Overview
The construction of the tunnel under the English Channel from France to the Great Britain
began in December 1987. The first connection of the boring tunnels from each country was
achieved in November 1990. The tunnel is 23.5 miles long and bored 200 feet below sea
level. Costing $14 billion, it was completed in 1992 making it possible for a train to travel
from London to Paris in three hours.
The machine operated from both ends of the channel, bored towards the
middle. To link up
accurately in the middle of the channel, a laser guidance system kept the machines
precisely
aligned. A model of the boring machine control is shown in the figure, where Y(s) is the
actual angle of direction of travel of the boring machine and R(s) is the desired
angle. The
effect of load on the machine is represented by the disturbance, Td(s).
