About the boring of a tunnel to extend a metro line beyond its current terminus: "Pour réaliser les xx mètres de tunnels qui permettront de franchir le périphérique, la technique de pré découpage mécanique a été retenue. La machine XX a été assemblée sur site, au fond du puits de travail, après des opérations de levage très délicates. En mars, la première prévoute était réalisée.

I'd really need to know more. It appears to be the erection shaft or assembly shaft, as below.
The assembly shaft for the TBM was located in waterlogged ground adjacent to the Alexandria Canal. Bachy's engineers introduced an innovative slurry wall ...

In each case, the final shaft where the TBM completes its drive would be the original erection shaft of the succeeding tunnel contract. ...

But it could be the mucking out shaft, i.e. a shaft that serves both to erect the TBM and remove excavated material subsequently. From my notes:
puits de travail mucking-out shaft; working (or drive) shafts (in the case of pipe jacking) [TTI,4.2001,p.23]
At all events, it is likely to be the starter shaft, since the TBM is most likely to start its drive from the point where it is erected.

main shaft
This covers a multitude of uses. As this is an extension most of the other shafts will be unavailable so this 'main shaft' can serve both to supply the work in progress and remove debris.
