TUNNEL CONSTRUCTION IN INDIA Mission z
Growth in the Indian tunnel market is expected to accelerate in the next few years. Around 950 km of tunnel length is already under construction. Another 2,500 km is under various stages of planning.
z
The government’s focus on infrastructure development is a key driver. Metro projects have been announced in 10 new cities. Heavy investments are planned for construction of all-weather roads and new tunnels in strategic and sensitive areas. The Borders Road Organisation is targeting 20-25 new tunnels over the next few years. The railway capex target for 2016-17 is at an all-time high at Rs 1.2 trillion. Hydro power capacity is expected to increase by 7-8 GW in the next five to six years.
z
The sector has seen significant developments in 2015. Important tunnel works for the Jammu-Udhampur, Rohtang Pass, and Jaipur Metro projects have been completed. New tunnel works for the Jiribam-Tupul-Imphal, Mualkhang-Sairang and Chennai Metro projects have been awarded. Many landmark projects such as the Chennai-Nashri Tunnel, AMR Tunnel and Katra-Qazigund Tunnel are progressing.
z
Record-length tunnels are being completed and planned. The longest rail tunnel at Pir Panjal was made operational. The 85 km Godavari Lift Irrigation is under construction. The 33.5 km Mumbai Metro Line 3 is a completely underground corridor. The scope of tunnel projects is also expanding. An underwater tunnel is being planned through the Krishna river in Andhra Pradesh. Tunnelling in underground storage caverns is emerging as a new area of growth.
z
Tunnelling methods and techniques are evolving from non-mechanised to mechanised. Micro-tunnelling is an up-and-coming technology suitable for smaller diameters. TBMs are no longer limited to metro tunnels. Water supply and irrigation tunnels are frequently using TBMs, while hydro tunnels have started experimenting with them. The New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM) is also gaining traction across sectors.
z
Meanwhile, the biggest challenge for the sector is geological surprises. Lack of engineering skills, inadequate risk assessment, contractual disputes and safety are other areas of concern.
z
Going forward, India will remain the biggest single market in the world for underground construction projects. A strong pipeline of projects will provide a vast pool of opportunities for EPC contractors and consultants. This will also drive the market for tunnelling equipment.
z
The mission of this conference is to highlight the opportunities in tunnelling, examine the key challenges, and discuss key solutions. The conference will showcase noteworthy projects, best practices and latest technologies. It will also offer a platform to share experiences and discuss new techniques and ideas.
Target Audience The conference is targeted at: - MRTS project developers
