The invention discloses a drainage construction method for a tunnel passing through a
clastic rock steeply inclined reverse thrust water-rich fault. The drainage construction method is characterized in that a construction tunnel main
cave is divided into a rear side tunnel section, a front side tunnel section and a middle portion tunnel section passing through the
clastic rock steeply inclined reverse thrust water-rich fault, wherein a by-pass
pilot tunnel and a drain cavern are formed in the same side of the construction tunnel main
cave. When drainage construction is carried out in the construction tunnel main
cave, the drainage construction method comprises the steps of: 1, carrying out preliminary excavation construction on the rear side tunnel section; 2, synchronously carrying out excavation construction on the rear side tunnel section and a drainage hole body of the drain cavern; 3, synchronously carrying out excavation construction on the rear side tunnel section, the drainagehole body of the drain cavern and a rear side by-pass
pilot tunnel section; 4, and carrying out construction on the front portion drainage hole body, and synchronously carrying out construction on theby-pass
pilot tunnel and the tunnel main cave. The drainage construction method provides a new construction working plane by means of the by-pass pilot tunnel, improves the working efficiency, provides the high-altitude drainage hole between the tunnel main cave and the by-pass pilot tunnel, can drain water embedded in the fault to the greatest extent, reduces
water pressure in the fault in frontof a tunnel face, ensures safety construction of each tunnel face and can shorten the construction period.
