Under the leadership of Project Director Mohinder Singh, IRCON International has achieved the first breakthrough of tunnel number 14 of the Sevok-Rangpo Rail Project (SRRP). Located between Kumrek and Khanikhola in the Rangpo Sub-Division, East Sikkim, tunnel no. 14 is 1,977 m long. SRRP is nearly 45 km-long and is considered to be an engineering marvel. It passes through some of the vulnerable and geologically challenging areas of the Lesser Himalayas, making it a much-awaited milestone for the team. The project has deployed the latest and most sophisticated tunnelling technology i.e., the New Austrian Tunnelling Method. Singh has previously been the chief engineer of Bogibeel Bridge, Asia’s second longest rail-cum-road bridge as of date.
