800MW Mohmand Dam – Construction of Diversion Tunnels
An important structure for construction of main dam, the total length of the Diversion Tunnel 1&2 is more than 3000m. Due to large diameter (15m), the excavation was divided into three layers (heading, benching & invert). Both tunnels are being excavated from multiple work fronts and some sections breakthrough with each other.
