Aus einer Baubroschüre - Tunnelbau:

Hangsicherung
Auf ca. 900 m Länge greift die Baugrube tief in den dortigen Hang ein. Dieser wird mit einer bis zu 30 m hohen Spritzbetonschale gesichert.
Sowohl diese Spitzbetonwand als auch die anderen Verbauwände werden mit ca. 7.000 Temporärankern in einer Gesamtlänge von 120.000 m und 750 Felsnägeln rückgesichert.
Nach der Verfüllung sind die Spundbohlen zu ziehen, die Spritzbetonschale zu perforieren und ca. jeder 20. Bohrpfahl zu ***überbohren***, um dem Grundwasser wieder entsprechende Fließwege freizugeben.
