Construction Approch of Longest Railway Tunnel of India
Infra work like tunnels, highways, metro and airport work is exponentially growing in India. One Highway Tunnel (T-80) is developed in Pir Panjal area between Jammu & Kashmir province of J&K(Union Territory) country India, constructed by IRCON in Udhampur-Baramulla-Srinagar-Rail Link Project. This Tunnel is 11 km long and is India’s longest transportation Tunnel. The Tunnel has been constructed by New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM). There were various challenges faced during tunneling in execution, blasting, geotechnical investigation, supports design etc. Collecting geotechnical data was a difficult task, which is backbone of any underground excavation works anyhow with instrumentation and good dedicated team of authors, detailed study was done and to know how the work done, this literature is written.
The purpose of this paper to present various steps and methods which have been followed for construction of Tunnel including selection of tunnel cross section, geology and geotechnical investigations, method of rock mass classification, instrumentation and monitoring etc. This NATM Method of Tunnel construction has been developed by Austrian Engineers based in underground experience gained over the years in Alps. The geological and topographical conditions in Alps and Himalayas mountains are mostly same. This tunnel has been completed with in time schedule of its construction period. Construction of Udhampur-Srinagar- Baramulla Broad Gauge Railway Line was undertaken by Indian Railways Construction Organization (IRCON) to establish a dependable means of transportation in the state of Jammu & Kashmir and to connect it with rest of India., to have all-weather route to Kashmir valley. This railway line is passing through Pir Panjal mountain range of Himalayas to reach Kashmir valley and this job has been complished by constructing a railway Tunnel known as Pir-Panjal (T-80) Tunnel. This Pir-Panjal Tunnel is longest transportation Tunnel in India & second largest in Asia having mined length of about 11 km (10,960 km).
