SOME OTHER IMPORTANT ASPECTS - TUNNELING
VENTILATION DURING CONSTRUCTION
The one common and important feature of underground works is provision of adequate ventilation. The main aim of ventilation is:
To provide sufficient air for tunnel crew to breathe . Supply of air must be ample to dilute any noxious fumes or gases . On blast smoke at heading face can be cleared quickly if ventilation system is adequate and crew can re enter tunnel after 5 to 10 minutes
Air requirements:
4.25 cum/minute/person as BREATHING REQUIREMENTS
2.0 cum/minute per Diesel HP - Dilution of noxious gases fumes
Leakage in duct @ 6.0 cum/minute per 100 m length |

VENTILATION OF TUNNELS
Having worked out the ventilation requirement s , the ventilation fans are provided at portal location of tunnels some 20 to 30 m away outside so that smoke/gases/ fumes are not sucked back.
These fans are mostly imported for 1000mm and 1500 mm ducting, higher size for longer tunnels. |

FACILITIES DURING TUNNEL EXCAVATION
VENTILATION - Duct provided at crown of roof arch ,1m to 1.5m dia.
WATER LINE 50mm dia.
WASTE WATER LINE 100 mm dia.
AIR LINE
LIGHTING at regular intervals
Nitches are provided at certain interval for overtaking of trucks/boomers /loaders
Once tunnel is through, it is self ventilated as movement of air natural.
Construction Adits after construction are provided with steel gates ,
to arrest entry of wild animals .
Access Tunnels are provided with round the clock Security . |

HYDRO POWER - A MULTI - DISCIPLINARY FIELD
From discussions on Hydro power , it can be easily said that mostly all disciplines of CIVIL ENGINEERING are involved and working of experts of these field together as a team result in successful - Timely completion of Such Mega Projects.
DESIGN OFFICE
Design office requires experts of Structural Design , Hydraulic & Hydrological Design, Geologist , Construction experts sitting at design office as also visiting sites periodically, Geo-tech engineers expert on rock mechanics , Experienced engineers engaged in reports preparation viz PFBR, PFR, DPR, OPR(Overall planning report) , Surveyors , Hydro- mechanical design experts, Electrical design experts, Electro-mechanical design expert , Cad operator s,
All these experts are assisted by junior cadres .
Progress monitoring cell comprise of group headed by experience expert , also proving PERT , Bar chart , Estimates , various day to day reports.
All have to visit to enhance the horizon of knowledge. |

HYDROPOWER - HEAD WORKS - DAMS & BARRAGES
SO far, discussions were focused on water conductor system , Power house complex and Tail works.
Head works are further specialised field and experts on these structures are mostly spent their entire career mastering these structures.
The effect of Dam submergence on upstream areas, villages in hilly and lower reaches, suitability of dam sites in view of bed rock types, upstream and downstream side rock , environment impact,
And many more issues . |
