Technical Brochure on Atal Tunnel Rohtang “An Engineering Marvel in Himalayas”

Technical Brochure on Atal Tunnel Rohtang “An Engineering Marvel in Himalayas” prepared based on experiences gained during the Planning and Construction of world’s longest highway tunnel above 10,000 feet by Border Roads Organisation. The young Himalayan Mountains with their complex geology and geotechnical conditions always hold surprises during tunnel construction. Careful and detailed geological investigations are required prior to and during the execution of the project which required involvement of all stakeholders i.e. Contractors, Engineers, Designers and Clients. Only combined efforts throughout all different project stages (Feasibility study, Design, Execution and Implementation) will provide the necessary flexibility of the construction process that allows instant and immediate reaction to changing geological and geotechnical conditions.
