SEEPAGE CONTROL DURING TUNNEL DRIVING UNDER LAKE HURON. LARGE ROCK CAVERNS - PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM, HELSINKI, FINLAND, 25-28 AUGUST 1986. VOLUME 1

The objective of this paper is to provide a case history on rock tunnelling beneath Lake Huron, Ontario, Canada. The project under review consisted of the construction of an 8.7 m diameter cooling water intake tunnel for the Bruce B nuclear generating station owned and operated by Ontario Hydro. Continuous consolidation grouting of the tunnel was carried out to control water inflow during excavation. A summary of design parameters and construction procedures is given. For the covering abstract of the symposium see IRRD 810647. (Author/TRRL)
