42 Application to Underground Tunnel Reservoir Floodwater Pump-up Floodwater Inflow Floodwater Inflow Stored Floodwater

43 Advantages of URUP for Tunnel Reservoir Non-circular tunnel configuration gives larger reserve capacity in spite of Conventional Tunneling Deep requiring smaller tunnel cover and pump-up facilities. Tunnel Cover min. 1.0~1.5D Shallow Relieved Loads and Water Head Tunnel Cover 0.7m Irrespective to Geology & Tunnel Configuration URUP Tunneling Storage Capacity Hydrostatic Pressure Earth Pressure Relieved Loads & Smaller Pump-up Facilities Cost Reduction Non-circular Combined Arch Tunnel

44 URUP Conventional Advantages of URUP for Tunnel Reservoir Easier Disposal of Sediment after Floodwater Discharge Vessel Lifting Up Shaft Accumulation Tunnel Sedimentation of Muck Vertical Muck Disposal Direct Access to Surface Safety Improvement Time/Cost Reduction Horizontal & Direct Muck Loading

45 The public has become increasingly aware that development shouldn t result in a compromised and depleted environment. Enlightened citizens see sustainability, not as an unattainable ideal, but as a practical goal. Thank you for your attention. We are always at your disposal!
