Abstract: Underground transport communications (tunnels and subways), in the modern world, are an integral part of urban and intercity infrastructure. Every year the need for the construction of such facilities increases and against this background there is an increase in the implementation of new projects. The sinking technology directly affects the quality, cost, speed and safety of work. In this article, we will talk about the features of the mining method using drilling and blasting (BVR), using the example of the construction of a railway tunnel. The problems faced by builders will be outlined, tasks for each aspect considered will be formulated in the primary generalization and ways to solve them will be outlined. The factors that influence the choice of the method of tunneling and related mining are considered, with a brief description of each technology used. The problematic situations that arise during the production of tunneling work are shown. The analysis of the influence of the identified issues on the work cycle is performed and the causes of its occurrence are described, with the application of photographic materials. Each parameter of the applied BVR passport is considered, options for its adjustment in various mining and geological conditions, and the dependence of its compilation on the current level of scientific and technological progress is shown. Based on the data reviewed, criteria have been formed that must be met by the methods used to eliminate the identified shortcomings. The prospects for the development of various branches of science are predicted, with a qualitative change in the methodological approach, in order to achieve the presented model of mining operations. The implementation of the proposed measures involves a comprehensive increase in the efficiency of the BVR method, during the passage of any mining operations, and not only underground transport communications.
