The construction methods of overseas metro stations driven with the shield method were
introduced. Based on the fact thata single-line shield tunnelhas a diameterofabout6. 0m in China,
four construction schemes of ametro station driven from a sectional shield tunnelwith the expanding
excavationwere proposed. According to the main technical standards and construction dimensions of
Linhexilu station in the Guangzhou No. 3 metro line, the structures and construction schemes of this
stationwere designed. Finally, the main related technical problems to be resolved were discussed,
including construction steps, design method of station structure, design of special segmen,t
environment control and project cost.
