Siglufjörður Tunnel Geology
Dominating rock is basalt with sub-horizontal bedding, with changing porosity and with transfer to
fine-grained facia. Variability of the massif in the horizontal direction is given by the conditions
during the overthrust creation (e.g. gas effects, liquid circulation, cooling of lava), therefore even the
transition into the smear of volcanic breccias of soil character are not uncommon.
During the excavation the sedimentary tuff layer was identified for the length of 400m. Its thickness
was approximately 1m with slight dip to SW. The encountered dykes are also of basaltic character,
NS direction with the steep dip, the thickness usually in metres.
Some encountered faults with the thickness between 1m to 5m are formed by mylonitized rock and
they have certain negative impact on the tunnel excavation. Less widespread is NW-SE tectonics,
which is probably younger than NS tectonics. It could be characterized by the breccias disturbance of
the rock with local caverns.
At the same time the larger water inflows could be encountered.
Ólafsfjörður Tunnel Geology
The excavation so far is in volcanic tertiary rocks, mostly basalts and partially volcano-clastics.
The basalts are fine to medium grained, compact and also foamed by gas, often with zeolite.
The dykes are formed also by basalt, but more brittle and more broken than in Siglufjörður Tunnel.
Volcano-clastic sediments are represented by scoria and red sandstone. In the basalt formations there
are interbedds of nearly horizontal fine-grained tuff layers.
The rock classification (according to the Czech Standard CSN 73 1001) is predominantly between
R2 –R4, the Q value according to the Barton NGI classification is 0.08 to 7.0.
The rock mass is heavily broken. The main joint sets are orientated either perpendicularly to the
tunnel axis, or parallel to it. Their dip is very steep, mostly around 80º.
In many places the rock is heavily broken as a result of tectonic forces. Up to the station km 13.100
the water inflows into the tunnel were not significant with low impact on the excavation itself.
Only behind this station the water ingress started to be higher, in the station of km 12.940 the water
inflow reached more than 2.000 l/min.

Grouting activities:
- Pre grouting with ordinary cement- , micro cement or ultra fine cement grouts and polyurethane
resins (even in extremely cold water temperature like +1 ºC).
- Refilling of caverns as pre- and post grouting with urea-silicate foams.
- Post grouting for sealing and rock stability (consolidation grouting) with cement grouts (even
accelerated), polyurethane resins and urea-silicate foams.
- Stopping of water under pressure > 20 bars in warm and very cold water (like +1 ºC).
