The
Rohtang Tunnel is being built under the Rohtang Pass in the eastern Pir
Panjal range of the Himalayas on the Leh-Manali Highway. With a length
of 8.8 km, this tunnel is one of the longest road tunnels in India, the
longest being the Chenani-Nashri Tunnel north of Udhampur. This tunnel
is expected to reduce the distance between Manali and Keylong by about
60 km. The tunnel is at an elevation of 10,171 ft whereas the Rohtang
pass is at 13,051 ft, 51 km away from Manali.
Encardio-rite was
awarded the contract for the instrumentation and monitoring work. They
joined hands with Amberg Technologies AG, Switzerland to offer services
for tunnel seismic profile measurement in India. Encardio-rite has
successfully completed about five tests for the Rohtang Pass Highway
Tunnel in India.
