TUNNELS - THE EQUIPMENT OF THE SHAFT AND MARSHALLING CHAMBERS

This paper is concerned with the equipment installed in the access shaft and marshalling chambers of the French section of the Channel Tunnel. As the shaft was the only means of access to the working faces of the tunnels, its equipment was of great importance. This paper reviews the general design of equipment of the shaft and marshalling chambers and distinguishes the works carried out on the surface from those down below. The equipment required for the complex organization of train traffic in the marshalling chambers is dealt with in detail. For the covering abstract see IRRD 866394.
