Proposed Transport Link to Sakhalin: Tunnel

  • UNDERGROUND STRUCTURES
  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

The main prerequisites for creating a tunnel between Sakhalin and the mainland are presented in this paper, along with associated problems. The authors analyze the comparative advantages and disadvantages of possible transport link options taking into account natural and climatic factors, geotechnical conditions, as well as construction and operation features. A fundamental technical solution is proposed, along with an organizational scheme of underwater tunneling works.
