Tunnel drilling and blasting was carried ledge after ledge. At first, excavation is carried out on upper ledge (calotte) for the entire length of the tunnel, and then the lower ledge was being excavated. When excavating calotte, temporary support of the excavation was arranged with arches with shotcrete coating. The penetration of the lower ledge was carried out with the temporary fastening anchors and shotcrete on reinforcing arches. Concreting of permanent lining was carried out using a mobile formwork.
