Types of Civil Engineering Techniques for Construction Projects

Advanced Civil Engineering

Introduction
This presentation will depict different types of civil engineering
techniques in various areas of applications. The project is based
on construction of a new tunnel and other associated civil
structures for decreasing the traffic issues and congestion at
Blackwall Tunnel and other river crossings which currently
exists.

Task 1
 There are three types of
tunnelling methods:
 Bored tunnelling
 Cut and cover
 Drill and Blast

Continued...
 The proposed project for Balfour Beatty can be efficiently
accomplished without much disturbances to the local people and
the problem of overcrowding in the Blackwall Tunnel shall also be
reduced to some extent with the developed design.
 For the proposed project, the tunnelling method selected is drill and
blast.
 The environmental impacts which are experienced when other
techniques are implemented are significantly reduced.
 There is less noise and dust generated.
