Tunnels and underground spaces are becoming inevitable parts of large cities due to the limitations of urban spaces. Tunnel and Underground Spaces section was stablished to provide engineering services such as design, consulting, and supervision of the implementation of tunnels, stations, metro lines, and excavations.
This department provides engineering services in the following areas:
List of urban tunnel projects:
| Project | Specification |
|---|---|
| Niayesh tunnel | Tehran, 2010-2012 |
| Amirkabir tunnel | Tehran, 2011-2013 |
| Hakim (Chitgar) tunnel | Tehran, 2014 (on-going) |
| underpassing Valiasr junction | Tehran, 2014 |
Population growth and limits of urban areas are the most important reasons to construct high rise buildings. Providing enough parking spaces for these structures raises the need for deep excavations.
Excavation with stable slopes is not always possible and, hence, the vertical trenches with supports are inevitable. Supports for these trenches include: nailing, soldier piles, anchoring and micro piles.
Our experienced experts have involved deep excavations in design and supervision of many projects for trench supports with different systems. Some of the projects of this department are:
