Purpose Simulation Template for Utility Tunnel Construction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Utility construction projects have great opportunities for simulation applications in construction. This paper describes the special purpose tunneling simulation template developed based on the tunneling operations performed at the City of Edmonton Public Works Department for shielded tunnel boring machines. The tunneling operations are described, then the tunnel template and its components are illustrated. The results generated from the template using the historical data to test the template and to analyze the potential construction processes are presented. Future embellishments to the tunneling template are briefly described.
