Detail Design of Load Cell Cavern in Transportation Tunnel (T37)
NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
- As a matter of fact, DT1 and DT2 have been designed in Rogun Dam and HPP as diversion tunnels of the Vakhsh River.
- Intake portals of the mentioned t unnels are located at the left bank (first part) and their outlet portals at the right bank (second part), as they cross underneath the river.
- In the meantime, outlet portals of the mentioned tunnels also function as power outlets during operation period.
- T37 tunnel has been designe d in right bank for transportation of the machinery. Intake portal of T37 tunnel starts at bridge #2, crosses by DT1 and DT2 tunnels and ends at bridge #3
- For repairing and maintenance of DT1 And DT2 during operation period, several machinery and equipment wer e needed to enter into the mentioned structures.
- Entrance and exit of such machinery and equipment into /Out of DT1 And DT2 diversion tunnels can be done through a separate space called load cell (LC).
