The maximum gradient is 2.5% and the depth from surface varies between 20-90m along the route. • Control network with baselines up ~1km in length will be available in the surface near the tunnel portals (walking distance). The network to be used for launching the TBMs is currently being designed. For the tunnel survey control, brackets on the side of the ring segments, left and right side (alternating pattern) are to be installed. • Longest distance between consecutive brackets ~120m, but baselines of up to 500 m are feasible even on the curves • The required accuracy of the alignment at any point and at the breakthrough point is 75 mm horizontally/vertically • First TBM to be Launched mid-April this year and to be operating for ~3.5 years until breakthrough. • All our survey works take place using a SnakeGrid projection reference system.
