A breakthrough in the Ghansoli location was achieved using a new Austrian tunneling method.
New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM): How does it work and what makes it better than traditional tunneling techniques?
This approach was developed around the mid-20th century in Austria and is a modern method of building tunnels that utilizes the natural strength of surrounding rocks to keep the tunnel stable while drilling. This is in particular contrary to conventional methods of using artificial structures to ensure stability.
In the new Austrian approach, tunnels are excavated in small steps by quickly adding support using special spray concrete and other materials. In this way, the soil or rock itself becomes part of the tunnel support system. Many experts find this method more effective because it reduces the need for thick lining and heavy steel and is especially useful in difficult geological sites.
The new Austrian approach is one of the most widely used tunneling technologies in the world, especially its flexibility and economicality.
