New measures on the construction sites 27
Modernization of the Mont-Royal Tunnel
Modernization of the Mont-Royal Tunnel 29 Modernization of a century-old tunnel 5 km of tunnel Reinforcement of the rock to modernize from Central Station to Canora, including addition Excavation to add stations of McGill and Édouard-Montpetit New lighting system stations Construction of a New ventilation shafts separation wall New power supply Installation of a new New rails telecommunications system New ballast Drainage
Modernization of the Mont-Royal Tunnel Two unexpected events beyond our control that occurred in 2020 Following the complete closure of the tunnel as of May 11th Unplanned detonation Intrusive inspections and of a century-old explosive discovery of the tunnel’s charge deficient general condition beneath McGill College All measures required to ensure Avenue safety of workers, professionals, suppliers and citizens were implemented.
Unplanned detonation of a century-old 31 explosive charge Status of the situation July 21 After investigation and May 11, 2020 May and June 2020 July 2020 enquiry: closure of the mobilization of start of unexpected Mont-Royal teams and excavation detonation while Most likely root cause: Tunnel preparatory work work drilling in a intersected an old bore work face hole containing – No workers explosive residue dating were injured back to tunnel in this event construction in 1912.
Unplanned detonation of a century-old explosive charge 32 Cause analysis according to exports Construction techniques - Horizontal drill bar with one (1) or four (4) drills mounted to it - Major limitations of drilling equipment in the era: Limited ability to position accurately and align the hole
Unplanned detonation of a century-old explosive charge 33 Key conclusions from the investigation The detonation occurred Three primary risks More than one hundred following direct thermal associated with simulations to model the contact with nitroglycerin detonation of an explosive extreme conditions of a residue, not from vibration. charge: detonation. 1. Rock projections Tests established from various 2. Air overpressure analyses based on the minimum standards to be met, in terms of 3. Fumes projections, noise and air quality.
Unplanned detonation of a century-old explosive charge 34 Measures implemented to resume modernization work More than 1 km of 30,000 boreholes clearance required, making required within the context of it impossible for other work modernizing the tunnel to take place concurrently in this zone 585 m 585 m Borehole Mont-Royal Tunnel Requirement to be inside a converted container No activity permitted in this area (within 50 metres)
Unplanned detonation of a century-old explosive charge 35 Measures implemented to resume modernization work Strict measures established and approved by the CNESST to resume work, including required employee training Principles to follow during excavation: (or wherever there is a risk of detonating a potential charge) Within 585 metres: no Within 585 metres: all Within 50 metres: no Within 50 metres: use workers on foot machinery operators worker or operator of remote controlled unless a mitigation must be inside a permitted equipment measure has been converted container due to the risk of rock projections. implemented
General tunnel condition 36 beneath McGill College Avenue Status of the situation 2020-05-11 May and June 2020 August 2020 Series of tests conducted during the summer to validate the quality of the Mount Royal Tunnel structure closure of the mobilization of opening of the located between Central Station and Maisonneuve Street Mont-Royal Mont-Royal teams and Tunnel vault Tunnel preparatory work beneath McGill College Avenue Very significant deterioration of this southern section of the tunnel, potentially compromising the structural integrity of McGill College Avenue, due to the permeation of water mixed with de-icing salt for more than 60 years.
General tunnel condition beneath McGill Avenue 37 Mont-Royal Tunnel construction Double vault built beneath existing McGill College Avenue No waterproofing membrane installed De-icing salt used on the surface
General tunnel condition beneath McGill Avenue 38 Structural deficiencies in the southern section Three sections of the Mont-Royal Tunnel North section Central section South section
General tunnel condition beneath McGill Avenue Reinforcement required Significant reinforcing measures required to ensure long-term Ground integrity of the tunnel Four scenarios analyzed: Option with the least impact on traffic and the City of Montréal recommended to perform work from the inside. CIP Temporary scaffolding Rock
Tunnel modernization 40 Commissioning between Central Station and Du Ruisseau Exceptional events identified: Reinforcement required and adjustment of work methods to modernize the Mont-Royal Tunnel: COVID-19 impact – Commissioning of the segment from Unplanned detonation of Du Ruisseau to Central Station: fall of a century-old explosive 2023, i.e. an additional 18 months of charge work General tunnel condition – Close collaboration with the beneath McGill Avenue ARTM and Mobilité Montréal to extend all measures implemented for Deux-Montagnes and Mascouche line users during this period.
Updated schedule
Effect of the new scope for modernizing the tunnel 42 Testing period on the Deux-Montagnes, Anse-à-l’Orme and Airport branches Once tunnel modernization is complete: required testing period lasting about six months to Connection of control conduct tests prior to opening the Deux- systems Montagnes, Anse-à-l’Orme and Airport branches. Command Centre in Brossard
Cumulative effect on the Airport Branch - COVID-19 impact of 3 to 6 months, affecting particularly the following elements: - Mobility of specialized labourers - Supply chain - Period of about 6 months required for testing - Delay in launching the tunnel boring machine
