Application of Infrared Method for Water Detection in Karst Tunnel

Abstract:

Water rush and mud rush are two major problems during the process of tunnel construction, which can lead to big troubles. Advanced geological prediction should be carried out to prevent the emergency of water rush and mud rush during the construction in the karst and water-rich areas. Infrared detection technology is a way to detect the hidden water. In this paper, basic principles of model HY-304 infrared detection meter are described, and it is applied in Shuangbei Tunnel. By analyzing the predicted results and comparing it with the situation of excavation, the instrument is feasible as to water rush in karst areas and infrared detection technology has a great opportunity to be applied in the tunnel engineering under complex geological conditions.
