Abstract

The specificity of a method for submerging a modular floating tunnel with flexible seals pressurized from inside and threaded pullers is that the cylindrical modules from reinforced concrete, necessary for the construction of the tunnel, are assambled from prefabricated sections directly on the mobile submerging platform, where the modules are one by one attached to the end of the already mounted tunnel that reaches to the water surface and continuously submerged into the water so that the tunnel remains entirely dry inside. This is possible because the modules are joined together with threaded pullers and sealed with flexible seals, pressurized from inside, what makes possible to turn the tunnel end uppward. Compared to the known solutions, it will significantly accelerate the mounting and reduce the cost of building underwater tunnels.
