then their cost will be considered as NIL but the consultant shall however be required to
carry out such obligations without any compensation. In case, if BRO feels that the work
cannot be carried out within overall cost of financial proposal, the proposal can be
rejected. The BRO shall correct any computational errors and correct prices in various
currencies to the single currency specified in Data Sheet. The evaluation shall exclude
those taxes (including GST), duties, fees, levies and other charges imposed under the
applicable law applied to foreign components/ resident consultants.
5.3.3 The procedure as mentioned at Clauses 5.3.4, 5.4 and, 5.5 as mentioned below shall be
followed for determining the “most preferred bidder (H-1 bidder)” for this package.
5.3.4 The lowest financial proposal (FM) will be given a financial score (SF) of 100 points.
The financial scores of other proposals will be computed as follows:
SF = 100 x FM/F
(SF = Financial Score, FM= Amount of lowest bid, F= Amount of financial proposal
converted in the common currency)

5.4 Combined evaluation of Technical and Financial Proposals. Proposals will finally be
ranked according to their combined technical (ST) and Financial (SF) scores using the
weights indicated in the Data Sheet:
S= STxT + SFxf
Where,
S = Combined Score,
ST = Technical Score out of 100
SF = Financial Score out of 100
T and f are values of weightage for technical and financial proposals respectively as
given in the Data Sheet.
5.5 For a package, a Consultant with a “particular Team” having the maximum Combined
score (S) shall be declared as the most preferred bidder (H-1).

with “a Particular Team” either as sole or as in JV/Association shall be limited to one
package only. At first, Consultants who become H-1 in one package each shall be
assigned the respective package. Then packages in which a Consultant with “a Particular
Team” turns out to be the most preferred bidder (H-1) in more than one package shall be
considered. In case, a Consultant with “a Particular Team” turns out to be the most
preferred bidder (H-1) in more than one package, the package which is to be awarded to this
team of a consultant shall be determined on the basis of least cost to Director General
Border Roads considering the Financial Quote of H-1 bidder and H-2 Bidder limited to
those packages. Procedure to be followed for awarding work based on QCBS including
assessment of least cost to BRO under special circumstances i.e. When a Consultant with “a
Particular Team” turns out to be the most preferred bidder (H-1) in more than one package is

5%
(ii) for total replacement between 33% to 50%, remuneration shall be reduced by 10%
(iii) for total replacement beyond 50% and 66% remuneration shall be reduced by 15%
(iv) for total replacement beyond 66% of the total key personnel, the Client may initiate
action for debarment of such consultant for future projects of BRO for a period of 6
months to 24 months. If for any reason beyond the reasonable control of the
consultants, it becomes necessary to replace any of the personnel, the consultants
shall forthwith provide as a replacement a person of equivalent or better
qualification and experience.
6.7 The negotiations will be concluded with a review of the draft Contract Agreement
attached at Appendix-V. The Client and the Consultants will finalize the contract to

APPENDIX I
TERMS OF REFERENCE (TOR) FOR CONSULTANCY SERVICES FOR “ENGAGING

TECHNICAL CONSULTANT FOR PREPARATION OF FEASIBILITY STUDY (FS) AND
DETAILED PROJECT REPORT (DPR) FOR CONSTRUCTION OF HIGHWAY TUNNEL
INCLUDING APPROACH ROAD ACROSS CHATTERGALA PASS, APPROXIMATELY IN
BETWEEN KM 114.00 AND KM 151.00 ON BASOLI-BANI-BHADERWAH ROAD THROUGH
EPC MODE UNDER PROJECT BEACON IN J & K STATE”.

Terms of Reference for Consultancy Services (TOR)
1. General
1.1 The Director General Border Roads has been entrusted with the assignment of “Engaging
Technical Consultant for preparation of Feasibility Study (FS) and Detailed Project Report
(DPR) for construction of Highway Tunnel including Approach Road across Chattergala Pass,
approximately in between Km 114.00 and Km 151.00 on Basoli-Bani-Bhaderwah road through
EPC Mode under Project Beacon in J & K State”. The Director General Border Roads now
invites proposal from Technical consultants for carrying out detailed project report as per details
given in Annexure-1.
1.2 CE (P) Beacon will be the employer and executing agency for the consultancy services
and the standards of output required from the appointed consultants are of international
level both in terms of quality and adherence to the agreed time schedule.
1.3 The Selected Consultancy firm shall prepare and submit Detailed Project Report (DPR)
for the Tunnel along with Approach Road separately.
2. Objective
2.1 The main objective of the consultancy service is to prepare detailed project report for
Construction of Tunnel along with the approach Roads, with a aim to construct/provide all
weather roads across Chattergala Pass. The approach roads would be of 4/2-lane plus
paved shoulders configuration based on the approved tunnel alignment & configuration.
The above said project site locations are Avalanche and landslide prone and Hence,
Avalanche Protection works and slope stabilization measures are required to be provided
to make it all weather road. The consultants are required to undertake detailed study in this
regard in consultation with Snow and Avalanche Study Establishment (SASE) and other
Authorities working in the region. The selected Consultant is required to establish the
technical, economical, and financial viability of the project and prepare Detailed Project
Report for development and construction of Project Tunnel and their approach roads.
2.2 The viability of the project shall be established taking into account the requirements with
regard to construction of project tunnel as per Annexure-I based on Tunnel alignment &
design, approach roads highway pavement design, avalanche protection measures,
provision of service roads wherever necessary, type of intersections, rehabilitation and
widening of existing and/or construction of new bridges and structures, Tunnel/road safety
features, quantities of various items of works, cost estimates alongwith economic analysis.
2.3 The preparation of Detailed Project Reports would inter-alia include

(a). Information Study and Conceptual Planning.
(b). Site Reconnaissance and Surveys.
(c). Alignment Finalisation, Geometric Requirements and Constructability.
(d). Subsurface Investigations
(e) Seismicity study and Design.
(f). Environmental Studies.
(g). Geospatial Data Management
(h). Geotechnical Reports

Planning for a road tunnel requires multi-disciplinary involvement and assessments, and
generally adopt the same standards as for surface roads and bridge options, with some
exceptions. Certain considerations, such as lighting, ventilation, life safety, operation and
maintenance, etc must be addressed specifically. In addition to the capital construction
cost, a life cycle cost analysis should be performed taking into account the life expectancy
of 120 years for a tunnel.
2.4 The DPR consultant should ensure detailed project preparation incorporating aspects of
value engineering, quality audit and safety audit requirement in design and
implementation. The DPR Consultant should give a certificate in the DPR that they have
addressed the safety related concern with inputs from the road safety expert (to be named).
2.5 The consultant should, along with Feasibility Report, clearly bring out through financial
analysis the preferred mode of implementation on which the Tunnel Construction Works
along with approaches are to be taken up. The consultant should also give cost estimates
along with Feasibility Report/ Detailed Project Report.
2.6 If at feasibility stage, employer desire to terminate the contract, the contract will be
terminated after payment up to that stage.
3. Scope of Services for Tunnel
3.1 The early investigations for planning and feasibility studies can be confined to information
studies and preliminary reconnaissance. Geological mapping and minimum subsurface
investigations are typically required for EIS, alternative studies and conceptual design. EIS
studies may also include limited topographical and environmental investigations to
identify potential “fatal flaws” that might stop the project at a later date. A substantial
portion of the geotechnical investigation effort should go into the Preliminary Design
Phase to refine the tunnel alignment and profile once the general corridor is selected, and
to provide the detailed information needed for design. As the final design progresses,
additional test borings might be required for fuller coverage of the final alignment and for
selected shaft and portal locations. Lastly, depending on the tunneling method selected,
additional investigations may be required to confirm design assumptions, or to provide
information for contractor design of temporary works. Figure 3-2 illustrates the flow
process of the phases of investigations.
3.2 Deleted
3.3 INFORMATION STUDY & CONCEPTUAL PLANNING
3.3.1 The first phase of an planning & investigation program for a road tunnel project starts with
collection and review of available information to develop an overall understanding of the
site conditions and constraints to identify existing conditions and features that may impact
the design and construction of the proposed tunnel, and can guide in planning the scope
and details of the subsurface investigation program. Published topographical,
hydrological, geological, geotechnical, environmental, zoning, and other information must
be collected, organized and evaluated. Historical seismic records, records of Avalanches &
landslides caused by earthquakes, documented by SASE and other Government Agencies
be analyzed to avoid locating tunnel portals and shafts at these potentially unstable areas.

3.3.2 TOPOGRAPHICAL DATA

Topographic maps and aerial photographs useful in showing terrain and geologic features (i.e.,
faults, drainage channels, sinkholes, etc.) when overlapped with published geological maps can
often, by interpretation, show geologic structures. Aerial photographs taken on different dates can
be used to reveal the site history in terms of Avalanches, erosion and scouring, past construction,
etc. Survey of India‟s topographic maps may be used for preliminary route selection and defining
the Project Corridor Influence Area. However, after the project corridor has been defined, new
aerial photography should be obtained and photogrammetric maps should be prepared to facilitate
portal and shaft design, site access, right-of-way, drainage, depth of cover, geologic interpretation
and other studies.
3.4 SITE RECONNAISSANCE AND SURVEYS
3.4.1 Site Reconnaissance and Preliminary Surveys

Available contour maps published by Survey of India or online available contour mapping are
sufficient only for initial planning purposes. A preliminary survey will be needed for concept
development and preliminary design to expand existing topographical data and include data from
field surveys and an initial site reconnaissance. Initial on-site studies should start with a careful
reconnaissance over the tunnel alignment, paying particular attention to the potential portal and
shaft locations. Features identified on maps and air photos should be verified. Rock outcrops,
often exposed along the existing highway and other locations, provide a source for information
about rock mass fracturing and bedding and the location of rock type boundaries, faults, dikes,
and other geologic features. Features identified during the site reconnaissance should be
photographed, documented and if feasible located by hand-held GPS equipment.
The reconnaissance should cover the immediate project vicinity, as well as a larger regional area
so that regional geologic, hydrologic and seismic influences can be accounted for. A preliminary
horizontal and vertical control survey may be required to obtain general site data for route
selection and for design.
3.4.1.1 Processing method

Processing of GPS data shall start immediately after completion of the survey. The DGPS
systems are to be used for time stamping and positioning.
The raw data processing consists of:

Import of the raw voltage with navigation data and automatic conversion to the local
UTM coordinate system;
Removal of tree top reflections from the altitude data;
Editing outliers and areas with poor signal to noise level;
Couplings due to man-made structures are removed and checked manually.
The inversion procedure shall consist of:

A preliminary inversion using smooth models and Laterally Constrained Inversion (LCI)
methodology. Noisy data, which have not been culled during data processing and which
cannot be fitted are removed ; An intermediate and a final inversion using a 3D model or SCI
preferably with (usually) a discrete number of layers.

The inversion results can be visualized in several ways. One way involves creating maps over the
investigation area that depict mean resistivity in a certain depth or elevation interval. If viewed
successively, these slices show how resistivity changes with depth in the investigation area.
Resistivity-depth sections shall also be extracted from the inverted data along profiles.
Ultimately, individual resistivities can be interpreted as different geological units (i.e. bedrock
topography). Conductive areas can be distinguished from less conductive areas. Additional
geological or geophysical surface data required for reliable interpretation must be obtained.
3.4.1.2 Interpretation and Extraction of Geological Models
The maps and vertical sections shall be interpreted by a team of geophysicist/geologist, geologists
and geotechnicians. Correlation between the resistivity models and borehole logs can provide
potential extend of weakness zones. Requirements and Positions for further subsurface
investigations with „Vertical and Inclined Coring‟ and „Horizontal and Directional Coring‟ shall
be recommended based on report given by the team.
As a result of the interpretation, based on a better understanding of the resistivity response

to the regional geological setting, geophysicists/geologist shall extract meaningful geological
units from the resistivity models. These resistivity 3D models shall be translated into usable
geological models in a format that is the most efficient, potentially in 3D.
3.5 ALIGNMENT FINALISATION, GEOMETRIC REQUIREMENTS AND

CONSTRUCTIBILTY
3.5.1 Finalisation of Alignment and Portal Locations
Based on geological models developed, the Consultant shall suggest the most viable, economical
alignment after carrying out Risk Assessment.
3.5.2 Topographic data compilation
After finalisation of Alignment and Portal location, detailed topographic maps, plans and
profiles must be developed to establish primary control for final design and construction based on
a high order horizontal and vertical control field survey. As on a road tunnel system, centerline of
the roadway and centerline of tunnel may not identical because of clearance requirements for
walkways and emergency passages, A tunnel centerline developed during design should be
composed of tangent, circular, and transition spiral sections that approximate the complex
theoretical tunnel centerline within a specified tolerance. This centerline should be incorporated
into the drawings of the tunnel, and all tunnel control should be based on this centerline.
Topographical survey and mapping, structural and stratographical maps, Isopak maps,
preparation of cross sections. (Quantum of Survey shall be as per relevant Indian standard (IS
Code) or international Code (S) for high way Tunnels)
Ground marking of alignment and report on tentative tunnel alignment, section, grade,
portal positions and finding altitude and grid reference of the portal
3.5.3 Geometric Design and Constructability Cross Section

3.5.3.1 A road tunnel cross section must be able to accommodate the horizontal and vertical
traffic clearances, as well as the other required elements. The typical cross section elements
include:
• Travel lanes
• Shoulders
• Sidewalks/Curbs
• Tunnel drainage
• Tunnel ventilation
• Tunnel lighting
• Tunnel utilities and power
• Water supply pipes for firefighting
• Cabinets for hose reels and fire extinguishers
• Signals and signs above roadway lanes
• CCTV surveillance cameras
• Emergency telephones
• Communication antennae/equipment
• Monitoring equipment of noxious emissions and visibility
Life Safety
Emergency egress illuminated signs at low level (so that they are visible in case of a fire or
smoke condition)
Additional elements conforming to IRC SP 91and other standards may also be needed under
certain design requirements and should be taken into consideration when developing the tunnel
geometrical configuration.
3.5.3.2 HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL ALIGNMENTS

Planning and design of road tunnel alignments must consider Maximum grade, horizontal and
vertical curves, and other requirement/constraints for road tunnel
3.5.3.3 MAXIMUM GRADES

Road tunnel grades should be evaluated on the basis of driver comfort while striving to reach a
point of economic balance between construction costs and operating and maintenance expenses.
Maximum effective grades in main roadway tunnels preferably should not exceed 3% as per IRC
SP-91.
3.5.3.4 HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL CURVES

Horizontal and vertical curves shall satisfy IRC‟s geometrical requirements. The horizontal
alignment for a road tunnel should be as short as practical and maintain as much of the tunnel
length on tangent as possible, which will limit the numbers of curves, minimize the length and
improve operating efficiency. When horizontal curves are needed, the minimum acceptable
horizontal radii should consider traffic speed, sight distances, and the super-elevation provided.
3.5.3.5 SIGHT AND BRAKING DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS

Sight and braking distance requirements cannot be relaxed in tunnels. When designing a tunnel
with extreme curvature, sight distance should be carefully examined; otherwise it may result in
limited stopping sight distance.
3.5.3.6 TUNNEL CONFIGURATION

Based on the traffic studies and safety requirement, the consultant shall suggest the Tunnel
Configuration including cross section of main and egress tunnel as applicable.

3.5.3.7 TRAVEL CLEARANCE PROFILE (TCP)
Clearance profile of all potential vehicles traversing the tunnel shall be established using dynamic
vehicle envelopes which consider not just the maximum allowable static envelope, but also other
dynamic factors such as bouncing, suspension failure, overhang on curves, lateral motion,
resurfacing, etc. The clearance profile should take into consideration potential future vehicle
heights, vehicle mounting on curbs, construction tolerances, and any potential ground and
structure settlement. Ventilation equipment, lighting, guide signs, and other equipment should not
encroach within the clearance profile. Vertical clearance should be selected as per IRC‟s
recommendations. The vertical clearance shall also take into consideration for future resurfacing
of the roadway once. Consideration should also be given for potential truck mounting on the
barrier in the tunnel or on low sidewalk and measures shall be used to prevent such mounting
from damaging the tunnel ceiling or tunnel system components mounted on the ceiling or the
walls.
3.6 SUB-SURFACE INVESTIGATION
Subsurface investigation is the most important type of investigations to obtain ground conditions,
as it is the principal means for:
• Defining the subsurface profile (i.e. stratigraphy, structure, and principal soil and rock types)
• Determining soil and rock material properties and mass characteristics;
• Identify geological anomalies, fault zones and other hazards (squeezing soils, methane gas, etc.)
• Defining hydrogeological conditions (groundwater levels, aquifers, hydrostatic pressures, etc.);
and
• Identifying potential construction risks.
Subsurface investigations will involve borings, sampling, in situ testing, geophysical
investigations, and laboratory material testing. These investigations shall provide factual
information about the distribution and engineering characteristics of soil, rock and groundwater at
a site, allowing an economical design, determining a reliable construction cost estimate, and
reducing the risks of construction.
Induction of a complete drilling equipment and complete set of accessories including water pumps
etc. required for the job at the tunnel site (bore hole location) in good serviceable condition for the
first time and induction of directional coring equipment in any length along the proposed
directional coring trajectory including its de-induction after completion of all works.

Shifting of a complete drilling equipment and complete set of accessories including water pumps
etc. required for the job from one bore hole location to the other at proposed tunnel site
Notes:
1. Core recovery in bed rock portions shall not be less than 80% for hard rock in general.
However the percentage of core-recovery may vary with the type of rock encountered for which
the minimum percent recovery will be guided by relevant code provisions. Drilling activity to
includes the followings:-
a) Boring holes and carrying out all relevant tests for ascertaining rock properties. This includes
geological logging, electrical logging, geothermal logging and Geohydrological logging of bore
holes.
b) Determination of in situ stress field by over coring methods or any other techniques available
such as hydro-fracture technique.
c) Water percolation tests are to be conducted in the hole at ground level, at every six metre
depth intervals, at proposed tunnel grade level and at the junction of different lithological strata at
three different pressures as per relevant IS Codes.
d) Any deviation of holes from verticality is to be actually measured accurately and reflected.
2 (a) Bore hole locations and their depths are indicated as guide lines only. Final locations, their
dimensions, choice of field tests and their interval, choice of drilling equipment, establishing the
correct procedure for drilling, sampling and field tests including any additional holes are to be
suitably modified with approval of department.
2(b) The report is to bring out clearly the technical and other problems that may be encountered
during the construction and maintenance of the tunnel and also clear recommendations regarding
the feasibility of the tunnel in the prevailing conditions. Final portal locations, tunnel sections and
geometrics to be defined in this report.
2 (c) Preliminary indications of cost of the tunnel project and the time involved for the
construction to be indicated. In short, report should be self explanatory to enable the department
to take a decision regarding feasibility of the tunnel, expertise available within the country for
construction and preliminary costs for purposes of getting Administrative Approval for the works.
This report should also bring out other detailed studies involved at pre-construction stage,
construction stage and post construction stage.
3.6.1 VERTICAL AND INCLINED TEST BORINGS
Vertical and inclined test borings and soil/rock sampling are key elements of any
subsurface investigations for underground projects. The location, depth, sample types and
sampling intervals for each test boring must be finalised based on geological models developed.
In general, borings should be extended to at least 1.5 tunnel diameters below the proposed tunnel
invert. However, if there is uncertainty regarding the final profile of the tunnel, the borings should
extend at least two or three times the tunnel diameter below the preliminary tunnel invert level.

Drilling vertical holes (core drilling) one at each portal sites & at distances as laid down in
IRC:SP:91 between portal measured along the proposed tunnel alignment from any portal end
down to the tunnel grade (preferably at or near the junction of different lithological strata) which
may involved diamond drilling using NX-Bits to the extent of 400 metres for an individual hole.
Additional holes if required in this area shall be undertaken by BX- Bits, if unavoidable, will be
resorted to only with prior approval of the department.
Drilling 04 vertical boreholes of approx 400 m depth up to tunnel grade along the
alignment at suitable locations and Drilling four (4) Inclined holes (core drilling)at an angle of 30
degrees (Approx) with vertical , one at 50 mtr distance& another at 100 mtr distance from each
portal sites measured along the proposed Tunnel alignment or as required, down to the tunnel
grade as specified in IRC:SP:91 which may involve diamond drilling using NX-Bits to the extent
of 400 meters for an individual hole. The inclined drill holes must intersect the proposed tunnels
cross section at tunnel grade level (IRC:SP:91) .Additional holes if required in this area shall be
under taken . BX- Bits, if unavoidable, will be resorted to only with prior approval of the
department.
3.6.2 HORIZONTAL AND DIRECTIONAL CORING
Horizontal boreholes along tunnel alignments provide a continuous record of ground conditions
and information which is directly relevant to the tunnel alignment. The location, length and
sample types along the tunnel alignment must be finalised based on geological models developed.
3.6.3 SAMPLING – ROCK CORE
In rock, continuous rock core should be obtained below the surface of rock. Double and triple
tube core barrels should be used to obtain higher quality core more representative of the in situ
rock. For deeper holes, coring should be performed with the use of wire-line drilling equipment to
further reduce potential degradation of the recovered core samples. Boring shall be carried out
using at least Nx size coring bits. Core runs should be limited to a maximum length of 3 M in
moderate to good quality rock, and 2 M in poor quality rock. The rock should be logged soon
after it was extracted from the core barrel. Following information is to be noted for each core run
on the rock coring logs:
• Depth of core run

• Core recovery in length and percent
• Rock Quality Designation (RQD) percent
• Rock type, including color texture, degree of weathering and hardness
• Character of discontinuities, joint spacing, orientation, roughness and alteration
• Nature of joint infilling materials.
In addition, drilling parameters, such as type of drilling equipment, core barrel and casing size,
drilling rate, and groundwater level logged in the field shall also be recorded. Acoustic bore hole
televiewers will be used while drilling.

3.6.4 BOREHOLE SEALING

All borings should be properly sealed at the completion of the field exploration, if not intended to
be used as monitoring wells. This is typically required for safety considerations and to prevent
cross contamination of soil strata and groundwater.
3.6.5 TEST PITS

Test pits are to be excavated to investigate the shallow presence, location and depth of existing
utilities, structure foundations, top of bedrock and other underground features that may interfere
or be impacted by the construction of shafts, portals and tunnels. The excavation pits are to be
backfilled with excavation spoil, and the backfill is compacted to avoid excessive future
settlement. Tampers and rollers may be used to facilitate compaction of the backfill.
3.6.6 SOIL AND ROCK IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION
3.6.6.1 SOIL IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION

Distinguish between visual identification and classification is important to minimize
conflicts between general visual identification of soil samples in the field versus a more precise
laboratory evaluation supported by index tests. The field classification of soil for a tunnel project
shall be similar to that for other geotechnical applications except that special attention must be
given to accurately defining and documenting soil grain size characteristics and stratification
features since these properties may have greater influence on the ground and groundwater
behavior during tunneling than they may have on other types of construction, such as for
foundations, embankments and cuts.
Items of particular importance to tunnel projects which greatly influence ground behaviour
and groundwater inflow during construction, and the selection of the tunneling equipment and
methods are listed below:
• Groundwater levels (general and perched levels), ground permeability (loss of drilling fluid;
rise or drop in borehole water level; etc.), and artesian conditions
• Consistency and strength of cohesive soils
• Composition, gradation and density of cohesionless soils
• Presence of lenses and layers of higher permeability soils
• Presence of gravel, cobbles and boulders, and potential for nested boulders
• Maximum cobble/boulder size from coring and/or large diameter borings (and also based
on understanding of local geology), and the unconfined compressive strength of
cobbles/boulders (from field index tests and laboratory testing of recovered samples)
• Presence of cemented soils
• Presence of contaminated soil or groundwater.

3.6.6.2 ROCK IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION

In rock, rock mass characteristics and discontinuities typically have a much greater
influence on ground behavior during tunneling and on tunnel loading than the intact rock
properties. Therefore, rock classification needs to be focused on rock mass characteristics,
as well as its origin and intact properties. Special intact properties are important for
tunneling application particularly for selecting rock cutters for tunnel boring machines and
other types of rock excavators, and to predict cutter wear. Typical items included in
describing general rock lithology include:
• General rock type
• Color
• Grain size and shape
• Texture (stratification, foliation, etc.)
• Mineral composition
• Hardness
• Abrasivity
• Strength
• Weathering and alteration.
Rock discontinuity descriptions to be noted in rock classification include:

• Predominant joint sets (with strike and dip orientations)
• Joint roughness
• Joint persistence
• Joint spacing
• Joint weathering and infilling
Other information typically noted during subsurface rock investigations include:

• Presence of faults or shear zones
• Presence of intrusive material (volcanic dikes and sills)
• Presence of voids (solution cavities, lava tubes, etc.)
• Groundwater levels, and evidence of rock mass permeability (loss of drilling
fluid; rise or drop in borehole water level; etc.)
Method of describing discontinuities of rock masses is in accordance with International

Society of Rock Mechanics (ISRM)‟s “Suggested Method of Quantitative Description of
Discontinuities of Rock Masses” (ISRM 1981). Index properties obtained from inspection
of the recovered rock core include core recovery (i.e., the recovered core length expressed
as a percentage of the total core run length), and Rock Quality Designation or RQD (the
combined length of all sound and intact core segments equal to or greater than 4 inches in
length, expressed as a percentage of the total core run length). Often, materials
encountered during subsurface investigations represent a transitional (intermediate)
material formed by the in place weathering of rock. Such conditions may sometimes
present a complex condition with no clear boundaries between the different materials
encountered. Tunneling through the intermediate geomaterial (IGM), in some cases
referred as mixed-face condition, can be extremely difficult especially when groundwater
is present. In the areas where tunnel alignment must cross this transition zone, the
subsurface investigation is conducted much as for rock, and when possible cores are
retrieved and classified, and representative intact pieces of rock should be tested.

3.6.6.3 PRESERVATION OF CORE SAMPLES

It is desirable to preserve the rock cores retrieved from the field properly for years until
the construction is completed and disputes/claims are settled. The rock cores are to
photographed and preserved in core boxes for review by designers and contractors.
3.6.6.4 GEOTECHNICAL REPORTS:

Preparation of a Geological and Geotechnical Interpretative Report (GIR) which includes
a detailed analysis and interpretation of data contained in the above mentioned geological
and Geotechnical Factual Report (GFR) culminating in the development of a final
geological model of the ground within the route corridor. Horizontal Directional Coring,
and vertical and inclined coring. This final geological model will be created on the basis of
direct interference from surface mapping, groundwater chemical studies, petro-graphical
studies, and mineralogical studies as well as the reasonable and appropriate extrapolating
of the geology and structures from the results of surface mapping.
Based on the final geological model, geotechnical hazards shall be identified and
characterized allowing the review of selected alignment, if needed the alignment can be
modified and frozen.
The final geological model will be presented in the form of a geological longitudinal
section (A1 size) clearly demarcating the various interred lithological boundaries and
ground types along the alignment, the groundwater conditions permeability and relevant
structural information such as the width of fault zones, shear zones and
lineaments/discontinuities with attitude and orientation.
3.7 ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

Although tunnels are generally considered environmentally-friendly structures, certain
short-term environmental impacts during construction are unavoidable. Long-term impacts
from the tunnel itself, and from portals, vent shafts and approaches on local communities,
historic sites, wetlands, and other aesthetically, environmentally, and ecologically
sensitive areas must be identified and investigated thoroughly during the project planning
and feasibility stages, and appropriately addressed in environmental studies and design.
The specific environmental data needed for a particular underground project very much
depend on the geologic and geographic environment and the functional requirement of the
underground facility. Some common issues can be stated, however, and are identified
below in the form of a checklist:
• Existing infrastructure, and obstacles underground and above
• Surface structures within area of influence
• Land ownership and uses (public and private)
• Ecosystem habitat impacts
• Contaminated ground or groundwater
• Long-term impacts to groundwater levels, aquifers and water quality
• Control of runoff and erosion during construction
• Naturally gassy ground, or groundwater with deleterious chemistry
• Access constraints for potential work sites and transport routes
• Sites for muck transport and disposal
• Noise and vibrations from construction operations, and from future traffic at
approaches to the completed tunnel

• Air quality during construction, and at portals, vent shafts and approaches of the
completed tunnel
• Maintenance of vehicular traffic and transit lines during construction
• Maintenance of utilities and other existing facilities during construction
• Access to residential and commercial properties
• Pest control during construction
• Long-term community impacts
• Long-term traffic impacts
• Temporary and permanent easements
• Tunnel fire life safety and security
• Legal and environmental constraints, enumerated in environmental statements or
reports, or elsewhere. Environmental Impact Assessment, Environmental
Management Plan and Rehabilitation and Resettlement Studies shall be carried out
by the Consultant meeting the requirements of the lending agencies like ADB/
World Bank/JICA, etc.
3.8 SEISMICITY
The release of energy from earthquakes sends seismic acceleration waves traveling
through the ground. Such transient dynamic loading instantaneously increases the shear
stresses in the ground and decreases the volume of voids within the material which leads
to an increase in the pressure of fluids (water) in pores and fractures. Thus, shear forces
increase and the frictional forces that resist them decrease. Other factors also can affect the
response of the ground during earthquakes.
• Distance of the seismic source from the project site.
• Magnitude of the seismic accelerations.
• Earthquake duration.
• Subsurface profile.
• Dynamic characteristics and strengths of the materials affected.
In addition to the distance of the seismic source to the project site, and the design
(anticipated) time history, duration and magnitude of the bedrock earthquake, the
subsurface soil profile can have a profound effect on earthquake ground motions
including the intensity, frequency content, and duration of earthquake shaking.

SUPPLEMENT-III
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT OF SAFETY AUDIT
The use of checklists is highly recommended as they provide a useful “aide memoire” for the
audit team to check that no important safety aspects are being overlooked. They also give to the
project manager and the design engineer a sense of understanding of the place of safety audit in
the design process. The following lists have been drawn up based on the experience of
undertaking systematic safety audit procedures overseas. This experience indicates that extensive
lists of technical details has encouraged their use as “tick” sheets without sufficient thought being
given to the processes behind the actions. Accordingly, the checklists provide guidelines on the
principal issues that need to be examined during the course of the safety audits.
