Construction Impact Stand-up time, particularly in blocky ground, dictates in large part whether ground support systems such as rock bolts and mesh are required, or other systems such as steel supports or shotcrete. Two geological problems that affect roads after their construction are: (a) Frost action and (b) Erosion of slopes along roads.

In evaluating the feasibility of using compressed air, it is essential especially when water inflow or face instability, or both, are expected For nearly every geological condition, a method or combination of methods of tunneling has been engineered to compensate for the different stresses and pressures when creating a void underground. anticipated.
