| Abstract: |
GK Immersed Tunnel has its reputation for the successful completion of project in time after overcoming all the difficulties expected during the design stage. Waves are high and fluctuating from time to time and the tunnel elements were to be placed at deep sea, maximum depth of 48m below the sea level. All the necessary activities have to be finished within the time frame allowed in the weather window. This paper presents major studies and methodologies(weather forecasting system, gravel bedding, positioning system) adopted for the immersion operation to overcome these difficulties during execution of GK immersed tunnel. |
