Chenani-Nashri Tunnel in India- Tunnel support
by Una S. Website Marketing SpecialistChenani-Nashri Tunnel, in
Udhampur, India, is the longest road tunnel project in the country when opened
for traffic in 2016. This 9km-long tunnel was built at the foot of the
Himalayan mountains, connected the districts of Chenani and Nashri, and its
construction cost was 37.2 billion Indian rupees (723 million US dollars).
It is a part of the four-lane
widening of the National Highway 1A between Srinagar and Jammu. The tunnel has
acted as an alternative to the existing NH1A section, which faced safety
concerns, as it passed through steep mountain terrains. The two-line
bi-directional traffic tunnel is an all-weather and reliable road throughout
the year. It reduces the traveling distance from 41km to 10km.
Another 8.45km tunnel between
Quazigund and Banihal on the Jammu-Srinagar highway already completed
constructed as part of INR100billion ($2.2billion) road projects in Jammu and
Kashmir. It has run in the lower Himalayan mountain range to connect Chenani to
Nashri villages.
Construction uses a professional Tunneling technique method to excavate and
support. Hollow anchor bolt adopts different materials and processing methods
to adapt to all kinds of projects. It combines drilling, grouting and anchoring
together, which can bond hollow anchor bolt with surrounding stratum and
support the project tightly. Self-drilling anchor bolt support has become an
important form of tunnel construction support.
