The original construction plan for the western section of the Red Line of Tel Aviv Metro in Israel is the
parallel construction of the station and shield tunneling. The shield launching shaft has been completed, but the station
has not been begun. The risk of handover delay exists in some station sites, and most of the foundation pits of the station
are designed with the underwater excavation, bottom sealing and the anti-floating scheme of long anchor cable. The
construction difficulty is large, the technology is complex, and the construction period is long, which will cause the
shield tunneling discontinuity and the sluggish work. In order to realize the cross construction between the intermediate
station and the shield construction, and reduce the risk of project delay and overexpenditure, after adequate evaluation,
analysis and demonstration, the construction scheme of some key sections is optimized as " tunneling first and then
station", and the foundation pit excavation and bottom sealing schemes of the station are optimized as dewatering dry
excavation and bottom sealing scheme, as well as the wall anchoring pin bars or pulling pile anti-floating is adopted. The
optimized solutions largely reduce the interference between station and shield construction, avoid a large number of highrisk
construction processes such as the shield arrival and secondary launching in weak and water-rich stratum at the end
of the station, reduce the engineering technical difficulty and construction risk, improve the engineering quality
(especially the waterproofing and solid quality of joints), guarantee the construction period, and effectively control the
comprehensive cost.
