Machines pour la construction de tunnels - Exigences de sécurité

La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux tunneliers tels que définis dans l’Article 3 utilisés pour la
construction de tunnels, de puits et autres excavations souterraines. Elle précise les exigences essentielles
de sécurité pour la conception, l’installation, la maintenance et les informations pour l’utilisation de telles
machines.
La présente norme européenne couvre également les mauvais usages raisonnablement prévisibles de ces
machines du fait que la conformité aux exigences de l’Article 5 permet de pallier le risque engendré par un tel
mauvais usage.
La présente Norme Européenne traite de la surveillance des atmosphères dangereuses dans les limites du
tunnelier.
Tout comme les microtunneliers, les machines de fonçage n’exposent pas les personnes au bruit, le bruit ne
constitue pas un phénomène dangereux significatif pour ces machines.
Les vibrations transmises aux mains-bras et sur tout le corps ne représentent pas un phénomène dangereux
significatif pour les tunneliers.
Les tunneliers fonctionnant au-dessous du niveau du sol ne représentent pas un phénomène dangereux
significatif de CEM pour les machines fonctionnant à la surface.
Les éléments et applications suivants ne sont pas pris en compte par la présente Norme Européenne:
- les sas de transfert et équipements associés qui peuvent faire partie intégrante du tunnelier (voir
l’EN 12110:2002) et être utilisés dans des conditions de travail hyperbares ;
- les exigences complémentaires pour l’utilisation de tunneliers dans des conditions hyperbares ;
- les exigences complémentaires pour l’utilisation de tunneliers dans des atmosphères explosibles ;
NOTE Pour l’application dans des atmosphères explosibles, voir l’EN 1710 pour des lignes directrices.
- les accessoires et outils auxiliaires qui ne font pas partie intégrante du tunnelier mais sont utilisés sur ou
avec la machine ;

Stroji za gradnjo predorov - Varnostne zahteve

Standard EN 16191 se uporablja za stroje za gradnjo predorov, kot so opredeljeni v točki 3, ki se uporabljajo za gradnjo predorov, jaškov in druga podzemna izkopavanja. Obravnava vsa večja tveganja, nevarne situacije in dogodke v zvezi s takimi stroji, če se uporabljajo, kot je bilo predvideno, in pod pogoji nepravilne uporabe, ki jih je razumno predvidel proizvajalec (gl. točko 4). Ta evropski standard obravnava nadzorovanje za nevarne atmosfere v delovnem območju strojev za gradnjo predorov. Vibracije, ki dosegajo dlani/roke in celo telo, se ne štejejo za večje tveganje za stroje za gradnjo predorov. Ta evropski standard ne zajema naslednjih postavk in uporabe: – dodatne zahteve za uporabo strojev za gradnjo predorov v nizkotlačnih okoljih; – dodatne zahteve za uporabo strojev za gradnjo predorov v potencialno eksplozivnih atmosferah.

Introduction
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100-1:2003.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this document.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have
been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
In this European Standard it is assumed that:
 only competent persons operate the machine;
 components without specific requirements are:
 designed in accordance with the usual engineering practice and calculation codes, including all failure
modes;
 of sound mechanical and electrical construction according to the state of the art;
 made of materials with adequate strength and of suitable quality;
 made of no harmful materials, such as asbestos;
 components are kept in good repair and working order, so that the required characteristics remain despite wear;
 the installation allows a safe use of the machine;
 the user considers the special instructions and particular conditions given by the manufacturer to use the
machinery and equipment under particular conditions of use (e.g. ground conditions).

1 Scope
This European Standard is applicable to tunnelling machinery as defined in Clause 3 used for the construction of
tunnels, shafts and other underground excavations. It specifies the essential safety requirements for the design,
installation, maintenance, and information for use of such machinery.
This European Standard also covers reasonably foreseeable misuse of such machinery in that compliance with the
requirements of clause 5 mitigates the risk arising from such misuse.
This European Standard covers monitoring for hazardous atmospheres within the confines of the tunnelling
machinery.
As microtunnelling, thrust boring and auger boring machines do not expose persons to noise, noise is not a significant
hazard for such machines.
Hand-arm and whole-body vibration are not considered as significant hazard for tunnelling machinery.
Tunneling machinery operating below ground level does not present a significant EMC hazard to machinery operating
on the surface.
The following items and applications are not covered by this European Standard:
 air locks and associated equipment which can form an integral part of tunnelling machinery (see EN 12110:2002)
and used for hyperbaric working;
 the additional requirements for the use of tunnelling machinery under hyperbaric conditions;
 the additional requirements for use of tunnelling machinery in potentially explosive atmospheres
NOTE For the application in potentially explosive atmospheres see EN 1710 for guidance
 ancillary tools and equipment which are not an integral part of the tunnelling machinery but used on or with the
machinery;
 services (e.g. power supply, water, pipes, compressed air, etc.) supplied to the tunnelling machinery
 loading and transport equipment which is not an integral part of the tunnelling machinery, e.g. man riders,
locomotives, grout cars, segment cars, muck cars and shaft hoisting equipment;

This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to tunnelling
machinery when used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This European Standard is not applicable to tunnelling machinery which is manufactured before the date of
publication of this European Standard by CEN.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 12100-1:2003 and the
following apply.
3.1 tunnelling machinery
is the generic term for machines and equipment used in the excavation and construction of tunnels and shafts, as
described in 3.2 to 3.19
3.2 shield machine
steerable ground support structure within which tunnel excavation takes place by manual, mechanical or hydraulic
means. Erection of tunnel support may take place within the shield machine. The shield machine is propelled forward
by reaction onto the tunnel lining. See figure A 1.
Shield machines provide lateral and/or radial ground support. In addition they can provide various types of face
support and ground water control.

3.3 shielded tunnel boring machine
shield machine for full face excavation, having one or more rotating cutter heads in which the cutter head(s) may be
separated from the rest of the shield by a bulkhead. Passage of material through the bulkhead may be controlled.
Reaction forces caused by the excavation process are transferred into the tunnel lining. See figure A 2.
3.4 telescopic shield machine
shielded tunnel boring machine as defined in 3.3 equipped with a gripping system as described in 3.9
NOTE Telescopic shield machine is also known as a double shield machine.
3.5 unshielded tunnel boring machine
a machine for mechanical excavation using a rotating cutter head. The machine has no shield for ground support but
can have a shield for the protection of the cutter head. See figure A 3.
The torque and thrust reactions are resisted by anchoring the complete machinery against the ground by means of a
gripping system
3.6 reaming machine
an unshielded tunnel boring machine used to enlarge a pilot tunnel in one or more steps.
NOTE In most cases unshielded tunnel boring machinery work the full face of the tunnel. However, in some cases the tunnel
is driven in two or more phases, by starting with a pilot hole which is enlarged in one or more steps. This method is called reaming.
The machines used are in principle the same as an unshielded tunnel boring machine driving the whole tunnel area in one step
