TUNNELS UNDER BUSY STREETS
How Sewers Are Laid without Hooking
Traffic.

Traffic.
From the Engineering Magazine.
In the course Of the improvements in
the sewerage of Paris Ii was decided in
1884 to construct new main collecting
sewer from the Place de la Trinite to
the siphon which passes under the
Seine at Clichy. The large size Of the
proposed sewer. known as the 'Coilec-
teur de Clichy,'' and the fact that the
route passed under important and
much travelled streets. filled with shade
trees and carrying tramways, caused
the authorities to hesitate about cutting
a trench for the conduct OF the work.
1t was therefore decided to adopt
system of tunneling, with such arrange
ment of shields and supports as would
maintain the surface of the roadway
intact and permit the entire work to be
carried on below ground. although the
top of the sewer arch at places would
come within three feet of the surface.
In order 10 support the soil and the
load upon the superncumbent roadway
il was necessary TO adopt a metallic
shield similar TO that devised by Brunei
for the construction of the Thames
tunnel and this shield was followed by
a system of movable centers or frames
upon which the masonry was con-
structed and supported. As there was
no liquid mass To he encountered the
end OF the shield was left open. the
ring of plate iron With sharp edges, re-
enforced with angles and braces and
carrying six hydraulic. cylinders, by
means of which 1t could be forced for
ward The rams OF these cylinders
thrust back against the masonry ring

dunn OF the metallic center rings al

The interior of the tunnel was kept

tive power for Xentlating. hauling,
