Abstract
The Koralm railway tunnel with a length of about 33 km and an overburden up to 1700 m is
planned in southern Austria. To select the most economic alignment, a geotechnical assessment of the entire route corridor with an area of about 150 km² was made. It will be shown how the geotechnical parameters concerning costs and time of the planned TBM-excavation were determined and calculated. The mean value and distribution were determined for each parameter allowing statistical methods to be implemented into the analysis. To handle the extensive amount of data the results were assigned to various “layers” and visualized with a Geographic Information System (GIS). Due to the structure of the data a rating can be made by connecting the assessment parameters and layers respectively. It is, for example, possible to achieve a cost based
assessment of the entire corridor by applying cost relevant weighting factors.
