COMPRESSED AIR TUNNELLING 45






















            Figure 2.10 Air losses from the tunnel perimeter.

























            Figure 2.11 Total air losses.


            amount  of  air  was  lost.  At  location  4  in  Figure  2.11,  the  tunnel  face  started
            moving out of the clay layer and so the air losses increased.
