Project Description

Access Tunnel to the future Powerhouse at Tekeze, Ethiopia

Prior to building the hydropower dam, EEPCo needed to gain access. For this reason, they subcontracted Minex Microtunneling in the construction of an exploratory tunnel. This tunnel was 170 meters long, 2 meters wide and 2.2 meters high. The portal was built (blasted) on a slope of 80 degrees and the entire construction time took 2 months.
