"Owners, planners and entrepreneurs but also users of tunnel structures in operation often question the use of mechanized tunnelling technology for the construction of short to relatively short tunnels. This topic had already attracted broad interest in the tunnelling industry especially among contractors and project planners about the minimum tunnel length, where the application of mechanized tunnelling technology is reasonable and commercially advantageous. Within the context of this paper, a selection of reference projects is presented, showing that the use of tunnel boring machines (TBMs) can be quite viable even for relatively short tunnels and can be also crucial for the realization and secure implementation of a project.
