About Mukesh Jakhwal

Over 17 years of Geological/Geotechnical work experience of DBM, NATM and TBM bored tunnels, high speed rail & Railway, Hydro electrical project and Large scale caverns project in India and overseas. Geological mapping in pre & post construction stages for tunnels, surface and underground power house, reservoir rim area, tunnel portal. Demarcation of Stripping limits along dam abutment. 3D log of Exploratory Drift and underground structures and classification of same with RMR & Q and SMR value. Cut slope for large structure and road and railway project and classification based on the SMR and ensure the stability of slope with kinematics analysis. Due diligence for rock support (rock bolts/anchors, swellex, self drilling anchors, welded wiremess, SFRS, PFRS, dry and plane shotcrete, lattice girders, steel ribs, ground struts, pipe roofing etc.). Probe Hole drilling with analysis/interpretation of the same, Pre grouting in tunneling. To suggest Drilling and Blasting pattern for dam abutment & underground structures with economical powder factor. Bore hole Logging, core drilling using DTH and wire line system along with water permeability test (Pressure test and Constant Head method), Grout ability test in Bore holes. In hand experience with installation the SIDRA drain system with preventer (BOP) in excessive seepage reaches. Curtain, Contact, Consolidation, Pressure, Contour injection & PU grouting for dam and underground structures as per the IS codes. Experience of grouting using JEAN LUTZ software. Survey & estimation of Construction material of quarry, river bed Shoal and dumping area. Documentation for unforeseen geological hurdles & giving timely inputs to the execution team for proper planning and scheduling of the project work.Geo technical instrumentation:Load cell, Tape extensometer & Tape Convergence Point, Borehole extensometer (Single & Multiple), Stress, strain, pore pressure, No stress strain meter, tele thermometer, temperature gauge, uplift pressure meter, Perimetric joint meter, direct and inverted plum line for dam, strong motion accelerograph and automatic weather station with the interpretation of all data in Data Acquisition System.Instrumentation for metro project-Review of method statement for instruments to be used for underground and station area of metro sites daily monitoring of data for inclinometer, stand pipes, load cell, GSM, BSM, crack meters, tiltmeter, Vibration monitoring, strain gauges for struts, bireflex target, 3-D target.
