Abstract:Taking the shield type underground utility tunnel construction of Shenyang south canal as an example, this paper summarizes the design experience of shield method for utility tunnel construction in central urban area,and introduces the layout of internal compartments and the setting of inlet pipelines in shield type utility tunnel.It also discusses the key points of plane and vertical section elevation design,and the internal layout form of multi function well is emphatically discussed in shield type utility tunnel. The multi function well connects the double track utility tunnel, and multiple functional rooms such as inlet and outlet room, hoisting room, outlet well, ventilator room and power distribution room are set inside, so as to organically integrate the functions of personnel escape, equipment hoisting and ventilation required by the pipe gallery into a single node well, so as to meet the special requirements of the construction of comprehensive pipe gallery by shield construction method.
