Tunnels

Corridor Study

The corridor study is the first critical step in tunnel development, identifying the optimal alignment for the tunnel route. Our team evaluates multiple factors such as terrain, environmental sensitivity, existing infrastructure, and geological conditions to select the most efficient and cost-effective corridor. The study ensures that the chosen alignment minimizes construction challenges and operational costs while adhering to regulatory and environmental requirements.

Geotechnical Studies

Geotechnical studies are essential for understanding the ground conditions along the tunnel route. Our comprehensive investigations analyze soil and rock properties, groundwater levels, and potential geological hazards. The data collected helps to design a stable tunnel structure, determine excavation methods, and identify necessary ground support measures to ensure the tunnel’s safety and longevity.

Hydrology and Hydrogeology Studies

Effective water management is vital for tunnel construction and long-term operation. Our hydrology and hydrogeology studies assess surface water, groundwater flow, and potential water ingress into the tunnel. We design drainage systems and waterproofing solutions to mitigate the risk of flooding or water damage, ensuring the tunnel remains structurally sound and environmentally compliant.

Plan and Profile Development

Plan and profile development is the detailed design stage where the tunnel’s horizontal and vertical alignments are refined. We create precise drawings that depict the tunnel’s route, depth, and gradient, taking into account the results of geotechnical and hydrological studies. This ensures the design is optimized for construction feasibility, safety, and long-term operational efficiency.
