Project description:The seismicity of the construction area and constructionsites is 9 points.

To damp the movements arising during seismic impact, and uniformly distribute horizontal seismic load between all piers of the overcrossings and bridges, damping devices having elastic component, i.e., returning the superstructure to the initial position are installed in line of each pier between the superstructure beams and the stop node on the pier. In this regard, thoroughly movable ball and segment bearings are installed on all piers.

Watertight expansion joints of beam type of ‘Maurer Sohne GmbH&Co’ company compensate temperature movements on the intermediate piers and temperature and seismic movements on abutments. Shock transmitters, which are combining non-continuous superstructures into continuous ones in case of earthquake, are installed along with expansion joints.

Transportation Tunnel on Kanonersky Island under the Sea Channel, LeningradTechnology of installation: Fabrication technology of 5 tunnel sections weighing 8,000 tonnes per each one, locking of sections, transportation through the Sea Channel, lowering and jointing.Reinforced concrete structure of the tunnel underwater section was divided lengthwise into large sections, which were properly constructed in a customized structure – dock lock. Section sizes were 75 x 13.3 x 8 m with a wall thickness of 93cm during design of Kanonersky Tunnel. The weight of each huge section was approx. 8,000 tonnes.

The end of each section was equipped with a special rubber sealing along the perimeter and precisely covered with a steel watertight partition. Thus, each section was converted into enclosed space, it obtained floatability and could be easily transported through the water in this condition. Section weight and its volume were analyzed so that section floatability was 180–200 tonnes. Total sections were equipped with shafts (pipes with a diameter of 1,220 mm) from above, providing access towards the interior.Entire five sections were combined into a raft assembly after fabrication of the abovementioned, then locking process began, and the sections were relocated to the lock tank to the water level in the Sea Channel.

Then, the sections were transported one-by-one via tow boats down the Sea Channel towards the tunnel axis, where an additional fairway of the depth of about 22 m was previously accomplished by hydraulic excavation vessels. Those sections obtained negative buoyancy by ballasting and then they were lowered to the bottom of new fairway by means of winches and pulleys plus installed on the vertical jacks.

First section was attached to the end of previously constructed cast-in-situ section of the tunnel which was also equipped with an end steel partition (See above), it was tightly pressed end-to-end with a preliminary pressing of rubber seal and then the water was pumped out from the space between the ends via special horizontal jacks, plus the first section was tightly pushed to the end of cast-in-situ section via hydrostatical pressure force.Total 5 sections were combined with each other in the same way.After installation of needed sections, works regarding washing away the gap under the bottom of sections, washing away the structure of a new fairway and the rest of civil works were fulfilled.
