A Sr. Tunnel Engineer was asked 3mo ago
Q. What is the difference between the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) and the Conventional Method of tunneling?
Ans. 

NATM focuses on utilizing the surrounding rock for support, while the Conventional Method relies on pre-defined structures.

  • NATM uses the ground's natural strength, allowing for flexible design adjustments during excavation.

  • Conventional Method often employs rigid support systems like steel ribs and shotcrete from the start.

  • NATM is more adaptable to varying geological conditions, making it suitable for complex terra...

A Sr. Tunnel Engineer was asked 3mo ago
Q. What is the retention time for concrete?
Ans. 

Retention time for concrete refers to the duration it takes for concrete to achieve its desired strength and durability.

  • Concrete typically reaches about 70% of its strength in 7 days.

  • Full curing can take up to 28 days for most concrete mixes.

  • Factors affecting retention time include temperature, humidity, and mix design.

  • For example, high temperatures can accelerate curing, while low temperatures can delay it.

  • Proper...

A Sr. Tunnel Engineer was asked 3mo ago
Q. What is the rock bolt pull-out test?
Ans. 

A rock bolt pull-out test evaluates the anchorage strength of rock bolts in underground structures.

  • Measures the bond strength between the rock and the bolt.

  • Involves applying a tensile load to the bolt until failure occurs.

  • Used to assess the effectiveness of rock support systems.

  • Example: Testing rock bolts in a tunnel to ensure stability.

  • Results help in designing safe and effective support systems.

A Sr. Tunnel Engineer was asked 3mo ago
Q. What is RMR?
Ans. 

RMR stands for Rock Mass Rating, a system for classifying rock masses based on their geomechanical properties.

  • RMR is used to assess the stability of rock masses in tunneling and mining.

  • It considers factors like uniaxial compressive strength, rock quality, and groundwater conditions.

  • For example, a high RMR value indicates good rock conditions, while a low value suggests potential instability.

  • RMR values typically ra...

A Sr. Tunnel Engineer was asked 3mo ago
Q. What is the purpose of shotcreting?
Ans. 

Shotcreting is a method of applying concrete through a nozzle to provide structural support and surface protection in tunnels.

  • Provides immediate support to tunnel walls and ceilings, preventing collapses.

  • Used to stabilize loose soil or rock surfaces, enhancing safety during excavation.

  • Can be applied in various forms, such as dry-mix or wet-mix shotcrete, depending on project requirements.

  • Commonly used in undergrou...

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - AECOM was an excellent company to work for a few years ago. However, it currently focuses primarily on hiring professionals who work at the behest of the respective clients. Once employed, there is rarely any connection with the company. They retain a significant portion, up to 50%, of the client's billing amount and pay you the remainder. Furthermore, they offer minimal or no salary increments after you join. Therefore, it is advisable to negotiate the highest possible remuneration during the initial hiring process.
