Cornwell | October 17, 1972 |
A tunnel section is produced by enclosing an annular ring of expanded metal within an outer covering of plastic material. The expanded metal has inward projections struck out from it which are small enough to enter the spaces or to enter into openings provided in another sheet. The inner surface of the expanded metal is then sprayed with concrete, the thickness of the layer formed being less than the length of the struck out tongues. After the concrete is sufficiently cured, another layer of expanded metal is placed on the inside wall, with the tongues of the first layer passing through openings in it, and the tongues are bent over to secure the latter layer in position and to connect the layers together. The second layer also has inwardly projected tongues. The second layer is then sprayed in the same manner as the first. This is continued until the desired wall thickness is obtained.
