Safety Accident Analysis and Risk Control in Subsea Tunneling

Article Preview

Abstract:

There are more safety risks in subsea tunneling due to the particularity and complexity of its surroundings, so how to control the safety risks effectively has become an urgent problem. Based on the analysis of safety accident cases induced by the subsea tunneling, accident types and corresponding harms are pointed out. By analyzing the engineering characteristics and technical difficulties of the subsea tunnel systematically, the characteristics and occurring mechanism of the safety risk are revealed, and the fact that water inrush is the main safety risk in subsea tunneling is pointed out definitely. Furthermore, the contents of the safety risk control as well as relevant technical system are provided mainly based on water inrush risk, which can be referenced to make control schemes against the safety risk in subsea tunneling.
