00Jacobs Associates was also
responsible for geotechnical characterization, which consisted of examination
and mapping of existing pilot tunnels and surface outcrops, observation
of percussive drilling at the ground surface, and laboratory testing of
rock materials taken from within the pilot tunnels. An instrumentation
and monitoring program was implemented to measure ground and tunnel lining
displacements. Both Multiple Point Borehole Extensometers and lining convergence
measurements were utilized.
