Tunnelling plays a vital role in addressing the challenges of space constraints and infrastructure demands in densely developed regions. It enables the creation of efficient transportation networks, utility systems, and storage solutions, reducing surface-level congestion and preserving valuable land for other purposes.

This video highlights the risks of tunnelling in poor ground conditions. This underscores the critical need for thorough ground investigations prior to construction stage and probing ahead of tunnel during the construction. The construction method should be adopted based on the geological conditions and risk and proactive ground stabilisation measures should be used where required. Tunnelling is essential for development, but its associated risks must be thoroughly understood, and mitigation mea

Instability and tunnel collapse are significant concerns in conventional tunnelling, where the stability of the surrounding ground is critical to maintaining the tunnel's structural integrity. Tunnel collapses can occur due to a variety of reasons, including geological factors such as the presence of weak or fractured rock, high in-situ stress levels, or the existence of water-bearing strata that can lead to increased pressure and erosion. Additionally, inadequate support systems, poor design, o
