In order for the completed tunnel to fulfill its function, it must be positioned exactly as planned. Factors influencing the accuracy of the tunneling include route and gradient planning, soil and groundwater conditions, the chosen tunneling method, impacts and resistances on the tunneling machine, as well as the accompanying construction supervision and control. This manual serves as the basis for construction preparation, surveying, and supervision of shield tunneling, and is equally applicable to pipe and segmental tunneling conducted with controlled shield machines. Clients, planners, inspectors, and contractors will use this manual as a technical guide for safe and precise tunneling. Additionally, the book is suitable as a textbook for training and further education.
