Abstract

Intensive development of megacities causes the need for sustainable operation of underground urban infrastructure facilities. In the special protection against man-made impact, long-operated unique underground structures of the water disposal system, which are related to facilities with an increased level of responsibility and danger, are needed. In the report, based on the experience of studying the operation of underground wastewater facilities in conditions of weak soils and intensive external static and dynamic impacts, there are proposed new methods for diagnosing their technical condition, modeling and monitoring of the joint work of the "underground structures aggregate of soil" system are implemented, forecasting and shaping conditions for its sustainable life cycle. Point and linear objects of the water canal of St. Petersburg are developed and implemented at unique (to a depth of 70 m.) geotechnology, providing simultaneous increase of bearing capacity, operational reliability and ecological safety of longoperated underground drainage facilities in difficult ground conditions with increasing man-caused impacts.

Highlights

  • General information about the object of deep engineering infrastructure in large cities

  • With long-term operation and intensive development of engineering infrastructure of megalopolises increase the requirements to the ecology and efficient usage of land resources

  • During engineering development of underground spaces of such a megalopolis, design of integrated measures for protection of town-planning environment against negative anthropogenic impact is of special actuality

Summary

Introduction

General information about the object of deep engineering infrastructure in large cities. Petersburg all sewage network is divided into three basins that serve three main pumping plants up to 70 m deep and up to 66 m in diameter, with productivity of 1.5 mln m3 of sewage per day For such conditions the main constructive solution for the tunnels are the ferroconcrete tubings with inner ferroconcrete jackets. “Lengiproinzhproekt” institute together with the St. Petersburg State Transportation University has been providing scientific and engineering maintenance, design, construction and rehabilitation of St. Petersburg sewerage system objects for more than 30 years: more than 70 pumping plants, including those with depth of 45 m, 59 m and 71 m, and with diameters of 47 m, 59 m and 66 m; more than km of tunnel sewage collectors with diameters of 1.85, 2.5 and 3.4 m and with depth of m, 24 and 37 m [1].
