TUBULAR THRUST JACKING FOR UNDERGROUND ROOF CONSTRUCTION ON THE ANTWERP METRO PART 2

The article, the second of a two-part series, discusses a method of constructing roof slabs for metro stations that minimizes interference with traffic above. It examines the problems of jacking under foundations, reduction of subsidence and water proofing of the tubes. In addition, applications of the technique to metro station construction in Antwerp are discussed.
