EXTENSION OF METRO LINE 5 TO BOBIGNY: TECHNICAL FEATURES OF CIVIL ENGINEERING WORK
After a general description of the project, the authors describe the particularly difficult problems associated with constructing the tunnel under the Ourcq canal: the structure was installed in two half-sections so that navigation could continue along one side of the canal while the work proceeded. Details are then given of the Bobigny-Prefecture station complex: as it is situated in an already redeveloped, built-up area, the Berlin method was used for its construction and the work was completed relatively quickly, within 21 months.
