68 Transportation Tunnel on Kanonersky Island under the Sea Channel, Leningrad, Russia

Technology of installation: Technology of installation: floating transportation Fabrication technology of 5 tunnel sections weighing 8,000 tonnes per each one, locking of sections, transportation through the Sea Channel, lowering and jointing. Reinforced concrete structure of the tunnel underwater section was divided lengthwise into large sections, which were properly constructed in a customized structure – dock lock. Section sizes were 75 x 13.3 x 8 m with a wall thickness of 93cm during design of Kanonersky Tunnel. The weight of each huge section was approx. 8,000 tonnes. The end of each section was equipped with a special rubber sealing along the perimeter and precisely covered with a steel watertight partition. Thus, each section was convert- ed into enclosed space, it obtained floatability and could be easily transported through the water in this condition. Section weight and its volume were analyzed so that section floatability was 180–200 tonnes. Total sections were equipped with shafts (pipes with a diameter of 1,220 mm) from above, providing access towards the interior.Entire five sections were combined into a raft assembly after fabrication of the abovemen- tioned, then locking process began, and the sections were relocated to the lock tank to the water level in the Sea Channel. Then, the sections were transported one-by-one via tow boats down the Sea Channel towards the tunnel axis, where an additional fairway of the depth of about 22 m was previously accomplished by hydraulic excavation vessels. Those sections obtained negative buoyancy by ballasting and then they were lowered to the bottom of new fairway by means of winches and pulleys plus installed on the vertical jacks. First section was attached to the end of previously constructed cast-in-situ section of the tunnel which was also equipped with an end steel partition (See above), it was tightly pressed end-to-end with a preliminary press- ing of rubber seal and then the water was pumped out from the space between the ends via special horizontal jacks, plus the first section was tightly pushed to the end of cast-in-situ section via hydrostatical pressure force. Total 5 sections were combined with each other in the same way. After installation of needed sections, works regarding washing away the gap under the bottom of sections, washing away the structure of a new fairway and the rest of civil works were fulfilled. The described method of tunnel construction is also called as an ‘open’ type, as may be inferred from the description unlike shield tun- neling method (or driving method).

Superstructure pushing operation was accomplished via six hydraulic jacks with load-carrying capacity of 100 tonnes per each one. Fluoroplastic pads were applied as antifriction devices. Our piers were equipped with sliding ways together with polished sheets serving as counterbod- ies. The recorded friction coefficient during sliding operation was 6 – 7% with a maximum weight of the deck being launched of approx 7,000 tonnes.

70 The Bridge across the Petrovsky Channel, St. Petersburg, Russia

Technology of installation: installation method: longitudinal launching When developing the construction master plan, the Institute specialists had to consider not only the structural features of the bridge, but also the capabilities of the contractor, available materials and equipment. The optimal solution for side span construction was the gradual assembly on the scaffolding and incremental launching of the assembled sections. For the central 240‑m span, it was decided to construct the section with the use of assembling equipment and watercraft, going from both sides simultaneously. During the construction of the bridge, several unique design solutions were implemented. For the four assembly sites, master plans were developed which foresaw incremental launching of bridge sections following a curved trajectory. The Institute engineers also made the necessary calculations for lifting 100‑m-long metal beams up to the 20‑m level and beyond.

Technology of installation: The unique process of radial launching was consistent with the shape of the dome structure itself. To expedite the assembly process, one block was launched from the left, another from the right. Builders were assembling prefabricated elements on the scaffolding, moved the heavy parts along the tracks and then finished the assembly in place. Despite all those difficulties and the tremendous diameter of the roof, tolerances were kept within the 25–30 mm range. Each part of the retractable section of the roof weighed 1,000 tons. There was an issue to resolve: how to lift 2,000 tons of metal up to the roof level. The Institute engineers suggested dividing the segments into six parts. In the end, 12 blocks weighing more than 160 tons each were designed. Those units were then lifted up to the 62-m level by two cranes with a lifting capacity of 600 and 750 tons. The operation, which greatly depended on weather conditions, took several hours. Then, the formidable elements were placed on special carts and moved with the help of powerful jacks. Eight inclined pylons presented yet another difficulty, since the an- gle between the pylon axis and the horizontal surface was approx- imately 60 degrees. Initially, construction workers were considering using a special anchoring pier about 90 meters tall. But since the concrete was being poured at the same time as the construction of the roof, it was impossible to assemble the pier. Eventually, it was decided that the lower part of the pylon was to be mounted on guiding rails, the “suspended” assembly was to be performed without any additional supports. Once the retractable section of the roof was assembled, the most complicated stage of the Stadium construction was completed. The ground was cleared of towering cranes, and the workers started fine‑tuning the retractable pitch system.

72 Krymsky Bridge, Russia

Technology of installation: floating transportation On October 11, 2017, the operation for transportation and subsequent installation of the motorway bridge arch above the channel began. The giant span was moved from the construction yard on land onto pontoons. The floating platform carrying a massive 6,000‑ton arch was transported to the design location by tug boats. The enormous structure was to travel a three‑kilometer distance across the strait. In order to avoid interference with the transportation and installation processes, navigation in the strait was suspended for three days. Special sensors were installed on the arches: they were monitoring the strain-stress state of the structure and allowed observ- ing the arch span behavior in real time. Crossing 3 km in the channel took several hours. Then, with the help of winches, the arch was pulled in place between the piers. This process demanded the highest level of coordination between all parties involved. With its impressive dimensions, the distance between the 227‑meter arch span and bridge piers had to be no more than 65 centimeters. The second stage of the operation was to raise the arch to its design position. It took twelve powerful jacks six hours to raise the giant structure from the water surface. The installation was performed at the pace of 5 meters per hour under the scrutiny of hundreds of specialists and close supervision by the compre- hensive automatic monitoring system. It was for the first time in the history of Russian bridge-building that such a massive structure was raised above the water surface. A hi‑tech process like this has never been perpormed before in Russia or the Soviet Union. Designers clearly understood there was no room for mis- takes. Any contingency would mean failing to meet the construction deadline. On the morning of October 15, the arch took its design position at- op the piers at the 35‑m level, next to its railway twin. The arch was raised with the utmost positioning precision. The unprece- dented operation of transportation and installation of the motorway bridge span above the channel was successfully completed.
