Abstract:

The objectives of the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) Tunneling Program are to lower subway construction costs and reduce construction hazards and damage to the environment. Advances in the practice of technology of construction monitoring of soft ground tunnels and deep excavations can lead to a better control, and in some cases reductions in, transit construction costs. This handbook documents the findings of a recent UMTA construction monitoring instrumentation research project. The handbook is directed to systems managers and planners to show how to incorporate successful monitoring programs in their systems to help control and reduce costs. Recommendations are made for planning and specifying the purchase and installation of instrumentation.
