This is not cut and cover. Cut and cover is when you "cut" an excavation from the ground surface down and then "cover" it back up with dirt after constructing the structure you want below ground. You have linked to an article on NATM, which is a conventional (read: non-TBM) tunneling method.

I see; you are competely right, I am not really familiar with the the technical terms and messed up with just literally translating "cut and cover".

Cut and cover often is cover than dig - there are a lot of options
