GEODETIC WORKS ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MRKE TUNNEL IN THE CONTEXT OF METHOD OF EXECUTION OF WORKS AND GEOMORPHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS

Abstract

In this paper geodetic works during the excavation of tunnels are presented, with specific example of Mrke Tunnel on the highway section Smokovac -Mateševo in Montenegro. All phases of geodetic works have been presented, such as the construction of underground and overground geodetic networks, control of tunnel excavation process, as well as geodetic works on the monitoring of radial deformations during the excavation. The New Austrian Tunnel Method (NATM) has been implemented for the excavation of the Mrke Tunnel, therefore the concept of active geotechnical design was presented and the review of specific geodetic works on surveying and monitoring with reference to its application was provided. The geomorphological conditions of the surveyed structure have also been presented.
