interest from Contractors,and is interested to learn about Contractor / Supplier from Asian counties who have experience in major urban tunnel projects in complex soft ground conditions,where the construction challenges have been similar to those in London Tideway Tunnel Project.
