In the construction of subway tunnel, a connected aisle is often set in the middle section of the upper and lower parts of the tunnel. The connected aisle is set to increase the safety factor of the tunnel, known as the "escape route". Connected aisle construction is after the completion of the main tunnel and it would have impact on the main tunnel and the surrounding environment to a certain extent. Wastewater pumping house is often combined with connected aisle in construction, but the pumping house design is relatively conservative. Construction technology is constrained by space, so it is more likely to cause risks. Therefore, effective measures are crucial to ensure the safety of excavation. In this paper, the first support deformation risk of a connected aisle of Wuhan Metro tunnel is used as an example, which uses backfill backpressure, first support reinforcement methods and acceleration of the floor construction, providing reference of risk control techniques for similar projects.
