3. WHAT IS TUNNEL?
• Tunnel is an underground passageway
• Passageway dug through surrounding soil , earth or rock
• Enclosed structure expect at entrance & exit
• Note : Pipeline is not considered as tunnel

4. TYPES OF TUNNEL
• Traffic tunnels
• Hydropower tunnels
• Public utility tunnels

10. UNDERGROUND SURVEYING
• Survey operations
 To be carried out beneath surface of the earth
• Used for
 Tunneling
 Exploration
 Constr in subterranean passageways
• Peculiarities of underground surveying
 Artificial Illumination reqd
 Working space – cramped
 For levelling instrument stations & benchmarks setting
 Drill holes in rock reqd
 Done by water dripping from the roof of passageways

11. SURVEY WORK IN TUNNELING
• Surface survey
• Transfer of underground alignment
• Levels in tunnels

12. LASER ALINGMENT
• Lasers installed in the tunnel
• Calibration to be carried out
• Generation of axis by laser spots
• Positioning of arches - as per str & soil condns

13. SOFTWARE FOR LASER SURVEY
• Talos – Motor laser system
• Software for tunnel proof hardware
• Uses basic surveying principles
• Talos – Used for stake out operations
 Adjust supporting girders
 Pipe umbrellas
 Easy profile check
 Data analysis

15. ALINGMENT BY GPR
• Geodetic measurements reqd
• Tunnel heading control reqd
• Surveying is an imp factor
• Provide positioning & directional specifications
• Grnd Penetrating Radar is use for this purpose

16. TAUROS FOR ROADHEADERS
• Machine – based controlled guided system
• Maint spatial position & orientation
• Developed by Sandvik & Geodata
• Robust camera measurement units installed
• Used on both single shield TBMs as well as double shield TBMs
• Ensures automatic calculation of the best fitting ring
• Optimum ring sequencing can be achieved
• Time saving
• Reduce risk of damages to the shield

17. APPLICATIONS OF UNDERGROUND SURVEYS
• Constr of tunnels
• Constr of underground utilities
• Why tunnel is constructed ?
 Open excavation becomes uneconomical when it is more than 20M
• Advantages
 Reduces the grade
 Shorten the distance
 Meets the demand of - modern rapid transit in a city
 Exact alignment
 Proper gradient
 Estb of permanent stations
 Marking of proposed route

18. SURFACE SURVEY
• Connect points of each portal of
a tunnel
• Determination of azimuth
• Distance calculation
• Calculation of difference in
elevation
• Survey based on local suitable
coordinate system
• Note Survey is based on suitable
local coordinate
• Ref point prominent landmark
• Central line – MKG done
• Offset MKG along the tunnels
edge

20. TRANSFER OF UNDERGROUND ALIGNMENT
• Excavation along the tunnel
alignment
• Insertion of shafts at intermediate
locations along the routes
• Vertical alignment done by -
 Plumb bob
 Optical collimator
 Laser

23. ADVANTAGES OF TUNNELING
• Economical when the depth is beyond limit
• Limited disturbance for surface life & ground activities
• High speed construction
• Low power consumption
• Reduces noise pollution
• Freedom from snow & iceberg hazards in areas of high altitudes
• Restricted surface & air interference
• Easy gradients reduces hauling cost
• Greater protection in aerial warfare & bombing conditions.

24. DISADVANTAGES OF TUNNELING
• Higher initial investment cost
• Skilled & experienced designers reqd
• Higher & const supervision reqd
• Highly sophisticated & specialized
eqpt reqd
