太古高(gao)速公(gong)(gong)(gong)路(lu)(lu)西(xi)山隧(sui)道(dao)群總長15公(gong)(gong)(gong)里,其中,西(xi)山特長隧(sui)道(dao)長13.6公(gong)(gong)(gong)里,西(xi)山2號隧(sui)道(dao)長1.4公(gong)(gong)(gong)里,兩隧(sui)道(dao)進出口最小距離180米,這(zhe)使得太古高(gao)速公(gong)(gong)(gong)路(lu)(lu)工程(cheng)成(cheng)為交通運輸部首批風險評估試(shi)點工程(cheng),全國在建公(gong)(gong)(gong)路(lu)(lu)中公(gong)(gong)(gong)認施工難(nan)度第一。
西山隧(sui)道(dao)(dao)是全(quan)國在建公路中最(zui)長的隧(sui)道(dao)(dao),建成后(hou)將成為繼(ji)秦嶺隧(sui)道(dao)(dao)后(hou)全(quan)國第(di)二長隧(sui)道(dao)(dao),世界第(di)四的特長公路隧(sui)道(dao)(dao),該(gai)隧(sui)道(dao)(dao)于2012年10月(yue)主體貫通。整(zheng)條(tiao)路全(quan)線橋(qiao)隧(sui)相連(lian)比例高達71%。
西(xi)山隧道難(nan)掘,從先(xian)期的地質(zhi)勘察就有所(suo)體現。2006年,勘察人員(yuan)開始工作(zuo),每隔50米,在(zai)西(xi)山鉆一個孔查看地質(zhi)情況,最深700米,淺處也有150米。風吹日(ri)曬(shai),荒野為(wei)路,整個勘察就耗時一年。
從09年5月開始(shi),西山兩(liang)個隧(sui)洞的(de)(de)大(da)多工(gong)作面開掘(jue),太(tai)古高速公路建管(guan)(guan)處工(gong)程管(guan)(guan)理(li)部負責人(ren)丁秀春介紹,在隧(sui)道(dao)線(xian)(xian)路前方,有(you)塌方、突水(shui)涌(yong)(yong)泥等重大(da)危險源31處,比如:山頂離隧(sui)道(dao)最(zui)(zui)深有(you)450米(mi),深埋地下、蘊藏能(neng)量的(de)(de)巖層被(bei)突然(ran)掘(jue)開后,有(you)可(ke)能(neng)引發(fa)巖爆(bao)。此外,隧(sui)道(dao)的(de)(de)線(xian)(xian)路,與我市的(de)(de)“供水(shui)生命線(xian)(xian)”———引黃輸水(shui)管(guan)(guan)線(xian)(xian)交叉4處,這(zhe)(zhe)些直徑3米(mi)的(de)(de)水(shui)管(guan)(guan)一旦被(bei)挖破,全(quan)市的(de)(de)飲水(shui)安全(quan)都成問題(ti)。與太(tai)鋼的(de)(de)超大(da)壓(ya)力(li)精粉(fen)輸送管(guan)(guan)線(xian)(xian)交叉7處,這(zhe)(zhe)些壓(ya)力(li)管(guan)(guan)稍微(wei)破損,將會(hui)引起(qi)大(da)爆(bao)炸(zha)(zha)!隧(sui)道(dao)施工(gong)最(zui)(zui)怕碰見(jian)巖石(shi)斷(duan)層,斷(duan)層巖石(shi)破碎(sui),地下水(shui)多,掘(jue)進時(shi)特別容易發(fa)生坍(tan)塌、突水(shui)、涌(yong)(yong)泥。可(ke)在西山隧(sui)道(dao),不(bu)僅(jin)要穿(chuan)越(yue)17條破碎(sui)層帶外,還要穿(chuan)越(yue)多個高瓦斯煤(mei)層、石(shi)膏采(cai)空區(qu),這(zhe)(zhe)些采(cai)空區(qu)都存在著塌方,瓦斯爆(bao)炸(zha)(zha)的(de)(de)危險。
