How to dig a tunnel underground with your own hands. How to dig an underground passage

In fact, the mandatory program of a man's life sounds like this: raise a son, plant a tree, build a house and dig underground passage. Don't ask where we got it from, there's no time to explain. Better listen to engineer Alexey Zhuravsky from the Gotthard and Partners design bureau - he told us how to dig an underground passage correctly.

How to dig

If you are not going to make a secret out of the move, you can dig in the “Berlin” way: a trench is dug, the walls and roof of the future move are built in it, and then everything is filled up. But the neighbors will come to look, everyone will want the same one, only bigger, and in the end someone will accidentally dig up hell. It’s better to dig unnoticed, using the “Parisian” method: a vertical well is dug, and an adit is led from it sideways.

Where to dig

Sandy soils - ideal option. At one time they made it possible to dig passages under Berlin Wall, including the famous “Tunnel 29” 140 meters long. Clay is difficult to dig, and there is a higher chance of encountering interlayer water. It is useful to drill wells along the entire trajectory in advance and find out what you will be dealing with.

How to strengthen

If you are digging an adit without strengthening the walls and ceiling, place a slab with dates of life on top. When you are overwhelmed, your family will be able to limit themselves to a buffet table. But it’s better to reinforce the passage every half meter with support - a frame made of tarred boards. When it is ready, it is necessary to thoroughly plank the walls and ceiling or even concrete them, as the Palestinians do in the secret tunnels from the Gaza Strip to Israel.

How to arrange

To keep the tunnel dry, it must be made downhill. It is advisable to arrange forced ventilation: a fan at the entrance and pipes with holes along the entire length of the structure. One of the problems of the “tunnel of life” in Sarajevo, through which people got out of the besieged city, was the lack of ventilation. As a result, we had to get oxygen masks.

How not to fall asleep

You can only dig an underground passage in your own land. Otherwise, if discovered, it will be buried, and you will pay for the event. Before starting the process, find out if there are any cables, oil pipelines or missile silos along the way. A depth scanner will help with this. And underground gas analyzers for carbon dioxide and methane will not be damaged, otherwise the tunnel will be different - with a flight to bright light and a feeling of grace.

How to mask

The recently caught Colombian drug lord Guzman took his underground passages to the sewers, and this helped him for the time being. It is illegal to cut into public communications, but you can apply the principle itself and disguise the exit as a familiar part of the landscape - a plank toilet, a beach locker room or a corporate party with Nagiyev.

Today, building a bunker is not as relevant as it was 30 years ago, but, nevertheless, if you have the desire and need to hide in the event of some kind of natural disaster, then this is very good idea. Construction of a bunker is very important if you live in an area where, for example, there is a chemical plant or other facility that contains potential danger. This way, in the event of an accident, you can hide in a bunker and wait until the situation returns to normal.

When building a bunker, you need to consider 2 factors: for what purpose it is needed and how long you plan to stay in it. The more serious the potential danger and the longer you stay in it, the deeper and more thoroughly you need to make the bunker so that you can be reliably protected and comfortable in it. Let's look at how to build underground bunker with your own hands.

When you have determined for what tasks you need a bunker, you can approximately estimate its dimensions, the depth at which it will be located and the height of the ceiling. A fairly simple bunker can be built from metal. As for a reliable and strong bunker, it is best to build it from concrete.

How to build a simple bunker

A simple bunker is mounted from thick sheets of metal, it is best to use sheets 5mm thick. In order to build a simple bunker you need to dig a pit for it. This pit should be 50 centimeters larger than the bunker itself. Also dig a hole for the entrance to the bunker. We recommend making it separate from the main structure. The choice of bunker depth again depends on the hazard present. It is best to make a bunker at a depth of 5 meters from ground level.

The entrance to the bunker can be made in the form of a hatch, with a hermetically sealed lid. Separately, it is worth mentioning the tightness of the entire structure. As you understand, the bunker must be completely sealed, so all seams must be thoroughly welded and additionally treated with a layer of insulation. But more on that a little later. To build the bunker itself, you need to weld the bottom, then the walls, and then the roof. We recommend welding the corners of the structure on both sides with metal corners for strength. If the bunker is large enough, then make supports at a certain distance so that the roof does not sag under the weight of the earth. When the frame is welded, it is necessary to autogenously cut out the hatch for the entrance, as well as holes for supplying various communications: electricity, water, antenna, etc. We'll talk about communications a little later. Also make hooks with which you can lower the hopper with a crane. Then treat the surface of the bunker with mastic in order to create reliable waterproofing and prevent metal destruction; in addition, you can cover the bottom of the bunker with a layer of mastic.

Next you need to prepare the base for the bunker. It can be made from either sand or concrete. If the area is swampy, then, of course, you need to make a concrete base; in general, it is more reliable. If you have a dry area, you can limit yourself to a sand cushion. We will talk about how to make a concrete base below, and now let’s say a few words about the sand base. Sand is poured onto a previously leveled surface. The sand layer should be about 20 centimeters. The sand also needs to be compacted well. After this, we lower the bunker to the bottom of the pit. Then we weld the entrance hatch and connect the communications.

It is best to cover the edges of the bunker with clay, as it will provide good protection for the structure. We fill the rest of the hole with earth and compact it. Next, we set up the communications and check the ventilation.

How to build a reliable bunker

To build a reliable bunker, we need concrete, and a lot of concrete. We are digging a pit for our future construction. Then we level its bottom, lay a waterproofing film and fill it with 20 centimeters of sand, which we compact well. Then we construct the formwork and lay a two-level mesh of reinforcement. After this, we fill the structure with concrete. In general, we do everything as described in the article about.

While the concrete has not hardened, we insert reinforcing rods into it; they will be the basis of the walls. We insert rods both around the perimeter and in the center, where partitions will be built. When the foundation has hardened, we proceed to the walls. To fill them, also use formwork. Don't forget to leave openings for passage through the bunker and an opening for entry. As for the roof, we construct it from floor slabs, laying it on concrete mortar.

After constructing the bunker, we build an entrance to it from concrete rings or from a metal tunnel. Then we cover it on the outside with mastic for waterproofing.

As for communications, water, electricity, Internet and television can be installed in the bunker. Also install a radio antenna to receive radio signals on long and short waves. Install a dry closet and also install an electric generator. At this point, the construction of the bunker is completed, and now it can be equipped.

How to mask

The recently caught Colombian drug lord Guzman took his underground passages to the sewers, and this helped him for the time being. It is illegal to cut into public communications, but you can apply the principle itself and disguise the exit as a familiar part of the landscape - a plank toilet, a beach locker room or a corporate party with Nagiyev.
