Excavation of the Ejpovice Tunnels

Abstract:

In the year 2013 the modernization of a railway track between the cities Rokycany and Plzeň had began. This project, which is part of the third Czech Railway Transit Corridor includes partly reconstruction of the existing track and partly construction of a completely new track. Because of this, in the part between Ejpovice and Plzeň, new structures like bridges, culverts as well as tunnels have to be done. Two tunnel tubes under the hills Homolka and Chlum will be excavated by S-799 Herrenknecht tunneling machine and after its completion they will be the longest railway tunnels in the Czech Republic. The complete length will be 4150 meters. Tunnel lining segments are made of fiber-reinforced concrete.
