Abstract
Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd. (KRCL) has been assigned construction of 71 km Railway Line from Katra to Dharam in Jammu & Kashmir state of India. This line when constructed up to Quazigund will link the Kashmir valley with main Indian Railways network. Indian Railway Construction Co. (IRCON) is assigned the section from Dharam to Quazigund. Railway Line in the valley beyond Quazigund is in operation. The KRCL stretch is situated in high mountains and deep gorges requiring construction of large number of tunnels and major bridges. The strata in most of the tunnels is fragile and charged with water particularly in tunnels passing through shear Zones. Several problems were faced while tunnelling which were handled in consultation with experts from all over the world.
