Abstract:

The method of tunnel construction by earth pressure balanced (EPB) shield machines is widely used in the construction of urban tunnels. On basis of the features of the tunnel construction by EPB shield machines in Guangzhou Metro, the author expatiates on the safety control of the transportation systems of tunnel construction by EPB shield machines in terms of human resources and material resources, which provides a concept for the safety control of the transportation systems of tunnel construction by EPB shield machines.

Key words: tunnel construction by earth pressure balanced (EPB) shield machine transportation system  , safety control
