What are the safety guarantee measures for tunnel construction?

Tunnel construction can be divided into mountain tunnels, underwater tunnels and urban tunnels according to the location of the tunnel. Therefore, relevant departments must ensure the safety of their construction personnel. At present, with the extensive application of aerial survey, remote sensing technology, geophysical technology, measurement technology, electronic computer technology, etc., the technical level of tunnel survey and design has also been greatly improved. Accurate blasting technology, horizontal drilling technology and pre-grouting technology continue to improve, it is possible to improve the safety of the tunnel excavation process, and can ensure the quality of tunnel engineering, while also ensuring the safety of construction to a certain extent.

Organizational assurance measures

Establish a production safety leadership group led by the project manager to be fully responsible for the safety production work of this project. The deputy manager in charge of safety production is the direct person in charge of safety production, and the chief engineer is the technical person in charge of safety production. Management personnel and production personnel who have not passed the safety education and training and passed the examination are not allowed to work.

System guarantee measures

① The safety production responsibility system must be strictly implemented. All levels and departments must have clear safety responsibilities, and there must be safety production indicators in economic contracts.

② Implement the three-level safety education system and register. Before changing the type of work or process, you should receive safety education about the process you are engaged in.

③All special operations personnel (blasters, electric welders, etc.) must be certified to work, and non-special workers are strictly prohibited from engaging in special operations.

③Regular safety inspection system must be implemented, and each inspection must be recorded to identify hidden accidents; rectification must be ordered, time, and measures, and the rectification notice for major hidden dangers must be completed as required.

④ Personnel entering the construction site must wear safety helmets. Personnel working in dangerous and high-altitude operations must wear labor protection equipment and safety equipment as required.

For tunnel construction, the pre-construction preparations should be done, the construction method should be correctly selected, and the construction technical plan should be compiled in combination with the actual conditions such as topography and geology, and the construction personnel should be technically informed to rationally arrange the construction.

2. A complete shift system should be established between each team in tunnel construction. When handing over the shift, the shift person should give the successor a detailed account of the construction situation and related safety issues and measures of the shift and group, and record it in the handover record book. The person in charge of the work site (leader) should carefully check the handover situation . Construction is not allowed if the safety status of the working face is not carefully checked before the start of each shift.

3. Strengthen inspection and measurement of surrounding rock during construction. For tunnel construction in poor geological sections, a small cycle construction method such as weak blasting, short excavation, strong support, early lining, and top protection should be adopted. Tunnel construction must make full use of monitoring methods to predict and forecast the surrounding rock displacement and the force status of the supporting structure, and the measurement must serve production safety.

4. If there is a dangerous situation in the tunnel, it is necessary to set up obvious signs or send a special person to guard the dangerous area, and promptly report to the person in charge of the construction site, and take timely measures to deal with it. When the situation is dangerous, all the staff should be evacuated from the dangerous area and immediately Reported.

5. All personnel entering the tunnel construction site must be equipped with safety protection equipment according to the regulations, and obey the command.

6. Do not dig into the hole if the opening of the hole has not been painted on the slope or the roof of the hole has not been protected and drainage facilities have been installed.

7. Drilling on the tunnel face

(1) When drilling personnel arrive at the work site, they should first check whether the working surface is in a safe state, such as whether the support, roof and two sides are firm. If there are loose rocks, they should be supported or treated immediately.

(2) Wet rock drilling must be used when drilling a hole with a trolley and a rock drill.

(3) It is strictly forbidden to continue drilling in the residual eye.

(4) Do not disassemble and repair rock drilling equipment at the working face.

8. Blasting operations
