Abstract:

The Main Spillway and Diversion Tunnel at Manikin Dam is one of the dams under construction in the Kupang City area, where several soil or rock investigations have been carried out around it. However, the field investigations are not accompanied by a surface geological investigation or evaluation of subsurface geological conditions based on core drill results. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to evaluate the engineering geological condition in tunnel construction by displaying surface and subsurface geological mapping with a scale of 1:10,000 and evaluate samples of core drilling using the Rock Mass Rating method in order to have more accurate stand-up time assumptions. The result of engineering geological mapping shows that the research area has three lithologies, namely a basalt unit, a carbonaceous sandstone unit, and a scaly claystone with a chaotic rock unit. The core-drill evaluation indicates that the research area is classified into three quality rock masses, namely Good Rock with an RMR Rating of 64, Fair Rock with an RMR Rating of 46, and Poor Rock with an RMR Rating of 36. The stand-up time value for each rock mass quality category is obtained from the quality rock mass results. The stand-up time value for the Good Rock category is 2200 hours, the Fair Rock category is 30 hours and the Poor Rock category is 1.2 - 1.7 hours. Based on the low stand-up time values in the Fair Rock and Poor Rock categories, it is expected that a support system will be installed immediately after tunnel excavation.
