Project Description
The Haybat Sultan Tunnel is designed to cross the Haybat Sultan Mountain and create a new corridor between the Erbil – Koya Highway, at existing Koisanjaq – Suleymaniye Road and existing Raniyah – Dukan / Suleymaniye road.
This section applies to the execution of New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) in any type of rock. This section does not deal with specific topics of rock classification. Excavation may be carried out by drill and blast using pre-split or smooth blasting techniques or by road header or tunnel excavator.
The New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM) is based on the principle to take utmost advantage of the rock`s capacity to support itself, by careful measures and deliberate guidance of the forces during the readjustment process from the primary to the secondary state of stress, which takes place in the surrounding of the excavation. By this way, local progressive loosening will be limited by careful excavation methods and timely installation of the support elements and the rock mass will be able to support itself. The supports elements are shotcrete, wiremesh, rock bolts and steel ribs.
The application of the NATM requires deformation monitoring for the purpose of stability assessment and the verification of the sufficiency of the support elements installed. The deformation monitoring is accomplished by means of advanced surveying methods and special devices.
