Research on Equipment Selection and Traffic Organization of Single Track Railway Tunnel in East Africa
This article is based on the construction of the single-track long tunnel in Mount Ngong,Kenya,East Africa.Through statistical analysis of tunnel section size and construction space conditions and comparison of construction progress indicators and economic indicators under different equipment selection conditions,this paper determines the relatively reasonable single-line tunnel equipment selection scheme.The rapid construction of a single-track tunnel has been achieved by expanding the shelter,designing transportation within the tunnel,and arranging procedures reasonably.The research results show that the analysis of economic benefits of different equipment selection,duration impact,efficiency redundancy,technical conditions and reasonable design of traffic organization are the key to realize the rapid construction of single track railway tunnel.
