Abstract
The criteria for the design of the shaft/tunnel system excavation at the Rocky Mountain Project was to provide a stable opening during and after construction to receive the concrete lining and to minimize the disturbance of the surrounding rock mass so that the rock mass resists the displacement of the tunnel mining upon internal pressurization. This paper will summarize the geotechnical design of the shaft, elbow, tunnel, bifurcations, and penstocks
