In construction phase in MIU, the study on engineering technology consist of following four subjects, which are Demonstration of design methodology of a greatly deepr underground structure, Demonstration of excavation and supplymentary methods of a greatly deepr underground structure, Demonstration of the countermeasure during excavation of a greatly deepr underground structure and Demonstration of the safe construction for a greatly deepr underground structure. In the study in FY2007, the design methodlogy in Phase 1 is verified until 200 m depth on excavation of ventilation shaft. A plan, countermeasure and concept for influence of differential water pressure, long-term maintenance and risk management in the view of geological disposal project were proposed.
