An air overpressure (air blast) is an atmospheric pressure wave emanating from the explosion in air.
This wave comprises:
• The audible part of the airblast (acoustic): higher frequency (from 20 to 20,000Hz)
• The sub-audible part of the airblast (infrasound): low frequency
A tunnel boring machine (TBM) is a machine used to excavate tunnels with a circular cross section through a variety of soil and rock strata.
TBM type is selected based on the ground and groundwater condition and project condition.

Principle behind blasting in tunnel is to create free face by means of cut holes and then exteding the blasting to full face of tunnel.
Blasting relies on two main factors:
1. Shock wave to create cracks in the rock
2. Expansion of gas to move into the cracks to crush the rock.
Sometimes in big construction projects procedures become more important than technical matters! Construction projects require pragmatic technical people to do the job not more procedures to stop the project.

Safety is not about wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) by operatives. Safety is a culture driven by leaders. If leaders believe in safety in their heart, their construction site will be safe and great place to work for everyone.
