 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj76HGewkiI Chinese construction firm China communication Construction Company (CCCC) has sucessfully drilled the longest railway tunnel in East Africa. The 4.5 km Ngong tunnel,designed as a single track railway tunnel with a height of 9m and width of 7m, is on the 120-kilometer Nairobi-Naivasha route of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR).   Some of the challenges faced by CCCC during excavation includes water leakages, uneven pressure, shallow depth excavation, surrounding rocks, structural fault-line and oil pipeline protection. The tunnel has 146 refuge holes built at every 30 meters in the tunnel for maintenance workers to take cover when the train approaching. A 533 meter wide emergency rescue channel was also constructed within the tunnel to allow emergency vehicles in.   About 600 workers and engineers participated in the twenty four months construction using the New Austrian Tunneling Method of drilling and blasting. https://autojosh.com/chinese-firm-unveils-kenyas-4-5km-ngong-railway-tunnelthe-longest-in-east-africa/ Cc Lalasticlala Mynd44 1 Like |

Buhari is there travelling from one place to another when his counterparts are developing their country.... When he return, he'll blame PDP's 16years rule... Adding his 4years to that of 16years makes Nigeria a dark country for 20years under democracy without anything to show for..... 1 Like |
