Intro & Overview
Atal Tunnel has been developed under the Rohtang Hand Down the Leh-Manali Road as an all-weather course to Leh and Lahaul and Spiti lowlands. At a length of 9.02 kilometres, it is the lengthiest tunnel above 10,000 feet (3,048 m) in the world and is named after former Prime Minister of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
It was inaugurated by Head of state Narendra Modi on 3 Oct 2020. The tunnel reduces the overall span between Manali & Leh, coming from 116 kilometres to 71 kilometres, and the travelling opportunity from 5 – 6 hours to 2 hours.
The tunnel has been actually created, making use of the New Austrian tunnelling strategy. It has been outfitted with a semi-transverse airflow unit, where big followers separately circulate air throughout the tunnel. A 2.25 m tall and a 3.6 m large emergency tunnel has been incorporated into the tunnel cross-section underneath the main carriageway for emptying during emergencies.
Contamination sensors continuously observe the sky quality in the tunnel. Also, if the sky quality in the tunnel is actually below the wanted level, a new sky is injected into the tunnel using two heavy-duty fans on each edge of the tunnel. Atal tunnel, a design wonder, is an appealing & essential example for Public, Mechanical & Structural Design Trainees.
Scheme
The scheme is wanted to offer a Financial Grant for carrying out a Study Excursion of ATAL TUNNEL through Pupils/ faculty of AICTE approved Companies in the field of technological education.
Purposes
- To acquire firsthand knowledge & information regarding the current methods made use of in the development of the tunnel and explicitly concerning the New Austrian tunneling procedure.
- Gain insight about the problems & of threats experienced during the execution of the task and also their resolution with specific recommendation to digging during massive snowfall in winter, blasting & excavating of uncertain stones, placement of the tunnel given excavating & excavation from each end of the tunnel, digging & tunneling at greater than 46 avalanche sites on techniques to the tunnel, the dispensation of substantial quantities of dug deep into rock and soil, continuous dewatering of heavy access of water, landslides, landslides, etc.
- To enhance the high quality of design education in the nation and infuse the research & development culture among the pupils.
- To urge design trainees to enhance their field of technical education and learning.
