Session: Buried Structures & Subsurface Systems

RESUMEN: El Túnel Emisor Oriente (TEO) será parte del sistema de drenaje de la Ciudad de México. Tendrá más de 62 km de longitud y profundidades de 32 a 148 m. En su desarrollo atravesará diversos tipos de suelo, la mayoría productos de depósitos en ambiente lacustre. El Túnel requiere la construcción de lumbreras de acceso con diámetros de 12 a 16 m. Este artículo describe la instrumentación geotécnica instalada en la lumbrera más profunda (L-20), así como los resultados de las primeras mediciones.
