    This document summarizes the formwork systems used to construct an underground rail tunnel in Sydney, Australia. It describes the project requirements and constraints of tunneling below a national park and river bed. It then provides details on the TRIO and MULTIFLEX formwork systems that were implemented to construct the sloped concrete roof and walls of the tunnel in three separate sections. Special brackets and a combination of shoring equipment from both systems enabled the construction of the complex tunnel geometry subject to the project's limitations.

    Epping to Chatswood Tunnel

    A. Project Data
    Location: Sydney, Australia
    This section of the rail tunnel passed through a national park and was originally proposed as
    a bridge. Due to community concerns they decided to tunnel below the national park. Cut
    and cover was the proposed method as the tunnel roof was just below the river bed.
    Constructed in three stages and three separate sections, the base, the walls and the roof.

    B. Requirements
    ▪ Supply the roof form and walls
    ▪ Forming up the soffit completely in spite of sloping roof and over 2.0m deep edge
    Sloping floor at the edges
    C. System in use
    1. TRIO Pannel Formwork

     Overview
    TRIO is the universal formwork system for all applications where the main focus
    is on reducing the shuttering times with conventional DW tie technology. With
    the BFD coupler for virtually all connections as well as many other practical system
    solutions, TRIO has successfully proven itself in countless projects around the
    world. TRIO can be used together with the more advanced MAXIMO panel
    formwork. A large range of accessories, such as the BFD Coupler or MXK Bracket
    System, can be used in both systems.
    Easy and simple connections
    with the BFD Alignment Coupler as the only component for all panel connections
    Fast working operations
    with only a minimum of panel widths as well as panels that can be used both
    horizontally and vertically
    Large-area shuttering
    with standard panels up to 3.30 m x 2.40 m – providing a high level of surface
    evenness and only 2 tie positions
     Technical Details
    - Flexibly used panel formwork for fast working operations, compatible with
    MAXIMO panel formwork
    - Panel heights up to 3.30 m, panel widths up to 2.40 m (standard system)
    - Maximum permissible fresh concrete pressure: 80 kN/m²
    - Can be used with DW 15 and DW 20 tie systems
    - Flush, aligned and tight connections with the BFD Alignment Coupler –
    including filler timber compensations up to 10 cm
    - Simple cleaning operations due to the powder-coated frame

     Extended Programme
    TRIO Aluminium
    Lightweight formwork for crane-independent working; easily distinguishable by
    its yellow powder coating
    TRIO Structure
    TRIO panels with a free choice of formlining for special concrete surface
    requirements – supplied already pre-assembled
    TRIO Housing
    ▪ Conically-shaped ties installed from one side on the ground
    ▪ Element with securely mounted working platforms and push-pull props
    ▪ Formlining screwed on at the rear
    TRIO shaft element
    With the TRIO shaft element, complete shaft internal formwork can be moved
    quickly; the all-round striking clearance is 30 mm.
    MXK Bracket System
    The MXK Bracket System serves as a working platform on MAXIMO and TRIO. The
    modular design and lightweight, manually-assembled system components ensure
    fast installation and a high level of costeffectiveness. In contrast to conventional
    solutions, the modular system provides pre-assembled individual components,
    e.g. the MXK Scaffold Deck or PROKIT PMB Side Mesh Barrier.

    2. MULTIFLEX Girder Slab Formwork


     Overview
    The main components of the MULTIFLEX are the VT 20K or GT 24 Formwork
    Girders. As the main and cross beams, their position and spacing as well as the
    formlining can be freely selected, MULTIFLEX provides maximum flexibility for a
    wide range of requirements. If the high load-bearing GT24 Formwork Girders are
    used, large spans for the main and cross beams can be realized. MULTIFLEX is
    therefore the ideal solution for complicated ground plans, slabs with offsets
    or integrated downstand beams, as well as forming operations in confined spaces.
    Optimized use of materials
    through any combination of GT 24 and VT 20K Formwork Girders as well as a freely
    selectable girder arrangement
    For all ground plans
    through the variable positioning of the girders – also polygonally or overlapping
    For all surface requirements
    with freely selectable formlining for the stipulated quality and adaptable to suit
    the required joint arrangement

     Technical Details
    - Girder slab formwork consisting of main and cross beams for the formlining
    of choice
    - Project-specific selection of the formwork girders and their spacing
    - For slab thicknesses of up to 100 cm with GT 24 Formwork Girders, for slab
    thicknesses up to 50 cm with VT 20K Formwork Girders
    - Adapting the individual component weights in accordance with the
    boundary conditions
    - Free choice of shoring
    - No infill areas due to project-specific planning
    - Tilt-resistant support of the cross beams on the main beams through the
    use of Flexclips
    D. Solution
    - Special sheer brackets to support the edges, a combination of Multiprops, ST100,
    compression braces and multiflex for the roof
    - TRIO and the Multiprop shoring for the walls
