隧道全长14.25千米，设有竖井3座。其中2号竖井地处太仓市浮桥镇，是"领航号"盾构机接收与再始发 的核心要地，距离长江南岸大堤200米，为临江漫滩超深富水、预制装配式圆形竖井，直径24.0米，掘 进深度56.08米。该竖井地质环境复杂，施工难度大，安全风险高，极易引发透水、涌水涌沙等风险。 项目团队大胆创新，首次采用水下全自动机械式竖井掘进机（VSM）——崇太长江隧道"启明号"进行 施工。该掘进机开挖直径24米，主机高约13米，最大开挖深度75米，承受水压8ber，是我国自主研制的 世界最大直径竖井掘进机。它成功解决超深富水复合地层中"看不见、摸不着、测不准、控不住"等技术 难题，推动超深竖井施工从传统模式向"井下无人化、井上少人化"的智能建造模式跨越式升级，开创了 高铁竖井掘进机施工新纪元。 太长江隧道2号竖井建设 采访对象 提供 本报讯（记者 金志刚）日前，在郑和万里远航的起锚地江苏太仓，我国自主研制的世界最大直径竖井 掘进机"启明号"正式始发，投入崇太长江隧道2号竖井建设，开创了我国高速铁路竖井采用掘进机施工 的新纪元。 崇太长江隧道是国家"两重"项目沪渝蓉高铁沪宁段的关键控制性咽喉工程，连接上海市崇 ...

据了解，"启明号"由中铁隧道局与中铁装备联合研制，开挖直径24米，主机高约13米，最大开挖深 度达150米，搭载五大核心智能技术，具备自主下沉、导向、环控等多项能力，可实现"有人值守、无人 操作"的智能掘进与衬砌同步拼装，破解了超深富水地层的施工难题。 目前，从上海崇明始发的"领航号"盾构机已掘进超万米，距2号竖井仅剩约850米。2号竖井作为"领 航号"接收与再始发的核心要地，其顺利推进将避免盾构机停机等待。该竖井计划今年1月底完成掘进任 务，隧道预计2029年下半年具备通车条件。 崇太长江隧道建成后将首次实现高铁过江不减速，结束崇明岛不通高铁的历史，大幅缩短上海与江 苏的时空距离，对打造"轨道上的长三角"、服务长江经济带和长三角一体化高质量发展具有重要意义。 昨天（1月13日），我国自主研制的世界最大直径竖井掘进机"启明号"在江苏太仓正式始发，投入 崇太长江隧道2号竖井建设，开创了我国高速铁路竖井采用掘进机施工的新纪元。 崇太长江隧道是国家"两重"（国家重大战略实施和重点领域安全能力建设）项目沪渝蓉高铁沪宁段 的关键控制性工程，连接上海崇明与太仓，全长14.25公里，设计时速350公里，是目前我国建设标准最 ...
