PREPARATIONS FOR A SUBWAY

CONSTRUCTION :
Use the NATM method (New Australian Tunneling Method)
Prepare the necessary machines and equipment such as the TBM
(Tunnel-boring Machine)
Use city streets as guidelines for where to dig.
Provide a series of shafts that acts as emergency exits and all have
entrances that people can reach from the street level.
Reroute existing pipes and cables before construction.
Use pumps or dig dewatering falls to remove the water.
Use the cut and cover method and waterproofing method.

SOME CHALLENGES WHILE FIXING

THE LOCATION OF THE STATION:
Adequate width of road (in case of station
being in the middle of road)
Availability of land for locating entry exit
structures
Parking and Dispersal facilities
Fire water tank
Ventilation shafts
Minimal property acquisition
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
Buildings nearby,
No. Of trees affected,
Possible traffic diversion,
Soil strata,
Utilities,
Access to the residents
nearby
Suitability
Construction Consideration Metro
Station Design Rpiciples PDF
Inter station distance to be about 1-km
Stations are not located on gradients, and are
always to be on horizontal alignment
Alignment should be straight to the extent possible,
in case the station must be located on curves due
to other pressing demands, the curve should not
be sharper than 1000-m radius
