Скачать или смотреть Immersion tunnel elements Limerick Tunnel in Ireland

Strukton Immersion Projects immersed five tunnel units in Limerick, Ireland. The units measure approximately 100 x 25 x 8.5 metres. The tunnel has a length of 675 metres and consists of two tunnel tubes, both equipped with emergency escape routes. Construction of the units commenced in 2007, while the immersion activities are executed in September 2008.

The five tunnel units are placed in the River Shannon, near Limerick in South-West Ireland. The tunnel, which connects Coonagh and Bunlicky, is approximately 900 metres. The immersion tunnel is part of the 'Limerick Southern Ring Road Phase II' project. Ring Road Phase II is the final stage in the construction of a ring road around Limerick City. This ring road will divert a significant amount of traffic away from the city centre, with some 40,000 vehicles estimated to use the road on a daily basis.
