crushing chamber behind the head to break down cobbles to a manageable size. The sewer was driven through alluvial clas. sandy alluvium, sand and gravel. This project was described and discussed at the British Tunnelling Society's meeting, 28th February 1985.
Groundwater problems
?he use of directional horizontal boring systems, which can drill large diameter holes (up to 610mm) over long distances (up to 3000m) is described. Surface equipment, downhole motors and bits, guidance systems and the economic potential of this technique are discussed.

The technique of wellpointing to lower the water table, reduce the pressure head and decrease the water make when tunnelling is introduced and its advantages and disadvantages compared with other groundwater control methods discussed. Case studies are cited.
New technologies such as small-diameter pipe jacking, curve jacking and slurry shield tunnelling are discussed. Equipment, lubricants and grouting are considered.

855138 Lyon goes underground despite its rivers Braun, W Tunn Tunnlg V17, N5, May 1985, P25-28 The Lyon Metro Line D includes 2500m of shield driven tunnel with curves and gradual changes of invert level down to a maximum depth of 25m below the water table. Ground is predominantly gravel with large stones, plus weathered granite and marl. A modified hydroshield is being used, which produces a continuously cast steel-fibre reinforced concrete primary lining as it progresses. An electronic guidance system, which was specially adapted for the curves and inclines of this scheme, allows a high degree of driving precision. 855139 Drill and blast heats TBM at Glomfjord Martin, D Tunn Tunnlg VI 7, N5, May 1985, P33-35 The 7600m Svartisen Road Tunnel, Glomfjord, Norway, was driven from both ends. Drill and blast technique was used in the granite region whilst a full face tunnel boring machine started from the other end and drove into mica-schists and sandstone. Frogress with the TBM was not as fast as expected due to ~eologic and technical problems. The two techniques are briefly c~npared on bases of speed, efficiency and economics. 855140 Cznadian coal given the TBM treatment at Cape Breton Wallis, S Tunn Tunnlg V17, N5, May 1985, P39-42 On Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada, 3.5km-long drifts have been driven to intersect coal seams about 150m below the sea bed. The tunnel was driven through mixed ground, sandstone with compressive strength 10-100MPa. The initial drive used drill and blast but the majority used a fully shielded full face tunnel boring machine, with circular steel sets being used for support. Comparing the excavation methods, the TBM costs/m were less than half that of drill and blast. 855141 Newcastle slurry machine Mellors, T W Tunn Tunnlg VI7, N5, May 1985.
