Title:
Abstract:	At this year's International Planning Design and Construction (IPDC) Workshop of the Unit of Project and Construction Management (i3b) of the University of Innsbruck, a selected group of tunnelling engineers took a closer look at the state of the art of hard rock tunnel boring machines and the challenges of tunnelling systems along the Brenner axis. The three currently active construction contracts using mechanized tunnelling technology at the Brenner Base Tunnel have an intersection of comparable geological/geotechnical conditions (quartz phyllite, schist, gneiss and granite) and yet different machine types were selected: a Gripper TBM for the Tulfes-Pfons exploration tunnel - H33, three Double Shield machines for the Mauls 2/3 contract and four Single Shield machines for contract H51. The focus of this workshop was accordingly: from geology/geotechnics to the key specifications of the TBM as a basis, followed by the consideration of the type-independent TBM parameters, the differences as well as advantages and disadvantages of the three machine types and finally an outlook into the future regarding further developments and need for innovation. This article summarizes the contents of the workshop. Beim diesjährigen International Planning Design and Construction (IPDC) Workshop des Arbeitsbereichs für Baubetrieb, Bauwirtschaft und Baumanagement (i3b) der Universität Innsbruck beschäftigte sich ein ausgewählter Kreis von Tunnelbauern mit dem Stand der Technik von Hartgesteinstunnelbohrmaschinen und den Herausforderungen der Vortriebssysteme entlang der Brennerachse. Die drei derzeit laufenden Baulose mit maschineller Vortriebstechnik am Brenner Basistunnel weisen eine Schnittmenge an vergleichbaren geologisch/geotechnischen Verhältnissen (Quarzphyllit, Schiefer, Gneis und Granit) auf, und trotzdem wurden jeweils unterschiedliche Maschinentypen gewählt: Eine Gripper-TBM für den Erkundungsstollen Tulfes-Pfons - H33, drei Doppelschildmaschinen für das Baulos Mauls 2/3 und vier Einfachschildmaschinen für die Vortriebe im H51. Daraus wurden die Schwerpunkte des Workshops abgeleitet: Der Weg von der Geologie/Geotechnik zu den Schlüsselspezifikationen der TBM, als Grundlage gefolgt von der Betrachtung der typenunabhängigen TBM-Parameter, den Unterschieden sowie Vor- und Nachteilen der drei Maschinentypen und abschließend einem Ausblick in die Zukunft hinsichtlich Weiterentwicklungen und Innovationsbedarf. Dieser Beitrag fasst die Inhalte des Workshops zusammen.
