Overview

Exploratory work identifies over 100 l/s water ingress in carbonate rocks, indicating complex tunnelling challenges.

Key Points

  • Tunnelling faced over 100 l/s water ingress, complicating excavation and leading to planning modifications.
  • Two large-scale injection screens were installed with 97 and 75 boreholes each, addressing eroded rock instability.
  • Excavation was executed in 7 m stages, integrating 59 injection wells to minimize ground settlement at each step.
  • Multiple materials like Portland cement and polyurethane were used for injections, adapting to varying underground conditions.
