Planning for monitoring of probe hole drilling and pre-excavation grouting with measurement while drilling (MWD), vibration monitoring, and ground penetrating radar (GPR)
Probe hole drilling and pre-excavation grouting are methods commonly used in rock tunneling to mitigate the significant risk caused by high groundwater pressures and potentially high groundwater inflows. The current state of the practice involves measuring groundwater inflow rates through the probe …
