having 365mlong adit tunnel. Tunnel work was
investigatedby Geophysicaland, Geotechnicalinvestigation,
Basedon geologicalinvestigationfeasibility report and DPR
was prepared. Tunnel was designed in house. Preparationof
estimate, BOQ, and costestimate was carried out
departmentally. Alignment was controlled by total station
and GPS. Tunnel was constructedby drilling and control
blasting using designedDrilling pattern, Tunnel was
supported by steelrib supports, rock bolting and shotcreting
. Rock bolts were tested by pull out and torque testing,
Tunnel lining using movable collapsible shuttering, surface
vibrators and pumped concrete Tunnel passedthrough most
difficult geologicalcondition of rock having alternate bands
of quartzite and quartzitic mica schist. Provision of
necessary lighting, dewatering and ventilation as per
standard codalrequirement was observed.Tunnel was
executedobserving all safetystandards. Tunnel costed Rs.65
Crores.
