Through the steel plates in the roofis necessary to set two pipes for pumping concrete over them. After that, on steel arches set netting and close the profile with shotcrete. By closing the profile of shotcrete through tubes placed in the roof of the tunnel in the chimney can be pumped concrete plug. Before the above procedure is necessary if the tunnel until then broken through the full profile import earthen or stone material and reduce the profile of tunneling approximately in half. Care should be taken during pumping concrete plug in the chimney, the concrete will not closed drainage tubes
