- Abstract:
A construction method involved in the placement of a plastic liner steel plate system for a tunnelling construction project is analysed. Aspects of implementing plastics as a new material for liner plates with regard to their technical, organizational, and economic impact are evaluated. Advantages and disadvantages are presented of polyethylene in comparison with traditional steel. Finally, initial estimation of cost advantages associated with plastic liners is outlined.
