Abstract
The shaft was a temporary structure used for the driving of all tunnel s from a single intermediate working point; after these works, it was used to house the permanent ventilation and pumping equipment. This Pa per describes the shaft and its construction. Marshalling chambers wer e enlarged sections of tunnels allowing the assembly of TBMs and back- ups and then the manoeuvring of service trains during tunnel drives. T he Paper describes their construction method, which had to be adapted according to the terrain encountered.
