We are doing this work manually, so we will go to Malwa and then the pipe will be laid.Nothing can be said about how I will feel right now, but if everything goes well, we will get good news by this evening.
What happened during the rescue operation ?
The rescue operation to safely rescue 41 laborers trapped in the tunnel had started about 16 days ago. The rescue workers engaged in this process had to face many problems repeatedly.Initially, horizontal or regional excavation was started for rescue so that the workers trapped in the tunnel could be reached through a direct route, but in this process many difficulties had to be faced, for example, in Malve, there were bars and If the machine is damaged,
And finally it broke after which a long effort was made to remove it. After this, vertical excavation was started but along with this, in the process of horizontal excavation, the last 5 meters of excavation was done manually.Because of this, the possibility of throwing out workers manually seems to be increasing.
If digging is done by machine
In this process, if the process of horizontal digging is done through a machine, digging is done in the ground through this machine.Agar Machine is also called Burma Machine or Drilling Machine in Hindi. Zee Industry of Jaipur has been making Agar Machine for many years.The company’s senior sales person Mukesh Kumawat said that he himself is keeping a close eye on the ongoing rescue operation in Uttarakhand.
Then let us tell you that if the machine is used in making holes both vertically and horizontally, there are round plates on top of a pipe and there is a cutting edge on the front side i.e. at the mouth which cuts the soil or rock. does cutting work,
How important is an auger machine?
At present, in whatever picture of Tarun is coming out, the part of the tunnel opening towards Silky Yaar is visible. Only a more than 4 kilometer long tunnel is being built between Yaar and Barkot. On the day of Diwali, At that time, 41 workers were about 250 meters inside the Silk Road Gate and suddenly there was a Malwa front of about 70 meters in front of them and they got stuck in this tunnel.
Initially, the debris was being taken out by digging in the normal way, but this was not done because there was a fear that while taking out the debris, more debris might fall from above, in such a situation, the help of auger machine was taken.
If the machine has drilled in Malwa and fitted a rescue pipe of about 60 meters length with the help of which the workers could come out, this pipe is about 900 meters wide.When the machine drills, it makes noise due to which the seven are not harmed. In such a situation, there is little hope of keeping the Malwa torso from above.A hole can be made inside the earth up to about 95 feet with an agar machine, after which an extension road has to be laid in the agar.
