The proponents propose three types of watercourse crossing techniques : open cut, isolated and [horizontal directional drilling]. Open-cut and isolated crossing techniques involve excavation and in-stream work. HDD crossings leave the bed and banks undisturbed and, therefore, avoid adverse impacts on aquatic habitat.  2, record 2, English, - horizontal%20directional%20drilling%20crossing

Criss-crossed all over the 37 mile long plain at Nazca are an assortment of geometrically straight lines, some running parallel, others crossing over and intersecting other lines. This outstanding geometric ground form remained undiscovered until the early 1930s when it was noticed by the first aerial flights over the area during aerial survey work to locate water sources.  2, record 3, English, - criss%2Dcrossed

Predicting surface settlements is one of the key tasks for engineers in building urban tunnels. This work analyzes the set of information gathered during the boring phase for the northern tunnel of the "Toulon underground crossing".... The article then focuses on : the northern tunnel site of the Toulon underground crossing, the two real-time prediction methods used to control tunnel construction from 1998 to 2000, and the conclusions drawn from the surface settlement analysis along the tunnel. The first set of conclusions from this study highlight the importance of the initial geomechanical state of the ground, which has been inherited from the tectonic history of the site. The tunnel crossing of the site has revealed these differences in initial state, which assume the form of a sequence of alternatively contracted and dilated zones, thereby producing uneven surface settlements.  2, record 4, English, - underground%20crossing
