GEOLOGIA ED IDROLOGIA DEL TERRITORIO INTERESATTO DALLA GALLERIA FERROVIARIA L. LUCIA DI KM 10,265 PER LA DIRETTISSIMA SALERNO-NAPOLI

A description is given of the conditions of construction of the St. Lucia tunnel between 1000 and 6063 m marks from the Salerno tunnel entrance. Technological systems adopted for the construction are described. Particular attention is given to a new type of preliminary revetment with prefabricated slabs put in place by a special prototype machine. The way that particular situations were dealt with (faults, caverns), statics of the revetment and impermeabilization are described in detail. The article is richly illustrated.
