Tunnel Operational Noise
HS2 vent shafts are designed, constructed, operated and maintained along with associated stationary equipment so that noise in the worst affected residential receptors, conforms to British Standard Guidance and achieves the aims of the Noise Policy Statement for England.
Mechanical equipment within the vent shaft is only operated under the following circumstances:
• During an emergency;
• During maintenance when required to maintain an acceptable air quality environment; and
• During tunnel congestion when required to maintain an acceptable air quality environment.

2.3 Tunnel Aerodynamics
Tunnel aerodynamics are a function of the interaction of key infrastructure and rolling stock parameters such as:
• Diameter and roughness of tunnel • Length of tunnel • Provision of tunnel draught relief • Portal design • Train speed and length • Train aerodynamic profile
The primary controlling factors are the train speed and the “blockage ratio” (i.e. train area/tunnel area).

2.4 Vent Shafts
Primary Purpose • Smoke extract and control • Pressure relief • Access for emergency services • Passenger comfort to keep air quality and temperature
within acceptable limits
Secondary Uses • Tunnel boring machine maintenance intervention • Access for railway maintenance

2.5 Increased energy use in Tunnels
Traction power • Energy required for the traction power of the trains increases in tunnels. • In the open air 80% of the energy used by the train goes into overcoming air
resistance. This increases to 90% in a tunnel.
Increased power for Mechanical and Electrical plant and equipment • Increase in energy costs for the railway due to the plant necessary for safety
arrangements, for example: ― fans ― lifts ― fire mains ― emergency lighting plus tunnel integrity plant (e.g pumps, cooling
arrangements)

3. Construction
3.1 Types of Tunnelling Techniques Applicable to HS2
Bored Tunnels
• Shield type machines with precast segmental tunnel lining.
• Used when surface access is very limited at depths typically below one tunnel diameter.
• Longer tunnel lengths where economical to use machine.
Cut & Cover Tunnels (“Green Tunnels”)
• Typically concrete box structures constructed in excavated ground.
• Used at shallower depths where there is good surface access.
Mined/Sprayed Concrete Lining Tunnels
• Mechanically excavated with sprayed concrete lining.
• Used in shorter drives or more complicated shapes, also in soft rock ground conditions.

Settlement Protective Measures • The primary form of settlement mitigation will be by good tunnelling
practice, including continuous working. Where required additional measures (e.g. grouting and structural solutions) will be carried out based on a three stage assessment as set out in Information Paper C3: Ground Settlement.
• Phase 1 Assessment: A preliminary assessment based on “green field” conditions will be undertaken. Where the predicted settlement is less than 10 mm or less than 1/500 slope, no further assessment is required.
• Phase 2 Assessment: In the case of predicted settlement of more than
10mm or 1/500 slope, an individual building assessment will be carried out. If the potential damage classification is Category 2 (slight) or below - no further assessment is required.

Settlement Protective Measures
• Phase 3 Assessment: Where predicted settlement indicates potential damage classification of 3 (moderate) or higher, a detailed evaluation will be carried out with the aim to reduce the effects to acceptable levels. Where this is not possible further protective measures will be implemented.
• Settlement Deed. Properties within 30 metres of tunnels may apply for a Deed (as set out in information paper C3) to ensure that protective measures are implemented in accordance with the assessment criteria.

3.4 Rate of Tunnelling • The rate of tunnelling is important in minimising settlement. This is achieved by
operating tunnel boring machines appropriately (such as using Earth Pressure Balance machines in “closed” mode).
• In order to keep settlement to acceptable limits, HS2 has specified a maximum of 1% volume loss for bored tunnels.
• Continuous 24 hour tunnelling also minimises settlement as it does not allow time for the ground to fully relax.
• Other methods of controlling settlement include grouting techniques, particularly compensation grouting.

Construction Noise - Tunnel Drive Sites • Tunnel drive sites generate similar noise levels to other large construction
sites.
• Tunnelling activities and the associated local site material handling will be operated 24 hours a day.
• Noise mitigation is provided by the standard means such as hoarding, muffling, baffles and noise suppression on plant and equipment.
• Tunnel sites will be subject to the same HS2 procedures set out under the Code of Construction Practice and will be subject to Local Authority Approval under Section 61 of Code of Pollution Act 1974.

Construction Noise - Tunnel Boring
• Sound and vibration from the tunnel boring machine will be perceptible inside properties for a few days either side of the TBM as it passes beneath them.
• The effects of ground‐borne sound and vibration
from the TBM on building occupants will be short‐term and hence they are not considered to be significant.

4. Costs of Tunnelling Factors
• Tunnel Size • Ground Conditions (rate of progress) • Groundwater/aquifers • Material disposal methodology • Number of shafts • Cross Passages • Ground treatment • Settlement monitoring.

Costs of Tunnelling
Fixed Costs • TBM typically £15 to £20m • Back up material handling similar costs order.
Linear Costs • Labour • Lining materials • Excavated material disposal
Incremental Cost dependent on • Surface arrangements for drive sites, reception sites, portal arrangements. • Increase in shafts, cross passages, shaft M&E systems. • Number of logistics vehicles
