CUT AND COVER TRENCHES USING THE PANOSOL PROCESS

TRANCHEES COUVERTES EN PAROIS PREFABRIQUEES

A description of the different phases of construction of a covered trench using precast or cast in-situ diaphragm walls is presented. The resulting advantages of a precast wall over a cast in-situ wall during the execution and long term stages are discussed. Certain special problems related to the Panosol process are considered: the shape of the joints, their watertightness, and the placing of panels with cut-off levels well below the working platform.
