1 Risk Management Applied to Mechanized Tunnelling in Urban Area Piergiorgio GRASSO - GEODATA, Italy ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
2 Contents Peculiar aspects of Tunnelling in urban areas Demanding requirements: how to face it? The need of a Risk Management Plan: a robust approach Implementing a RMP Identification Quantification Primary response to the identified risks (mitigation measures, including correct design-construction choices) Evaluation of residual risk and control criteria Predefinition of countermeasures to face the residual risks Control: use of a Plan for Advance of Tunnel (PAT) ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
3 Tunnelling in urban area Tunnelling is increasingly being seen as an environmentally preferable means of providing infrastructure to densely populated urban areas The demands for tunnels in urban area comes from various markets: Underground transportation systems (metro, railways, highways) Utilities (DSS, water supply, flood mitigation, hydro, pipeline) Underground shopping centres and pedestrian systems ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June

6 Difficult tunneling context ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
7 The challenges The increasing number of new challenging projects that involves tunnels in urban area or long and deep tunnels, which have always represented one of the most complex and ambitious engineering undertakings, together with the pressing market requirements continuously lead to new difficulties to be overcame. The real challenge is give certainty in an uncertain context in terms of: Quality Cost and Time Safety during the construction and the exploitation stages Durability ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
8 Risk Management Approach No construction project is risk free. Risk can be managed, minimized, shared, transferred, or simply accepted, but it cannot be ignored. (Managing Geotechnical Risk, Sir Michael Latham, 1994) Risk should be properly managed by: -Risk identification; -Risk quantification; -Definition of the responses to risk: Control of residual risk. ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
9 Risk Management Approach In cases where the initial risk level is not acceptable, the relevant mitigation measures should be identified and designed. After application of the mitigation measures the "residual risk level" is reached. ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
10 Risk Management Approach Observational Method + Flexible Approach PAT + = Full RMP Monitoring of behaviour behavior -Underground structure -Surrounding ground -Structure above Prediction -Design Analysis -Design Analysis -Threshold values -Treshold values -Pre-definition of counter measures Design Optimization & Application of pre-defined counter measures Concept of iterative design through the use of a Plan for Advance of Tunnel (PAT) ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
11 Plan for the advancement of the Tunnel: PAT Geological conditions Supervision Training Clientcontractor team Workmanship Structure Performance Ground treatment & Construction Method Monitoring Interpretation Risks management Successful Project PAT The use of the control techniques and the continuous updating of the designconstruction protocol, called PAT, help to stabilize actively the equilibrium, otherwise known as unstable, of the observational method. ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
12 What happens without a RMP Collapses can heavily injure third parties and/or cause serious damages to people and private properties. ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
13 Implementing a RMP: Identification Define Reference Design Scenario Creation of a team of specialists Collection of published and unpublished data, including site investigation data Risk sessions to identity risks, and rank in terms of prob./likelihood and impact, using checklists, heuristics, risk software, RES (Hudson), etc. Creation of a register of risks Produce a geo model and estimate likeliest ground conditions, and variations ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
14 Implementing a RMP: Identification The use of Risk Register ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
15 Implementing a RMP: Identification The use of Risk Register ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
16 Implementing a RMP: Identification FAMILY OF HAZARDS Compiling the Risk Register Design CAUSES Construction (mechanized) Factual data and input information GEOLOGY Factual data and input information HYDROGEOL. -Insufficient data collection -Insufficient field work of experiences geologists -Local experts not involved -Lack of site investigations to reduce local uncertainties -Lack of geological model validation during preconstruction activities (boreholes to install in-ground monitoring equipments) -Lack of geological model validation during construction (probing ahead, face mapping) -Insufficient data collection -Late start in the collection of data -Groups of available data statistically not meaningful -Insufficient tests both on site and in labs -Ground failure mechanisms related to tunnelling not fully understood -TBM is not equipped to probe ahead -Face mapping is not systematic during cutterhead maintenance and whenever possible -Lack of strict controls of face pressure to maintain face stability -Recruited personnel without enough experience -Insufficient piezometers -Insufficient correlation studies of rainfall data vs. piezometric readings -Late start in the installation of monitoring instruments -Monitoring instruments not installed ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
17 Implementing a RMP: Quantification Risk quantification is based on a combination of: objective (statistical) and judgmental approaches (experts opinion). Judgmental quantification becomes necessary when: - the nature and extent of the data is not suitable to statistical manipulation; - or, the statistical analysis of data cannot identify the specific problem such as a fault of cohesionless material). ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
18 Implementing a RMP: Quantification Qualitative Risk Analysis ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
19 RMP: Example of a RMP Showing hazard identification, risk quantification, response likelihood impact Impact has the following implications: technical, planning, cost, safely Likelihood scale: 1 Improbable 2 Remote 3 Occasional 4 Probable 5 Frequent Every hazard is identified. Related impact and likelihood are scored in order to estimate the associated risk. Response in terms of design, construction, logistics, etc. are defined. residual risks evaluation...

26 Implementing a RMP: Mitigation measures Choice of correct excavation method as primary countermeasure The TBM cutterhead has to be designed for excavating in hard rock. The confinement has to guarantee the face stability in weak rock and cohesionless soils. ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
27 Implementing a RMP: Mitigation measures Selecting the correct method, including the correct and specific machine is a necessary, but not always sufficient, condition for success. It is necessary that all the stakeholders participate in the project to the best of their capabilities for addressing the following aspects: The Owner needs to develop and use a list of criteria for the selection of the Contractor and the Designer. The Designer must arrange all the known elements necessary for a correct work development and for doing adequate investigations. The Designer must also be aware of the state-of-the-art machines for tunnel excavation, and collaborate with the constructors in selecting the best solutions for the identified problems. The machine Manufacturer must efficiently combine the need of mechanical engineering with the aspects related to tunnel construction. The Contractor must always operate the selected machine in a careful and rigorous manner The Contractor must utilize only skilled and well-trained personnel. ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
28 RMP: selection of the best alternative Construction of a 4.5km long shallow tunnel in urban environment with a EPB shield that can excavate in both open and close modes depending on the geological and surface conditions. Elements of the Modeling Approach - subdivision of the alignment in OF and CFcompatible regions; excavation duration [months] chainage - definitions of distributions of likelihood and size of incident when operating in OF when conditions require CF; - exponential function to take into account the increases in the time and cost arising from repeated occurrence of incidents. ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
29 Quantifying the impact of a set of risks: use of DAT Simulation of hazard & inadequacy 40 chainage excavation duration [months] chainage excavation duration cost accident simulation Distribution of time and cost duration ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
30 Implementing a RMP: Mitigation measures Mitigation (during design, before excavation) Kovari, 2004 Where the excavation technique and the procedures are not sufficient to properly reduce the residual risk at acceptable standards, consolidation works will have to be designed. Kovari, 2004 ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
31 Implementing a RMP: Mitigation measures The correct excavation technology is the primary response to risks (e.g., EPB shield integrated with a secondary face support system) Secondary Face Support System pump SFSS = injection of bentonite slurry into the chamber as an "active manner to keep the pressure always at the desired value ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
32 Implementing a RMP: Mitigation measures Countermeasures (design & during excavation) The continuous and validated monitoring of the excavation parameters is a fundamental part of the RMP recorded pressure operational range Extracted weight ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June

36 Implementing a RMP: Countermeasures Countermeasures (during excavation) ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
37 Implementing a RMP: Systematic Control The management of the operational data, together with the monitoring readings (exactly like the flight recorder of an airplane), make it possible to implement the countermeasures in the shortest possible time, in order to avoid the plane crash (or the tunnel collapse) as a consequence of the accident, and not to use the black box just to investigated the causes of the crash ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June

68 Conclusions Risks traditionally have been managed indirectly through the engineering decisions taken during the project development. By the use of techniques of Risk Management throughout the tunnel project development it is ensured that potential problems are identified in due time, such that the appropriate risk reducing measures can be implemented. The use of risk management from the early stages of a project, where major decisions such as choice of alignment and selection of construction methods can be influenced, is essential. ITA CBT Seminario SAT2008 Sao Paolo, June
69 Conclusions Be wise a priori: the unexpected is no longer acceptable from a risk management point of view. Use a systematic risk management approach to allow for reliable technical solutions and to ensure Certainty of results (in terms of safety, time & cost, quality and durability) in Uncertain context.
